YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMost men think they’re “too sensitive” or “too reactive.”
They’re not.
They’re defending an identity that was built under pressure.
In this episode of The Evolved Caveman, Dr. John Schinnerer breaks down the truth behind what looks like narcissism, and why it’s actually something deeper: defensive egocentrism.
If you:
-Take criticism personally
-Struggle to admit when you're wrong
-Feel disrespected easily
-Constantly feel the need to prove yourself
This isn’t about ego… it’s about fragile self-worth shaped by the man box.
Watch "You're Not Selfish. You're Defending An Image" to understand what’s really driving your reactions, and how to start leading yourself differently.
👉 Follow for more tools on emotional mastery, resilience, and grounded leadership.
