7 Insecurities Men Don't Want Women To Know

Author Sheri Ragland while researching about the story of her husband’s life and struggles with his insecurities sent a comprehensive survey to over 5,000 men between ages 18-25 to know what other men struggled with. Through her research, she discovered the top seven insecurities that men don’t want women to know about-

1. Negative Thoughts

Negative thoughts can lead to poor communication and aggression in a relationship.

If you're dwelling on negative thinking, it's a sign that you need to change your thinking. You need to address the issues of your past and deal with them to have a healthy relationship.

2. Lack of Open-Mindedness

In relationships, you're not willing to listen or embrace your partner's way of thinking. You're acting on pride or ego, and it's a form of control that pushes your partner away.

3. Manhood

"Don't be afraid to talk about your innermost thoughts with your partner." Men and women need to share thoughts in order to promote equality and respect.

4. Pride

Work on open communication with your partner, sharing in decision making, and giving up the need to be right.

5. Low Self-esteem

Many men with low self-worth don't realize it. It's often due to how you were raised. If you don't value yourself, you won't value your partner.

6. Making Less Than Your Partner

Recognize if there's financial tension in your relationship, and discuss finances openly with your partner.

7. Performance issues

Sex is not just about erections and the ability to perform. It's about intimacy and connection as well. Talk about it.

Our environment influences so much. You learn thoughts and interpret them according to your environment: how your mother and father treated you, your culture, whether you had two loving parents, etc. Around age 16, I realised that I am a very confident person but when it came to friends/girlfriends, I was insecure and consumed by fear and negative thoughts. I broke up with the only girl that came close to being 'the one' or maybe she was the one. But I would never know that now. For you all out there, work on these 7, talk about it. And you'll be good to go.
