A Question of When | MMC52


Listen Later

In this episode of the Manlihood Mancast, Josh Hatcher talks about the question of WHEN.

It’s really a question of when.

When to be vulnerable / when to be tough.

If you’ve listened to my other podcasts, you know I’m not a fan of the word vulnerable. I prefer authenticity. But that’s another episode, and you can go listen to it yourself.

For the sake of clarity - let’s use the use the word vulnerable.


When should you be vulnerable, and show your weaknesses, and how does that contrast to when you should steel your resolve and show your strength?

I think it’s important to have a trusted circle of people who see and know your struggles and your vulnerabilities. Even men need a friend they can cry with on a very rare occasion. You don’t have to trust EVERYBODY. But you should be working on building the kind of relationships that support your vulnerabilities.  Think about a Danish Shield Wall on the battlefield. They’re all pretty exposed from behind, but they work together to fend off attackers.

Sometimes, you have to suck it up. You have to put the emotion and the weakness on the shelf, and face the battles head on.
