Many people mistakenly confuse “bullshit radar” with a “fragile male ego” and lack of self-confidence

Many people mistakenly confuse “bullshit radar” with a “fragile male ego” and lack of self-confidence.

I recognize that there are aspects of unjustified and toxic self-doubt and this is not normal and needs to be addressed.

But self-doubt can also be completely justified.

Self-confidence and self-doubt are largely the result of positive and negative feedback, whether someone likes it or not.

And that is why self-doubt can sometimes be very useful, because a person who has it could simply have received an excess of negative experience in something and because of this he is preparing for the worst.

Is it justified for them to behave toxically? No! But it is also wrong to call them insecure and possessors of a "fragile male ego". After all, they are simply trying to protect themselves.

Here is an example of a situation with justified self-doubt

Is this story false? Most likely yes, but as an example everything is fine.

Does a man in this situation have every reason to be insecure and jealous, or will you say no?
