Why Asking for Help Feels Like Failure to Men

In this episode of All In, the hosts explore the topic of being too scared to ask for help when faced with adult responsibilities and home projects.

Whether you're a young man, a young dad, or just curious about the anxiety of feeling like you should know how to fix things (even though no one ever taught you), this conversation will help you realize it's okay to try new things and not know what you're doing and allow yourself to be weak and ask for help.

What You’ll Hear:

  • The hosts confessing that they have no idea what they're doing as handymen and adults, detailing failures like spending six days on garage shelves that collapsed and the crippling, two-month fear of using a grill that took 10 hours to assemble.
  • Why simple tasks necessitate constant trips to the hardware store (requiring a minimum of "at least five times" for one project), and the shame of ignoring essential maintenance, such as the host who was too embarrassed to admit he replaced his own car struts, leading to completely bald tires.
  • The intense pressure on new fathers to be providers, and the surprising link between struggling to build a bookshelf and the terrifying reality of being left alone with a newborn, realizing suddenly, "I don't know what to do".
