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 often overlaps 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).
