(((hiding in my room))),

When you trace your life the way you are talking about, yes, you will see things you have done or developed because of how you struggled growing up. Working through PTSD that can go way back in your life is a big challenge. There are these bright times where you feel you have discovered something others don't realize, then you can begin to think others already know and it is only you that is suddenly just seeing "reality". There are ups and downs and many things to learn and share.

I think that it would be good for a man to give "his" perspective because men rarely talk about their own faults, past and even weaknesses they didn't realize they had.
Men often hide in shame or think they have to "cover it up" or "suck it up" somehow.
Oh they are expected to have all the answers, but they don't and often feel very frustrated if they don't.

Your book sounds like a good idea. Just realize that you might experience these lows too. Just keep pushing forward, you will keep learning as you do so.
