What makes a man worthless

The actions listed below usually leave men feeling quite worthless. A hug, kiss, cuddle, back rub, and even holding your hand are a few of such affectionate actions. When you do not initiate, seem uninterested, or ignore such casual acts of affection, your husband feels used and worthless.

Although most men would prefer the leading role in a relationship, it does not mean dominance. The confidence of men is destroyed if it has to be them initiating all the affectionate gestures, especially if their partners lack effort. Looking at your phone while conversing Such an action while carrying on a conversation with your husband is similar to a slap right in the face.

This action bears the nonverbal message that a woman does not care enough about whatever the man is saying be fully attentive. Today, this is an ever worsening issue in our tech savvy and digitally obsessed society. Digital distractions are not worth making your man feel like such a trivial sideshow. Flirting In marriage, fidelity involves much more than just being!

Fidelity includes not doing anything that shows you are interested in anyone other than your partner, which includes not flirting. A fact that is particularly important to keep in mind when it comes to social media and texting. The problem is that not everyone has this experience and this can cause them to believe that they are worthless and therefore deserve very little, if anything, from life.

This could mean that one displays an exaggerated sense of themselves and this is the result of them going to the other extreme. Perhaps they feel as though they deserve everything in one moment and the next moment, they slump right back into their feeling of being worthless. In some contexts their level of self worth might be normal or even high and in others it could be nonexistent. And for others it might be a general experience that they have. So no matter what it is, they still feel worthless and unable to accept what they truly want and need.

For a long time males were seen as the bread winners and as the people who had most of the power and influence. And as times have changed, females have gained a lot more power and influence. As they were starved of this for so long, this can only be a good thing. So that both genders can be in their power; with neither one feeling worthless or less than the other. Besides, each gender is different and their purpose if not to compare themselves with each other.

For some men, it has been a time of wondering what their identity is and what will give them a sense of self worth and purpose in a world that is changing rapidly. While there is a general experience being had in the world, there is also the experience that some men are having on a more local level. This could be something they tell their friends and family about or it could be what they keep close to themselves.

Other people may notice it if they pay attention, but men are not always comfortable showing how they feel to others. To be man can often mean that one has to cover up how they feel and to pretend to others that they are doing just fine. If their feelings were to be shown, one might be labelled as weak or another derogatory description.

And man may engage in drugs, violence, drink, food or even working out as a way to numb their feelings of being worthless. Depression could ensue and be something they are very familiar with. It would be a lot more functional for them to be dealt with and yet, this is not something that always takes place. If it was more socially acceptable for a man to open up about how they felt and not as taboo, then they would be more inclined would reach out for help.

And as a result of it being acceptable, there would be more solutions widely available for men in this position. A man could find that his low sense of worth is having an impact on every area of his life. From his: relationships, career, finances and health for instance. They did not know the Lord. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.

For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
