WHY ARE WOMEN SO COMPETITIVE?

 

I am a woman too and I certainly think that competition is a positive and stimulating element but seriously… what the heck is wrong with women constantly acting like they’re snakes in a pit?

Whether it is to attract a man’s attention or work-related issues, women struggle to establish relationships without competition and without envy.

Just walk on the street, take the subway or wash your hands in a club’s washroom, in order to hear gruesome women who make rude comments on another girl; and let’s not even talk about the disapproving looks that they throw at you for no reason!

Denying there is some competition between women does not help solve the problem. I believe that women are instinctively jealous of

their “sisters’” achievements and they are capable of creating so much hatred towards a person they barely know or even worse, consider their friend. Why not be happy for your friend? Why don’t you want her to succeed? What really makes you friends then?

“Don’t care about you”

I have no words.

I’ve always surrounded myself with guy friends because I knew this all along. But the more you grow the more you don’t to be part of the boys anymore, while you’re a 25 year-old woman trying to make it in the fashion industry! There are some many things you can to a guy about, and clothes is not one of them!

We live in an age of technology and that is a beautiful thing in terms of progress and advancement in our lives, but social media has taken made this topic even worse. We live behind screen, watching people through “filters”. We are not afraid of speaking up anymore, we make rude comments below people’s pictures. The trend of show-casing your lives through these screens has in my opinion, made woman in particular more competing with each other. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe all women are like that! I’m just saying that is getting harder and harder in finding a genuine person who you can truly trust and actually cares of your success. I wish all this competition would stop and rather create a greater bond between women who support each other and are not constantly looking for a way to take the lead.
