There's a shitty part of my brain that has felt like this, the inner manchild, the rest of my brain is slowly killing it away. Like when someone criticizes your speech or writing, you do feel attacked, its like this personal pain when you realize, oh shit, I was being sexist, or racist or ableist, it hurts because you did not know yourself and have this new disappointment in yourself.

But fuck you, get over it! Shame is such a powerful and destructive motivator that weak people will turn thost bad vibes back on their accuser instead of listening to what they have to say, and growing as a person. Booo!

And that's what I associate that feeling with, growing as a person, which is never not painful. People who identify as men, if you wanna be tough guys, show us you don't dwell on your male fragility like I see way too often. Be wrong, listen and grow.

wonderful thought! I think the same, we need to realize that nobody is 100% congruent or fail-proof. A mistake is a common event in life and how you deal with It that matters...
