I think that insecurity works, in this specific context, in two layers, connected in the person, and his/her specific biography (temperament, character and circumstances) From a corporate / work / career perspective, the person might be fearful to lose (in the short term by losing a job / opportunity), from the medium long term by hurting career goals From a personal perspective, depending on the biography and culture, the person might have a weak baggage of virtues / competencies, that make him/her insecure Some of the items mentioned in the list are, to a certain extent, compensation mechanisms. They compensate for the lack of inner strength, in facing external circumstances. Excellent post !!!

From a corporate / work / career perspective, the person might be fearful to lose (in the short term by losing a job / opportunity), from the medium long term by hurting career goals

From a personal perspective, depending on the biography and culture, the person might have a weak baggage of virtues / competencies, that make him/her insecure

Some of the items mentioned in the list are, to a certain extent, compensation mechanisms. They compensate for the lack of inner strength, in facing external circumstances.
