The Game of Insecurity
Many men have insecurities in early dating, such as feeling inadequate compared to past boyfriends or worrying about being boring. This leads to a fear of showing too much interest, as they believe it will make them less desirable. The pressure to play games and maintain mystery can hinder genuine connections. However, vulnerability and honesty can break this cycle, as it allows people to see that insecurities are universal and brings them closer together. By rewarding kindness and bravery, rather than playing games, we can foster healthier relationships.
Redirecting Energy to Kindness and Bravery
The key to success in love is to follow and embody kindness and bravery. When someone responds with kindness and bravery, it is an opportunity to build a stronger connection. However, when kindness and bravery are not reciprocated, it serves as a signal to redirect one's energy towards relationships that prioritize those qualities. By following the path of kindness and bravery and avoiding the game-playing mentality, individuals can cultivate more fulfilling relationships.
So this wasn’t the video we’d planned to release this week . . .
But an online conversation turned into something so unexpected that we scrapped the original plan and recorded something new, because I couldn’t wait to talk about it.
The video this week is all about bravery and kindness, and my goal is that by the end of it, you will understand and be able to relate to men a little better.
Your coach,
