Systematize psychological fears."},"content":{"rendered":"

Complexes interfere with the life of a huge number of people. What is a complex? It is an agonizing worry about a person's \"weak spot\", something he is not sure about. Achilles had a heel, about which he did not really care much, and in some Vasya such a \"heel\" will be his small stature, worries about which will prevent him from achieving some goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Whether it's silly or not, every man has something to worry about. Let's take a look at 12 of the most common male complexes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boss complex.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It manifests itself in the fear (subconscious and conscious) of being in a subordinate position. A significant contribution to the formation of this complex is made by relatives and friends (however, as always), indoctrinating the boy that he must be strong, a \"real man\" who must lead the others. Again, \"men do not cry\", to show their emotions, feelings, experiences - it is \"womanish\", you can not be like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Family and friends make a significant contribution to the formation of this complex<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, a boy, growing up, does everything to meet the \"ideal\" in his head, and if his wife has a higher position or salary, it will severely hurt his self-esteem, he will suffer because of the discrepancy between the image of the ideal self, living in his imagination, and reality. This is such a complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midlife crisis. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It used to be around 40, but now it's getting younger - more and more 30-something and even 25-year-old men are worried about the lack of achievement. It is the lack of results that hurts the most, and men even more so. A man grew up, grew up, went out to the people, a lot of years have passed, and, by and large, nothing has not been done. Hence the worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Major worries about lack of achievement<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"Nothing has been done,\" even if a lot has been done - meaning that one has not realized the natural potential for the benefit of others. He has not given of himself. The equilibrium of the take-give balance is very important for a person. A skew to one or another side leads to inner disharmony. Okay, this is the subject of another article, and we have voiced the second male complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sexual impotence complex.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All grown-up boys are afraid of this \"babaika\". Suddenly that in bed will not work out - even if they do not laugh, they will look heartily, with pity, from which the man will be very uncomfortable. And \"thanks\" to the sensitive psyche of representatives of the stronger sex there and not far to the complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small manhood complex. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another male weakness. I mean, doubts are always nagging about the length and\/or thickness of the causal space. After all, as Rammstein sing - size does matter after all. Worries about the size does matter after all can take you far - for example, to the psychologist's office (this is in the best, ideal, and therefore very rare case), communication with whom will help to get rid of the complex. In other cases, men, tormented by worries about insufficient (from their point of view) size, may even decide to undergo surgery to enlarge their dignity - a very dubious method, it must be said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I'd rather see a psychologist.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"Napoleon's<\/span>Napoleon Complex.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once again, the fear of small size. As you can guess, the complex named after the legendary (albeit stunted) French commander is subject to men of small stature. Wanting to compensate for this physical feature, giving them a lot of anxiety, such men often reach career heights. Tom Cruise stands before my eyes like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don Juan complex.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

It consists of a man's fear of being abandoned by a woman.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"Don Juan\" is sure that this is only his prerogative, but certainly not his beautiful half. Obeying this strange attitude, the man terminates the relationship, even if nothing, as they say, did not foreshadow. The result: unhappy woman, unhappy him. And so it repeats itself many, many times. It becomes a way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lot's Complex.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fear inherent in fathers of young daughters. A man subconsciously perceives guys in love with his daughter as rivals. Behind this is the fear of becoming unnecessary daughter. And suffers here not only the man, but also his \"blood\" - especially if she has no personal life. With such a father it will not be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hercules Complex.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Strange as it may seem, the fear of having to do \"women's\" work is connected with the name of this character. Simply Hercules once had a difficult period in his life - being a prisoner of the queen of the Amazons, he was forced to do women's work. Thus, many men, for various reasons forced to do women's work, feel dissatisfaction about it, which, in turn, leads to family conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David's complex. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Risk group: aging men - those who, along with the gray in the beard, and the devil in the rib.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Stubbornly unwilling to grow old, \"Davids\", who are wildly frightened by the word \"grandfather\", which is quite applicable to them, rush into the arms of young women. They just want to return to their youth, to feel their strength, to regain their inner state, expressed by the words \"everything is just beginning\". A method that has been proven not even for centuries, but for millennia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don Quixote complex. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A man, like the literary hero after whom this complex is named, is looking for an ideal. Sometimes he even finds one. But everything is not the same - sooner or later he is disappointed and goes to look for a new ideal woman. Actually, this is the point - not to find and live with pleasure, but to search, fight, do not give up (as it is right). Dissatisfaction with the search leads to worries, constant worries lead to a complex. Complex, if there is one, it is better to take to a psychologist, who will help to sort out the causes of its appearance, as a result of which the worries will go away on their own. Life will become a little more pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Othello complex.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Othello's<\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

As you can guess, it's jealousy. Pathological. A man is not confident in his woman (and if you dig, he is not confident in himself). Subconsciously, such an otello is very afraid that the lady of his heart is cheating on him. The thought that he may find himself deceived cuckolded is intolerable for him. Hence the total control and endless nagging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexander Complex. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Homophobes are men who despise people of non-traditional orientation (male). If you call such a fellow \"gay\", he will get wildly angry, offended, and there is no telling how it will end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

What is remarkable is that such overly masculine males are, deep down, latent homosexuals capable of doing things they themselves despise.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This has been proven as far back as Freud. 21% men have such inclinations, and about 30% - even experience, acquired most often by youth. The complex is named in honor of Alexander the Great - the great general belongs to the described group of men. Whether he barked himself for a forbidden desire is unknown, but he allowed himself to satisfy it - also, being a young man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complexes take a lot of energy and prevent the joy of life. Men who have, as already mentioned, sensitive psyche, it is doubly difficult, because they have to constantly justify the expectations placed on him, to prove that he is a hero. This in itself puts pressure on him, and if he is also complex about something ... He can only sympathize. But you don't want to put up with it all your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if a man has at least one of the complexes listed above (and not listed too), it is hardly worth it to continue to torment themselves and others - it is better to consult a psychologist who, without disclosing the secret, will help to cope with the interfering experiences. Working with him, the client will gradually unravel a complex tangle of contradictions that entangled him, will understand the causes of fears that have developed into complexes, just understanding this will free him from the psychological burden. The result of the work - happiness. It is worth it. Options for interaction may vary: \"live\" consultation of a psychologist, online consultation, communication with a specialist on Skype. You just need to choose the most appropriate way, and help yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
