Men Experience Much More Self-Doubt Than Women Realize

Most men appear confident and strong on the outside. That’s the tip of the iceberg that you see every day. But what’s hiding beneath the surface is self-doubt and insecurity. And the scope of that self-doubt is much bigger than we women realize. A man wants to be good at what he does—to be a good husband or father, for example—and he longs to know that you think he’s good at what he does. So feeling like you admire and appreciate him is like oxygen to a man. At the same time, because of this deep self-doubt, a man’s most private—and painful—question is: “Am I any good as a husband, a father, a businessman? Am I adequate? Do I measure up?” And every day, he’s looking to the woman in his life for clues in answering that question.

This self-doubt is your husband’s secret vulnerability. It’s like a painful, raw nerve. And you—the most important person in his life—can hit that nerve without even realizing you’re doing it. You can deeply hurt the man in your life without ever intending to.
