Shamsudin Hakim explains how unresolved childhood wounds keep men stuck in shallow relationships. A formative event early in life can distort how you see yourself and other men, trapping you in patterns like being friend-zoned. Until you face these hidden injuries, you'll keep chasing surface-level connections.
On the surface, that sounds like delusion, hypocrisy, shallow. But underneath, there's a reason he dates from the surface. Because going deeper means going back to a place he's been running from since childhood. Something happened to him as a boy that changed how he sees men, how he sees himself, and how he shows up in relationships. Until he faces it, he'll keep getting friend-zoned. Keep chasing surface, keep building invisible prisons he doesn't even know he's in. Week 3 isn't about blaming men.
