i guess you meant band aid instead of bandit, but i get where you are coming from.
but is it really that important to really understand your insecurities if the result of losing them could be from understanding and erasing them or just over compensating with something else that makes you more confident ? if the end result is somebody that is "somehow" confident and able to live his life without trouble i would argue it does not matter. many things are even to complex to comprehend for simple people, so should they never be allowed to feel good about them selves just because they do not have the mental capacity to grasp where their insecurities and flaws stem from ?
i think the society kind of needs all kinds of people and if some people are happy to be in the gym 24/7, good for them. better they got something to stay busy than to get bad ideas and do some criminal stuff. you know simple people are just too feeble to be left alone with their own thoughts, so keeping them busy with something is better for them. that just reminds me of the goal keeper of a former team i played for that needed to go to jail because this simple minded guy had an idea like "ha ha, i will outsmart everybody with this master plan doing tricks on ebay". he should have rather gone to the gym instead making funny theories about a smart (criminal) master plan.
