I didn't let anyone push me into things I didn't want to do where my career was concerned. So why did I crumble when it came to men?
Men weren't always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.
If I fell into one relationship after another with men who were either emotionally tuned out and unavailable or hotheaded and controlling, or both, it was because I was lacking in good sense about men.
Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.
As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition too.
Most men have an insecurity of some sort. But we're brought up to believe that we can't show them.

All my other relationships with men, there was so much maneuvering and strategic decisions and stuff.
I didn't have a choice growing up but to be more insecure because others had more.
