Being insecure Quote by Eugene Nathaniel Butler
“You talk a lot on almost anything, to mask the fact you have fears of people thinking you are not smart. You put others down as to any little thing, to hide your own doubts about self. You claim your boyfriend/girlfriend is stepping out, but you do same at the drop of a hat. Don't even get me on the magic tricks folks do with outfits. Sherlock, if you think those around can't see your insecurities, you are wrong, maybe they stick around because they care...don't push it.”
