    What do "It is not about" and "period" mean in this paragraph? I have a paragraph like this: "The only way to increase your self-esteem to its maximum and to keep it high permanently is to adopt a different mental approach. Rather than seeking acceptance from other people, you should seek it from yourself. {....} Decide to accept yourself unconditionally. This does not mean you should stop improving yourself, but it does mean you should stop feeling bad about who you are in the meantime and stop comparing yourself to others: It is not about being better than other people; it is about being as good as you can be, period. No external comparisons are necessary. You are who you are. Accept it" The sentence " It is not about being better than other people; it is about being as good as you can be, period" is hard for me to understand because of the phrase "It is not about" and word "period". Can I understand the sentence as "you do not need to be better than other people; you need as good as you can be", right?

    What does "not supposed to do something" in English? I have an example as follows: "Most males would rather rationalize than admit they are afraid. This is especially true when they have to explain their actions to other people, and particularly when what they are afraid of is a harmless woman, since they know that fear is a weakness and that males are not supposed to be vulnerable. No male wants to admit to being a coward, yet most of them are" I saw the expression "not supposed to something" many times in English, but i don't really understand of it. Does it mean "not allowed to do something/have no right to do something", right?

    thank you. but I still think "confident" mean ""feel certain on the inside", so I don't understand the meaning of the sentence. Do you think the meaning of the sentence is "act like you are confident with women, regardless of how you feel on the inside", right?

    What does the writer mean in this paragraph? Here is the paragraph "When it comes to being attractive to women, internal insurance is unnecessary as women do not care why men are confident. They only care about the external appearance of certainty, how males behave, because that is the only thing they can see, and it has proved to be a good indicator throughout the history of our species in the selection of suitable sexual partners[...] Since most males also believe they have to feel certain on the inside to be confident with women and because most of them believe that women want plenty of things that they do not have, they are likely to lack confidence around women and feel inadequate to get them. Meanwhile, they will prioritize success in society to feel certain that a female would be interested in them, and they will postpone the pursuit of women until they feel worthy, expecting that there will be such a day." Why does the writer say "Since most males ... confident with women"? is "feel certain on the inside" not good ?

    What does "mental mold built of beliefs" in this paragraph? Here is the sentence: "The first impression becomes an idea of how someone is, like a mental mold built of beliefs, and people then nonconsciously look for confirmation of those initial beliefs while discarding details that might contradict them. Supposedly, we form an opinion of someone during the first three seconds of meeting them. Then, during the following 30 seconds, we shape up that initial impression and try to fit whatever new information that comes up into reinforcing that first impression." Can you explain the meaning of the expression "mental mold built of beliefs"? Thank!
