Self-criticism is a manly trait that will ultimately undermine your self-worth
There is an utterly false mythology about self-criticism among men. Many of us have been led to believe that being a harsh self-critic makes us strong, provides motivation, boosts self-esteem and protects us from immature and selfish behavior. In short, it makes us more manly. But like many so-called “manly” traits, the self-perception produced by your inner critic is delusional, arising from an ego too fragile to undertake rigorous self-assessment. But we’re men, we can take it, right? Okay, let’s get real.
