"Well... My problem is, I've always tried to be... the best. Ever since Aalis died, I've always wanted to be like her. I strived to be perfect, and I was! But I became perfect in the wrong ways. I became extremely skilled in fighting, and agility. I even became a thief and lived a life of crime. But I understood the wrong stuff. I acted like a jerk to everyone around me. I'm not perfect. I'm admitting it. I just pushed myself to be it."

Heroes who either aren't sure, comfortable or confident in themselves or in situations. This can range from thinking they're monsters to believing they don't have what it takes to accomplish their goals. They are really similar to tragic heroes and very often overlap with self-hating heroes but the defining characteristic of an insecure hero is that they are lying in many ways both to themselves and others i.e. they have a bad habit of saying things that they don't actually believe, especially about themselves, although they themselves often aren't even aware of this.
