1. You’ve Been Hurt in the past
When you’ve been hurt by a guy in the past, maybe he cheated on you, for example, it can damage your attitude to relationships. If you were hurt before, you may think it will happen again and this makes you feel insecure. What you need to try and remember is that every guy isn’t the same and just because one guy hurt you, doesn’t mean this one will. That's one of the most important things that make you feel insecure in a relationship.
2. You Don’t Trust Your Partner
Maybe your partner has given you valid reason not to trust him, or maybe you just find it hard to trust in relationships. Either way, this is something you need to talk about and work on as a couple, or you’ll always feel insecure and unable to move forward.

3. You Doubt Yourself
If you doubt yourself, thinking that your partner is out of your league, then obviously you’ll feel insecure because you think that he’ll find someone better and leave you. You just have to believe in yourself and that you’re good enough, not just for his sake, but for your own, because putting yourself down isn’t healthy. He chose you and if he didn’t want to be with you, he wouldn’t be.
4. Other People’s Opinions
Some people can’t help but interfere in other people’s relationships. That’s not to say you should ignore loved ones if they have concerns, but when people just interfere for the sake of it, it can be damaging and make you feel insecure. At the end of the day, it’s your relationship, so just go with your gut and what you think is right.
5. You Always Expect the Worst
Sometimes when things are going really well in a relationship, you can’t relax and enjoy it because you’re convinced it’s too good to be true and something will go wrong. Yes, something may go wrong, but you can’t possibly predict that, so all you can do is try and enjoy the moment and not feel insecure about something that may not even happen.
