Actively Giving Up: How Men Avoid the Uncomfortable

When things are hard or uncomfortable many men will give up but in an active way. They don’t just quit, but they focus on other areas of their life to avoid the hard areas. This happens especially when men feel confused or insecure.

We talk through what actively giving up looks like and some main ways men change their focus.

  • Actively Giving Up
  • Busyness
  • Escapism
  • Truth
  • Challenge
  • What areas of your life are you avoiding?
  • Pick one area to lean into and not avoid and start working on getting better in that one area.
