Re-writing The Narrative: Confronting The 50 Lies Men Tell Themselves

Self-deception is a psychological phenomenon that can deeply influence how men perceive themselves and their circumstances. It involves the process of convincing oneself of a truth or reality that is not aligned with actual facts, often to avoid discomfort or maintain a certain self-image. Understanding self-deception requires recognizing its roots in our emotional responses and cognitive biases. Men, in particular, may find themselves engaging in self-deceptive behaviors as a way to cope with societal pressures, personal failures, or vulnerabilities. By exploring the mechanisms behind self-deception, men can begin to unravel the narratives they tell themselves that may hinder their growth and well-being.
