can't see the forest for the trees

It means that if you look at things one at a time, you might not realize that a branch of separate "trees" go togehter to make a "forest"

When you are too close to a situation you need to step back and get a little perspective. When you do you will notice there was a whole forest you couldn't see before because you were too close, and focusing on the trees.
Simply that you have focused on the many details and have failed to see the overall view, impression or key point.

Foreskin Envy

The moment of truth where a guy (usually in his teens) finds out that their penis is actually circumcised and that they were supposed to have a foreskin. Sometimes, this usually leads the guy to be naturally curious of how it would feel like to have a foreskin, and therefore they get envious, which can happen either consciously or at a subconscious level. Similar to Freud's penis envy.

(p.s. I am actually uncut but I can imagine how this would be like for a guy who's circumcised)
Guy 1: Hey, um, bro to bro, what's it like to have a foreskin?
Guy 2: It.... feels nice, I guess?
Guy 1: Oh wow that's great tell me more
Guy 2: Lmao bruh, I think you might have foreskin envy 😅
