I used the webapp version to browse, never registered. I find seeing photos of others, makes me jealous and self conscious, not saying bad about myself, just that I feel jealous of what features others have. Not healthy mindset for sure. I like it, more conversation focused, not "look what I have". Congrats to mastodon for being better community wise over fb or twitter.

I get what you mean, sometimes words don't make sense to me either. According to etymonline the word secure comes from Latin securus. se- meaning "free from" and cura meaning "care." It originally meant "without care or fear, quiet, easy" or "careless, reckless, overconfident."

So I guess we can understand "insecure" as meaning "fearful, disquiet, uneasy." Or maybe "cares too much, underconfident."
