I'm a woman who has experince life on my own terms,although i've made my share of mistakes alone the way,but i've gotten thru them and i've learned from them and i've made better life choices because of that. Overall i'm content with myself-even being heavier than i'd like to be,even with that i'm now losing the weight and i feel great.but there are so many beautiful women,some even have great careers,and they seem so miserable and bitter.I realize that women are fickle,and catty,but,to be so judgmental and so small,and simple,I often ask myself what kind of life have they had that has caused them to be this way. Especially,older women who should have maturity on their side.I feel that when you're o.k with yourself,and you have inner-peace it really should manifest itself in everything that you do and that peace extend itself to others. Hum,i work with a bunch of woman and they are so miserable,and their aim is to constantly tear you down,why? how do you become this way?

By being small, narrow minded, and not ever, EVER even attempting to think or feel outside of their own heads.
Men are the same. Trust me.
Like Forest Gump said: Stupid is as stupid does.
I say: Selfish is as selfish does.

From my experience, women view other women as a threat or as competition. This appears to be true with women in their 20s and career-oriented women in their 50s. It seems that those who appear successful in some way believe that they have worked hard to achieve what they have.
For example, a corporate vp may feel that she has broken the invisible glass, but feels that others who work under her or next to her are going after her job and may feel that she needs to critizise and make sure that those under her stay there.
I've seen many instances where girls in their 20s are very vindictive towards a new girl, especially a new pretty girl; they feel that she's competition, whether this competition may be something as simple as attention or a man, it doesn't seem to matter; they feel that this girl is there to take something away from her.
This of course isn't true with all girls, I've met many girls that are the opposite of this, but this certainly does apply to some.

They have to tear others down to feel better about themselves, because they are insecure, they are growing older, feeling they are becoming horrid creatures no man will find beautiful, no children to take care of, etc. etc. and if tehy can make someone else feel as rotten as they do, the succeed. And miserable people live longer, simply because they ENJOY it.

They have no self esteem, they need to put other people down to feel good about themselves. The way to deal with people like this is know that you kick ***, walk with your head high and don't let them intimidate you. Be really nice to them, it's hard to hate some one who's nice, but don't be fake and don't let them walk all over you. Treat them with professional curtisy not like you want to be their friend and if one of them says something mean smile and say thank you.

I think it is because women see others as a challenge or an enemy. I don't know why that is. Like when a man cheats on you and you call the woman a slut, isn't he being the slut? But that is how we are raised or something. At least how they are, I don't think like that.

Some times people just react to Their own life by trying to take it out on someone else.
