Why are women/girls so insecure?

Postby Tune » Thu Dec 15, 2011 5:12 am

I've noticed most girls, women too, tend to have tons of insecurities compared to guys. So much so they go - forgive my language - 'batshit' in all sorts of forms.

Being in my teens, I've obviously noticed it with my female peers; I don't know many grown woman so this question is mainly with the teenage girls in mind. Though I'm also slightly curious if these insecurities tranfer onto adulthood too or if its just a teenage phase?
Lastly I'm wondering if I could get some female insight as to *why* these insecurities form and *how* and am I wrong in thinking its just a teenage phenomena? Can it happen earlier or later?

I've been wondering as I've seen girls, a lot of them being close friends sadly, do chaotic things due to these things such as develop addictions such as love addiction (an addictiont to going into relationships just for the feel; yes it is real) - which means rebound after rebound; constantly thinking the man they're with is 'the one' which shatters when the honeymoon period withers away. Along with others such as drug, alcohol ... some even have been trying to come onto many guys for the sex. O.o
I'd go into more detail, but I think I've made the picture clear (if not, don't hesitate to ask for more clarity).

Of course, my ultimate question is *why* and *how* these develop... with the profound effect of them being totally unaware of their problem, particularly the love addicts/relationship addicts/hopless romantics. O.o

Sadly the root of it is usually found in childhood.... someone breaking you down, either in school or at home. People calling you names or even being raised in a way that you always take what others say personally and being raised self conscious by someone else who has the same self-esteem issues... that tends to grow worse as you grow older unless you make a conscious decision to change your mind set. "Speaking out of experience..."

A lot of it is society. Young girls are basically bombared with images saying they need to be "perfect". For example. Look at all the super models out there. These young girls/women are seeing these women and they believe they need to look like them in order to be loved.

Here, in the USA, a lot of young women (sometimes as young as 7 & 8) are belimicand anerexic because they believe they have to be super thin to be loved. It's basic human want to want to be loved.

When I was 18, I was belimic. It got so bad, my periods stopped, (which usually happens). I really believed in the hype. Now, I am 44, full figured, but still have that mindset.

Please, if you have female friends, please let them know they are fine the way they are. Words are extremely powerful. Positive and the negative.

Peace...
