How to Understand Men’s Egos

Understand what the “man’s ego” (in English: male ego) is. Derived from the work of many psychologists and psychotherapists in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the self that can most fundamentally be defined is the self. close. After all, “ego” (me) means “I” (me) in Latin. ^[1] The ego is the part of the mind that is responsible as a “mediator” between the powerful forces and tendencies of the super-ego (our conscience and our ideal self) and our unconscious instincts (the part responsible for meeting our basic needs). The ego operates in reality, and is also responsible for negotiating between our own needs and how to satisfy them in the environment. The ego maintains a relationship with the other parts, in harmony with the tendencies of the unconscious instincts and the super-ego with the outside world. Many psychologists create their own theories of the self based on the idealist interpretation of the self by expert Sigmund Freud. ^[2]

• In other words, the male ego is not only a reflection of the individual selves, but also a cultural definition of masculinity and ideas about how men should think and act. Thus, the identity of men is shaped by social influence. After all, humans are social! ^[3]

Understand that gender roles are constructed with a social character. To understand male egos, it is essential to understand how gender roles develop and function in society. Gender roles shape the way people think and act. Gender roles are a group of beliefs and actions that develop in a given cultural context and are associated with some biological sex (male or female). That role helps to differentiate between the sexes, so men are seen in one direction and women in another. By holding specific gender roles, some individuals function better in their own social contexts, while others may be struggling. ^[4]

• To understand men’s egos, you need to understand how society shapes men’s expectations of themselves. This is important because many men have found ways to cope with certain social needs. In many cases, men don’t realize how society affects them. For example, most men don’t really know how they became sports fans or think that blue, green, and gray are for men while pink and blue are for men. purple is for women.

Learn the basic characteristics of men’s egos that are socially constructed. The male ego is driven by recognition, attention, and action. Men are said to be more proactive by nature, they do important jobs (as politicians, soldiers, scientists, etc.) and they deserve attention. According to this view of the male ego, men are driven by physical strength, sexual orientation, and biological evolution as competitors for women’s attention. women, strive for great achievement and power, and avoid showing affection and weakness. ^{[5] [6]}

• For example, in most of the American community, the typical male role is understood and described in terms of active, active, as opposed to passive terms. Men are brave, strong, competitive, independent, and steadfast (in contrast, women are passive, emotional, weak, and more inclined to conform to society). As another example, men in many Western communities are expected to avoid showing affection. Remember the old saying “Boys don’t cry?” Instead, men are supposed to be courageous and strong in the face of personal challenges, such as loss, grief, and grief. ^{[7] [8]}

Note that not most men are comfortable following the standard rules of their gender. Many men feel conflicted about having to be a certain type of man. For example, what if being a man has no interest in women, even though heterosexuality is still considered the norm in today’s society? Or what about men who like to do nails and beautify their faces, which are considered “feminine” or feminine?

• It is important to find out how each individual man feels and reacts to these societal expectations of how men should be because they will vary from person to person and from case to case. .
