<< review queue entry 67111 >> added alternative English synonym ----------------------------- Editor: I think your proposal is problematic. 1) "insecure" has various senses, and most of them are quite wrong as a definition of 自卑. insecure investment, insecure door, insecure marriage -- 自卑 is none of those senses. 2) Even in its most relevant sense (anxious and lacking in confidence), "insecure" is a distinct concept from 自卑, even though it's a correlated one. Consider this example: "High turnover makes remaining employees feel uncertain and insecure." Such employees may have high self-esteem even though they feel insecure about their job. |
