23. Masculinity ft. Lance Gee & Eric Wu (Off the Wok)
Manage episode 303175802 series 2986968
2 Asian men get vulnerable with us and share their fears, shames, and insecurities. Lance Gee and Eric Wu from over at Off The Wok discuss losing a job, feeling suicidal, de-sexualization of Asian men, and starting all over from failures. Check out this hilarious episode that takes a turn for a deep dive into the Asian male psyche as Lance and Eric get super vulnerable with us. Content warning: suicide
Highlights:
- Going back to school and restarting a career with a family
- Eric’s fear of water (what?) but he takes showers every day
- Losing your job as the “man” of the family
- Asian male representation in media
- Lance and Eric overcoming the lowest points of their lives
Takeaways:
- The shame comes from comparisons and it ruins us
- Our judgements of others are projections of our own insecurities
- People don’t give a crap, so give a crap about yourself
- Provide non-judgmental support and a safe space for the men in your life
- Everyone’s low point is different but they are all painful and valid
