Are most if not all of our actions coping mechanisms?

Coping mechanisms to deal with insecurity. From breathing and eating (to deal with the insecurity of suffocation and hunger) to our social behaviours (to deal with the insecurity of other people). if people aren't made to be under our control through coping mechanisms, then they're a threat to us. I already know that the reason I'm interested in this subject is because I want to better understand human motivation and thereby make myself more secure. therefore, my interest in psychology is a coping mechanism, right?
