Happiness is a matter of choice, and women don’t seem to be excercising it!

Psychologist, Neeta Nanda explains, “Equality of men and women has also lead to an increase in competition. Girls, during their academic period, or women, in their professional life, do not take things casually anymore. In fact, girls by nature are more sincere and tend to take tasks much more seriously than men. And this along with the zeal to excel puts women under greater mental pressure than men.”

An interesting research has been done by an American psychologist Jean Twenge, who explains that the ‘narcissism epidemic’ has been affecting women in America. More and more are experiencing frustration, stress or sudden bouts of irritation, and all this is due to factors such as having huge expectations from oneself and one’s life, pre-determining one’s academic and professional achievements, constant search of fame and status, and believing that he/she is the most important and special person. Narcissists are usually very competitive and outgoing and can seldom handle failures, which obviously everyone is bound to cross paths within life. So ladies, if you have similar thoughts running through your mind, you know where you’ll end up.

Agreed, that in this competitive world, mere survival is a struggle, but don’t forget that hardships are just stones that you step over on your journey of life. No matter how strong the storm blows on you, if you can still muster up your spirits and work and smile for the sake of your family, then you can also choose to relax, breathe and smile for yourself...
