I'm trying my best to sound more manly, and I recognize I may be projecting my insecurities onto Larry Page, who seems to be experiencing his own difficulties.

He may for all the little I truly know, be totally innocent, and only ever guilty of having helped people like me.

My pain feels constant and sharp, but I don't want others to feel pressured to speak manly; instead, I notice I can unintentionally pass my insecurity on to people around me.

In the image, an unidentified adult male is seated in front of a microphone, engaged in conversation. He has a bald head and is wearing a short-sleeved, light green shirt. The background features a bookshelf filled with various books and objects, including a globe and a decorative item resembling a turtle. To the right, there is a model rocket labeled "UNITED STATES." The setting appears to be indoors, likely in a studio or a casual interview space. The individual seems to be expressing interest or approval, as indicated by his facial expression and body language. The text overlay suggests he is discussing a media outlet, specifically CNN, and his tone appears conversational.
