I don’t usually take much notice of “popular” new concepts in psychology or recommend videos by relationship experts.
However, it’s not often that a mirror gets held up to my lifetime of relationship failure.
Because that’s what happened when I first discovered the hero instinct. I ended up learning more about myself than I bargained for.
The simple truth is that I’ve been emotionally unavailable to women my whole life. I wrote about this here.
I now realize it’s because the hero instinct was never triggered in me.
My relationships with women involved everything from ‘best friends with benefits’ to being ‘partners in crime’.
In hindsight, I’ve always needed more.
Learning about the hero instinct was my “aha” moment.
For years, I wasn’t able to put a finger on why I would get cold feet, struggle to open up to women, and fully commit to a relationship.
Since I discovered the hero instinct, I’ve written extensively about the hero instinct and other key biological drivers of male behavior on ideapod.com.
