The 10 Walls Between Men and Greatness
Manage episode 480216439 series 3000618
Aaron Thomas explores ten barriers preventing men from reaching their full potential as open, vulnerable individuals who inspire those around them.
• Societal expectations around traditional masculinity discourage emotional expression
• Workplace stress puts pressure on men to prioritize work over family and personal wellbeing
• Relationship issues stem from difficulty expressing emotions and needs
• Financial pressure ties economic stability to self-worth causing unnecessary stress
• Health concerns go unaddressed as men delay seeking medical help
• Substance abuse serves as unhealthy coping mechanisms for emotional pain
• Loneliness and isolation result from limited support networks
• Mental health stigma prevents men from seeking necessary help
• Burnout occurs from constant overworking and seeking titles/awards
• Trauma and PTSD remain unprocessed due to societal pressure
