Chinese Conversation – lesson 260

Friday, November 14th, 2008

缺乏安全感的人就很不一样了。他们不是在自己内心寻找安全感,而是寻找他人的帮助来获得安全感。这种人总是同意别人建议的每件事,就因为害怕自己的意见会遭到拒绝。傲慢或防御心强的人通常也是很没有安全感的,他们会借着贬低或指责别人,来掩饰他们的不安。

Less secure people are quite different. Instead of finding security in themselves, they look for other people to provide it. This kind of person constantly agrees with everything others suggest, for fear of having their own ideas rejected. Arrogant or defensive people are also usually insecure; in an attempt to hide their insecurities, they belittle or blame others.
