Julissa explains why men self-deprecate around women they like: it triggers a fixer response and creates trauma-bonding. Her advice: don't rescue him with reassurance. Let him sit with it.

Are givers.
Yeah. So someone. If a man is like being self deprecating, let him. Oh my God. I'm. I'm not really good at those things.
Don't be like, oh no, you are. Don't say that. Don't give him any of that. Oh, okay.
