If I ever consider doing a Ph.D., it would be on studying female bitchiness.
Women are known to show passive-aggression towards other women. This behavior is observed across cultures. Fairy tales abound with stories of 'wicked' women who try their best to eliminate 'good' women who are viewed as competition. The poison-laced apple is replaced with poison-laced words. Women engage in slandering, back-stabbing and gossiping as a result of deep-rooted insecurity.
I believe every woman reading this has experienced being gossiped about by other women. Some may have even enjoyed becoming the frenemy.
Based on my observation, interaction, and experience with insecure women, I'd like to share my findings.
Things that strike fear in the heart of insecure women
- Women who are attractive
- Women who dress well
- Women who wear red lipstick/clothes/shoes
- Women who are achievers
- Women who have a lavish lifestyle
- Women who are confident and self-assured
- Women who receive excessive attention from men
- Women who have it all together
Signs you're dealing with an insecure woman
- Withholds important information
- Gives you false information or twists the truth
- Gossips about other women to deflect attention from one's own inadequacies
- Uses sarcasm to taunt you
- Humiliates you in front of others
- Rubs salt into your wounds
- Has betrayed you more than once
- Distracts you or attempts to dissuade you from working hard or finishing a task
- Is nosey and wants to know everything about your life especially if you have any 'dark secrets'
Pay attention to micro-facial expressions.
- Gives you a disapproving look for no reason at all
- Shows disdain for your choice of clothes, make-up, shoes, etc
- Rolls her eyes or slightly smirks whenever you talk about the positive things in your life
- Avoids making eye-contact when you speak or gives you a cold look
- Stares at you from a distance
Women who are used to being excellent at what they do don't feel the need to tarnish the reputation of other women. However, those accustomed to mediocrity cannot bear to see another doing well. With no clear goals or purpose in life, they enjoy disrupting the goals of others.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
