This video moved me and I wanted to share it. While the merits and methods of RSD are often debated on this forum, I think Owen talks about some issues here that hold a lot of men (including myself) back - namely, insecurities.
What is your deepest insecurity? Lack of money or professional success? A weird accent? Being fat? Bald? Short? Old? What would happen if you approached a girl and she immediately rejected you because of your primary insecurity - and told you to your face?
If you said you would cry (or some other extreme butthurt reaction), you're not accepting your own imperfections. Owen talks about Julian mocking his baldspot and shortness to girls while he's trying to pick them up. How would you react if your wing did that to you? Your reaction says a lot about your level of self acceptance.
I believe our demons are only as strong as their secretiveness. I respect Owen for coming out and saying exactly what his insecurities are in front of hundreds of people. In doing that, he makes them far less powerful. Have you admitted your insecurities to yourself or even people close to you? I believe that's the first step.
