What is behind male insults?
Low self-esteem. A man who is confident in himself does not feel the need to humiliate others. On the contrary, someone who feels like a loser himself looks for ways to belittle others in order to rise a little.
Problems in life. Unfulfilled, financial difficulties, lack of respect in society or family. Such a man often feels that fate has shortchanged him, and looks for someone to "let off steam" on.
Fear of a strong woman. A woman who knows her worth often makes an insecure man feel uncomfortable. He tries to regain "control" through insults and manipulation.
Projections of the past. Perhaps there was a woman in his life (mother, former lover) who hurt him. And now he takes revenge on all women, not realizing that he is not fighting real people, but his own demons.
How to recognize a man "humiliated by fate"?
Constantly criticizes. It doesn't matter what you did - everything is wrong. From appearance to career.
Uses sarcasm and passive aggression. Especially in a company, to "show himself" against you.
Does not admit his mistakes. All problems are because of you, the world, the government, but not because of him.
Likes to discuss "bad" women. In his stories, exes are always "hysterical", colleagues are "stupid", and passers-by are "tastelessly dressed".
How not to succumb to insults?
Don't take it personally. His words speak about him, not about you. Limit communication. The less toxicity in your life, the better your emotional state. Don't try to "fix" it. You are not a therapist, but a woman worthy of respect. Work on your self-confidence. The higher your self-esteem, the less impact other people's words have. A happy man blossoms next to a woman, not fades. He inspires, supports and cares. If someone insults and humiliates instead, it means that his own world is collapsing, and he is trying to bury someone else under the rubble. Don't let other people's grievances become part of your life. You deserve better! Maria.
