Insecurity in Relationships for Men
November 22, 2023
Welcome back to the channel. Today, I want to discuss men who feel insecure in relationships. This won’t be an extensive exploration but rather a few of my observations about how insecurity damages relationships. Some men are so insecure that they can't express when they feel insecure. Men, there is nothing wrong with feeling insecure in a relationship. The problem arises when you can't recognize your insecurity. If you are emotionally color-blind, it's easy to attribute how you feel to your partner. Blaming your partner or making it about her can provide short-term relief from the anxiety you may be feeling. However, criticizing your woman leads to vaginal dryness and will eventually drive her away in the long run. When one feels insecure, it's easy to believe that the problem lies outside of oneself and is moving toward them rather than recognizing that the insecurity within is impacting the relationship. This way, it can alleviate stress because you don’t have to take responsibility for your behavior. The only thing your insecurity proves is that you feel insecure. It does not confirm that she does not want to be with you, that she is cheating on you, or that you are in a bad relationship. Your insecurity only demonstrates that you feel insecure. If you can acknowledge that you feel insecure, you can then ask for reassurance. This doesn't make you weak; it makes you emotionally competent enough to be in a meaningful relationship. In relationships, insecurity is contagious. If you feel insecure, your woman will feel insecure. Insecurity reflected back to you can trigger a negative feedback loop. It's downhill from there. There you have it, my thoughts on insecurity.
