    It would be very delicate but I believe it can be done. Two insecure people are likely to see qualities in each other that their partner doesn't see in themselves, so they could compliment each other in that way and thus build up each other's confidence.

    ummm insecurity can be hard to deal with
    as my ex step mom said only one person is allowed to be crazy at one time
    I'm not calling insecurity crazy, I'm just saying one person needs to be stronger in the other in my book to balance things out

    They can but not without a lot of work and probably counseling.

    They'd probably be more comforted in finding a kindred spirit but on the other hand, if neither of them is stable, then they can't really be the example or "rock" for the other. It's like trying to prevent a tornado from tearing everything up by putting another tornado in its path - just creates more destruction.

    I would have both partners work on their individual insecurities and fears before engaging in a healthy full-on relationship. Insecurities breed doubts and anxiety when couples are separated and even when they're together. Too emotional people can butt heads and cause words to be said that can never be taken back. I think counseling and a commitment to working on individual and couple issues is paramount to keeping a relationship like this, healthy and flourishing.

    If they are both real to each other, than Yes they can. I know couples that started out that way. They took it slow. Started out as just friends. Let that friendship grow. People said they would Never Last but this year is their 32nd year together and they have been Married for 28 years they are happier than ever and love each other as much as to people can. By the way most of the people who said they would last back then are Divorced and re- married now. I keep talking to them. Telling them to go slow. To this day we are the best of Friends. So yes if they become friends then lovers .

    At best, perhaps a co-dependent one with the illusion of a strong foundation.
