"When someone feels insecure and their friend or partner comes to their rescue to build them back up, this is seen as a supportive action. However, this is anything but supportive and is instead enabling the insecurity to continue; this type of support is shallow and lacks depth--it is a type of flattery. True support does not enable the insecurity, it does not get defensive and angry, and it certianly does not panic and run away; rather it lovingly asks questions of the one who is feeling insecure to find, and then neutralize the fear, through forgiveness and emotional releasing. Being emotionally supportive is far from flattery, it compassionately assists the insecure person to deal with their pain instead of avoiding it." ~Nathan Martin & Aline Van Meer
