Note: Confident People VS The Insecure

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
💌 "OA. She's overacting again.", "Stop being pretentious. You're not all that.", and "They act like they're VIPs. Who do they think they are?" are a few examples of complaints which jealous, insecure and cowardly passive-aggressive individuals are likely to say. To be insecure means to lack security and confidence in oneself - when one feels jealously threatened by somebody else that they feel the need to bring the latter down to soothe their insecurities.
🔹 Some of the subtle and obvious signs which indicate someone you know could be very insecure:
1] They enjoy making fun of other people, while forgetting their own flaws and imperfections. Examples: Laughing at you scornfully when you're facing a difficult situation, giggling childishly whenever you make a mistake, and joking about someone's looks or outfit.
2] They do whatever they can to purposely prove they're a lot better than you. Examples: Saying statements like "Oh that's nothing. I've done that before. Not once but many times." and buying the exact same item which you bought except in larger quantities.
3] They're shallow, deliberately stuck-up and extremely materialistic. They either look you up and down arrogantly during conversations, secretly finding your simple clothing deplorable, or they refuse to give you proper eye contact because according to their standards you're not special enough to grab their attention.
4] They habitually gossip offline and online by way of whiny or derisive status updates about people whom they can't stand. They seem to be naturals at making incorrect assumptions and ridiculous guesses about others' thoughts or intentions. If you genuinely didn't fancy a person, you wouldn't grant them the privilege to earn your rewards of good deeds through backbiting. You'd keep your mouth shut. Since they got zero impact in your life, you seldom have their names mentioned.
5] Constantly or uncontrollably expressing negative emotions, when certain sentiments aren't obliged to be disclosed. Examples: "I hate her voice.", "Her attitude makes me cringe.", "This place sucks.", "His hairstyle is awful." and "They are so unprofessional.". If you weren't hired to be a judge in some sort of competition and if nobody's living conditions can be improved by hearing your unwanted opinion, it is wiser to be silent.
🔸 Some traits of people with strong personalities, who are confident and secure:
1] They defend the oppressed or unjustly mistreated, they help the weak, and they uplift others for Allah's sake. Seeing you in trouble inspires them to assist you, advise or at least show sympathy.
2] As they're grateful to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and contented with who they are, they don't regard you as a threat to their self-esteem. You can narrate to them about your joys while they display happiness, understanding and support, rather than proving they're the ones who are superior.
3] They don't form judgments about you based on your financial status and physical appearance. They're more concerned about your faith/Imaan and well-being as a Muslim than measuring your worth in relation to material things.
4] Gossiping or talking trash about others is something they're not into.
Why discuss a Muslim's errors and personal issues when you too aren't 100% perfect? Do you aspire to be a journalist someday who's deluded by gossip?
5] They refrain from uttering words which could offend others, as much as possible. Before verbally sharing anything, they ensure their sentences are true, the information is accurate, necessary or beneficial.

📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated that the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever abandons telling lies in support of falsehood, a house will be built for him in the surroundings of Paradise. Whoever abandons arguments even though he is right, a house will be built for him in its middle. Whoever makes his character excellent, a house will be built for him in its highest part."
