You can’t respond well to situations you don’t understand
One thing that doesn’t get talked about much: A lot of men don’t actually know what’s going on internally in real time. Not in a deep, abstract way—just practically. Something happens, and you feel: off irritated tense withdrawn But you don’t label it clearly. So what happens? You react based on a vague internal state you haven’t identified. And that usually leads to: saying less than you want saying something misaligned or disengaging entirely It’s not a discipline problem.
