Everything bothers him and he takes the most negative interpretation of everything someone says or does.
They criticize others frequently. They also like to promote themselves and their lives and make others seem like less compared to him. He might not be aware of this and that adds to the insecurity

He criticizes EVERYTHING! he can’t walk into a room without making a comparison. Most of what he says is judgement based. He’s overly assertive. Never relaxed. Attention seeking.
The less aggressive types are shy, withdrawn. Ask for validation, have trouble making their own decisions. Tend to go with what everyone else wants. -
Having self image ptoblems, particularily having to control what others think of him.
Hypersexualizing men, men that boast their own masculinity to absurd levels.
Having problems with rank, status, or wealth, issues that invalidate his authority.
Being immoving in belief and thought. Having to remain stagnant on a belief due to the emotional investments put into it.
Generally its just being controlling of others. -
lol that can manifest itself in a lot of ways. The funny thing is guys are sent the double message by women. Read some of comments of the women on this thread and they call a guy insecure for being timid. But then they call him insecure for being aggressive. It's funny i read your back and forth with @CirclGetsTheSquare. I'm guessing you've got damage from past relationships. Well guys are no different. You don't want to be hurt well guess what neither does he. I've been setup by a lot of women in my lifetime. And each time one gets close to me i have to ask myself what's her angle? what game is she playing? Because in my history they all have. Time is the only thing that's going to tell him you're for real. Only thing you have to decide is he worth that investment and are you willing to wait.

Wanting to always know where you're going, who you're with, what time you'll be where... wants to know how you feel, constantly seeks reassurance of the smallest things i. e. not hearing you say 'I love you' enough. Invites them-self out with you if you're going somewhere and they don't want to be alone...

The biggest indicator is usually when he fails to meet your eyes if you're talking to him or when he's talking to you.
Other men may try and impress you with their words -telling that story about how much he can bench, how fast their car is, etc-. Any time you feel he's saying something to impress you or get a reaction from you can also be a good indicator of insecurity. - 3.3K opinions shared on Dating topic.
Talking about himself all the time, 'one upping' everything you say, bragging about himself, being jealous in his relationships... pretty much the same signs that a woman is insecure.

Dealt with a guy like this.
1. Tries to show off/ tries their hardest to impress you (usually with money or material items because they have nothing better to offer )
2. Negs (a backhanded compliment, insult or insult passed off as joke)
3. Lies to make himself seem more impressive
It shows differently depending on the person. I've met cocky insecure guys and the complete opposite -
