Many times Desmond Howard feels that he does not have "enough" to make him feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) he has!
Howard is generally not a "joiner" and he does not feel comfortable in clubs, organizations or other groups of people that are centered on some common ideal or interest.
