Masculinity

Abdullah said:
At the age of 20, I don't have a beard. Just a few hair on my chin. My skin all over my body also has less hair and I'm only 5 feet 7 inches tall.
Also I get puffy nipples unless I am in a cold environment.
And whenever I make a mistake, even a little one, I began cursing myself and I feel that I'm not competent enough. I get emotional quickly, that is, I'm really sensitive. I blush like a little girl when someone insults me.

I know majorly this all depends on your genetics but I feel that this is destroying my self-esteem. I need some ways to destroy all these inhibitions of mine which are making my life miserable.
I want a healthy life.

I want to be a bold, daring person. Who can go and talk with anyone he wants. Who can let go of past mistakes. Who doesn't give a crap about what others think of him. Who can handle embarrassments and insults.
I want to be masculine.

I have started working out daily but I need some more ways in which I can be a better much mature person.
Please help.

Hi Abdullah! I'm a sensitive guy too!
I like your description - "...bold, daring person. Who can go and talk with anyone he wants. Who can let go of past mistakes. Who doesn't give a crap about what others think of him. Who can handle embarrassments and insults." What's cool is that it is possible to be these things and still be sensitive. And that is ok.
The concept you are describing is called resiliency in psychology - there are a bunch of really good TED talks on it and all kinds of resources (I like this one:
). Also, Brené Brown, a researcher from Texas, has written a few books on courage and is a phenomenal speaker (check out her first TED talk here). Her main conclusion, from all the work she has done, is that courage is not possible without vulnerability. So, if you choose, your sensitivity may be your greatest strength!
