Hi everyone
I found this forum a couple of days ago because I googled the term "self worth forum" and it showed up among the search results.
So guess that that alone sort of tells a little about why I joined the place. One thing I particularlly struggle with is admitting weakness to myself and accepting it within myself. I think it's something I have in common with a whole lot of other men, and I believe it's crucial to feeling a sense of worth that I learn to accept that I'm not always a ******* superman and embrace myself and feel good enough inspite of feeling weakness.
I wanted to join a forum because I think it's important to have someone to talk to about these things and although I have lots of great people in my life I don't always feel comfortable sharing my weaknesses and insecurities with them, and it seems that this forum is filled with great people with a large capacity for empathy.
I also wanted to add that I do feel that I have a lot of things going for me, so I don't think of my life as being completely hopeless. I have practiced being grateful kept a journal earlier where i would write about qualities within me that I appreciate and consider assets. So taking action towards improving my sense of self esteem and self worth (i'm not really sure if there's a difference as I'm not a native english speaker) is not something I am unfamiliar with and I will start keeping a journal again. I've always missed sonnecting with others interested in these topics, and that's why I am here.
I came up with the handle "mancaughtweak" because of mental image I had while thinking of how it is important to admit to feeling weakness. Although I consider self esteem and worth important issues to address, I can't help but to alse see the comedic aspect in how strongly so many men including myself feel the need to not be perceived as weak. Therefore at some point I imagined the headline of a newspaper saying something along the lines of "Man Caught Showing Weakness - Breaking News!!!" as if the feeling of weakness in men was some big new discovery. So the handle comes from that mental image.
Talk to you all soon.
