When a man lacks self-worth and has lived a life of lies and deceit to cover his feelings of inadequacy, he aligns himself with those who are also liars and deceitful, and who use power to manipulate and control others because he feels more comfortable in an environment where deception is the norm.
The use of power in such circles is often a means to keep the truth buried, and to avoid exposure of their own weaknesses.
By aligning with them, he may feel momentarily empowered, as if the false narratives they weave can shield him from the discomfort of facing his own truths.
But this alliance also perpetuates his cycle of self-deception, as he becomes more entangled in a world built on illusions and manipulations, living mostly in a “virtual reality,” and further distancing him from the possibility of genuine self-acceptance, growth, and healthy relationships.
Love, Wendy
