"Benefits of being insecure

To test their idea that mixed groups would benefit survival, Ein-Dor and his colleagues put students in groups of threes alone in a room with a concealed smoke machine, which was switched on to simulate a fire. Groups were quicker to notice the smoke and to react to it if they contained individuals who scored high for insecure attachment.

Groups that had a member who rated high for the anxious attachment style tended to notice the smoke faster than other groups, and those that had a member rating high on attachment avoidance tended to react first, such as by leaving the room."


Pretty interesting I think. Because I'm insecure I have a higher chance of getting out alive! :cool

It makes sense, to an extent. If you are by nature a wary person, you will be more apt to recognize danger and get away from it than if you are more trusting. of course the reverse can also be true, being too wary will make a person see danger where none exists, thus creating a fight or flight response when one isn't necessary!

Not much good if the've already died of a heart attack or a stroke ect due to the toll their anxious and stressful nature does to their body.

Being insecure doesn't necessarily mean you're a stressed out person. I'm very insecure when it comes to relationships but I tend to be a pretty laid back person in general. I guess I'll be getting out alive too.

Agreed.

It's always a good thing to have a little jealousy in a relationship because it's nice to know that someone dosen't want to loose you.

I see it more that they have issues with trust and security which can only be negative in a relationship.

I consider myself insecure. But I'll still die in a fire because I'm constantly second guessing myself.
