Middle Eastern men and weaknesses

Middle Eastern men and dealing with weaknesses


The Middle Eastern men hide their weaknesses by raising the voice, blaming others for their incompetence, claiming past victories, ignoring the subject, getting angry, harassing people of lesser status or power.


These mannerisms does exist in all human negative behavior towards failure or a weakness, but it is more observed in the Middle Eastern culture.


Since weakness feature is not acceptable the best way to hide one’s weakness is to become loud, as a sign of forcefulness, others will retreat once faced with unnecessary loudness, to avoid confrontations or to avoid a well known maniac, in result, that person’s self esteem grows and thinks that overcoming his weakness by being loud was achieved. Or if that person has some insight, understands the results of such action and uses it in future situation to hide his flaws.


Weakness is not tolerated for the male in the Middle Eastern society, it falls out of the image boundaries. A male who conveys signs of weakness is not respected by his colleagues, friends or family. Therefore a male will find alternative ways to hide his weaknesses or insecurities; and sometimes fails to understand that strong characters don't need unnecessary forceful approaches to impose themselves
