Authentic Masculinity

Stop Defending Yourself: Why Hard Feedback Is the Advantage Men Keep Refusing

16 Dec 2025

Description

A man who can't be pushed on is a dangerous man. Not dangerous in the way you'd hope—formidable, unshakeable—but dangerous in the way that stunts growth and poisons every relationship around him.When criticism lands, your instincts betray you. The defensive flinch dismisses everything. The people-pleasing collapse accepts everything. Both keep you exactly where you are, and both dishonor the person who risked awkwardness to tell you hard truth.That person offered something precious: an opportunity for growth that self-reflection alone can never provide. Their courage deserves more than your knee-jerk reaction. It deserves a process.This episode reveals a practical framework for transforming feedback from threat into gift, helping you distinguish valid insight from misunderstanding while honoring what both contain.Visit sethtroutt.com for more insights on authentic masculinity that welcomes challenge as the pathway to maturity.
