Why do so many men lack self-confidence?

[Raphaello]

Is it women surpassing men in terms of education, income and social status? A lack a sense of purpose in modern society? Lack of parental figures?

shyts frustrating cuz I got boys starting to cry about the same shyt y'all cry about on here (some bird on Twitter, Instagram, etc.). I just don't understand the lack of self-respect young men have.

Gen x. Can’t even buy a home cuz of them fuks.

Too many kids are predominantly being raised by their mothers with the only interaction with their fathers being transactionary.

Culture in today's society is also trash as hell regarding flossing. Flossing has always existed, but with social media it's more apparent than ever. Most nikkas ain't got it like that. But when a girl say she don't fukk with broke nikkas (even though we know they lying), I guess it can mess with your mind.

Edit: Changed reaction to interaction

Who’s raising these “men”?

Social media

They hate themselves, and it’s not just young people neither

Some internet shyt mostly.

But normal for young people to go through normal growing pains and develop into adults. Part of that is getting comfortable and confident in who you are as an individual.

Cause a lot of us(them) didn't receive any kind of emotional support. We are just supposed to suck it up, don't show any love or compassion. I look at alot of dudes in my family and the times we had to go to a funeral. They weren't even crying and it made my mind go in circles.

Even on here, a brotha may create a thread and people call dude "soft". Ish is crazy to me

Tried to tell you. This culture is programming everyone to be victims of everything and everybody. How can young men be confident when they are looking for ways to make themselves look like victims. Because thats what goes over better in this climate?

Too much internet giving them a sense of worthlessness, and no real relationship with the one true and living G-d.

Social media, being an average woman on the internet world >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> being an average man on the internet world.

 

[Shadow King]

This is going to be attempted to be passed as a general theory but this is about male-female relations.

Young girls are taught not to value men as they get older. Give as little validation or acknowledgement as possible. Despite the bravado, opposite sex validation shapes male ego.

Why do you think some men thrive through social media/internet but others lose their sense of self worth? How can we get the latter to be like the former?

 

[MikelArteta]

the internet, social media, media consumption, basing your self worth on if you have a girl or if women are into you.

its easy to feel like a "failure" because you don't have a six figure job, brand new whip, women all over you.

One of the main problems I see amongst us. Every faucet in their life that isn’t 10/10 is their downfall. Prioritizing what they aren’t instead of what they are
