I believe we can all read English. But it's one thing to read it and another thing to speak it appropriately. Check out the meaning of the word "insecure". That was a hard stone thrown. If you were trying to help, that simple term just turned ur help to trouble. Lamour has been of great support to all of us. I think that was expensive. And if all of us saw something wrong with it, we can't be all crazy at the same time now, can we? Just be wiser in your choice of words when addressing others. Calling a grown adult you don't know, insecure, is the guaranteed way for them reacting to you, even if you mean no harm. Hope you get our point and like you said, we can pass this episode. Enjoy the weekend everyone.
I really don't want to go into responding to posts here seeing that it would be very childish and may seem out of place on a thread that is meant to help people and where everyone is like a family , however I will respond just this once . Like you rightly said , understanding English is something else, and in any case I said she had a felt insecure and that is a feeling of something , not that she is insecure as this two mean entirely different things however, this is how the dictionary defines the word 'insecure' that you and pointed out:
insecure
[in-si-kyoo r]
Spell Syllables
Synonyms Examples Word Origin
adjective
1.
subject to fears, doubts, etc.; not self-confident or assured:

He was insecure about the examination.
3.
not secure; exposed or liable to risk, loss, or danger:
an insecure stock portfolio.
4.

From the definition, it is obvious that the word wasn't out of place because she felt uneasy, not certain or confident with who I was, she had doubts e.t.c. and for the word unfortunate it means in the context obviously mean sadly or unhappily.
