Do they? As far as simply pretending to be something else than you are goes, I guess both girls and boys equal each other. It's just for girls the center of pretense usually seems to be different than for guys.
But basically, whenever you put on a show I'd put it down to insecurity as well. I mean most people are insecure about themselves, everyone feels vulnerable. So we hide, with the not so nice result that somehow we always run around scared to be found out.
I really have no idea either why one feels like one is not enough in some respect. I never felt like that when I was a small kid, so it has to be something you learn from others later on.
