A lot of young men aren’t being themselves anymore... They’re performing.

In this episode of Failures, Rich and Justin break down the performative male problem. The quiet identity crisis where men shape-shift personalities, opinions, and behaviors just to be liked, accepted, or validated.

From being the “smartest guy in the room,” to the loud overcompensator, to the guy who tries too hard to impress women, this episode explores how approval-seeking slowly destroys confidence, respect, and self-identity.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted pretending to be someone you’re not, this episode is for you.
