I don't understand the question but to be honest I'm not at the top of a game I'm quite sick right now. We Mirror the feelings of men?

I suppose I'm very empathetic. I certainly can feel when my man is sad or happy lonely or hurting when he's feeling down or enthusiastic.

However if you mean if I believe the negative thoughts that he might feel about himself to be true then no I try to encourage a man I always try to find the good in him and if I do see something that he can improve I let him know and try to encourage him.

I'm sorry if I seem a little repetitive.

I think it is lovely when a man knows his strengths and he builds on them. I always do my best to learn about a man's hobbies and his interest so I can participate in what he likes. I don't know if I'm answering this question correctly but I'm trying.

@KrakenAttackin thanks hun 🤗 for the MHO

[genuinlysensitive]

Yea women always say this but do the opposite

[meetkitty123]

@genuinlysensitive thats cuz you never came across a woman like me if you fellow me at all you'd eat your words in a heartbeat

[meetkitty123]

there's plenty of good women just as there are plenty of good men but then there are those toxic types that ruin it for us good men and women and give us a bad name

[genuinlysensitive]

Lol yea bullshit

I don’t think this is necessarily true. I know I’ve thought the world of men who didn’t think much of themselves. On the other hand, I’ve thought less of men who thought they were gods gift to the earth.

To a point.

you might be saying the same thing but using different words.

this is how I expressed what I think you’re trying to say:

”your partner mirrors your true self”.

in that we are reflected in our partners. If we see something that we don’t like it’s not necessarily our partner’s fault, we might just be seeing an accurate reflection of ourselves and we just don’t want to admit it.

and that’s one reason why when we get into another relationship that we see some of the same issues or problems all over again because it’s us…not them.

this was hard for me to accept at first. I’m not saying it’s true for everyone.

Just…consider it. Humility helps.

it saved my marriage.

👍👍👍

[hahahmm]

Sure. But it doesn't mean the feelings she expresses are real. For example if you act like you're the best leader but she doesn't believe it she could still pretend/show you what you want to see while secretly laughing at you.

[KrakenAttackin]

I think the context is a woman mirrors a man in both good and bad. If a man is happy and strong, she will be happy toward him. If a man is depressed and self-hating, she will act in a hating way toward him.

[hahahmm]

@KrakenAttackin Maybe most of the time... I'd say basically women resent dudes who don't act traditional. And a depressed dude isn't a traditional thing. But I have also heard research that women are unhappy when their man is happy & happiest when he's unhappy. Maybe that applies more to modern women. Explains why most women are miserable compared to men.

[KrakenAttackin]

@hahahmm. Good point.

I agree, it all comes down to how you communicate and connect with eachother. Very easy to pick up on feelings your partner is is feeling or thinking. What breaks that relationship down is no communicate based around it, if you shut down and don't talk about anything this is where things go sour.

[msc545]

I think it is more likely that they assess your weaknesses and save them up to use against you.

[KrakenAttackin]

@msc545... than there is that...

[Avicenna]

There is probably some truth to that, at least in some circumstances

[worldscolide]

To some extent I agree. My wife is definitely a mirror for how I'm feeling some times.

[Jamie05rhs]

If it's a mirror, then it's a convex one. Because they always blow things out of proportion.
If we're confident, she thinks we're conceited.
If we're humble, she thinks we're insecure.

[Juxtapose]

My last girlfriend had a lot more confusion and ignorance about myself than I have ever will, no offense to her just being brutally honest.

[MrJMM]

Only women that mirror feeling will do that, not all women do that.

[007kingifrit]

maybe for confidence specifically not all emotions? no

[EarthRealm]

They use mirroring as a manipulation tactic
