Insecurity is an inner feeling of being threatened and/or inadequate in some way. We've all felt it at one time or another.

Feeling insecure in a relationship can be awful.

Although there are some relationship insecurities that are totally normal, others can make you wonder if something is wrong with you. If you feel like you're with the right person and that you've done everything you can to build a healthy relationship, the insecurity can be compounded by something else: frustration.

It's hard when you know you don't feel good, but you don't know why. If you're constantly wondering to yourself, "Why am I feeling insecure in my relationship?" with no real answers, it may be time to delve a little deeper.
