Why do so many women seem insecure and need constant validation?

[Wodens_Apprentice]

Seems like they're all extremely mentally ill whenever it comes to any sort of criticism. Outside of that they demand constant validation and are always testing their men to make sure he only finds her attractive.

Is it hypocritical? As I think women also find other men attractive without necessarily cheating (I hope at least).

I think it's just built into their nature, which is a blackpill because insecure women are impossible to have a relationship with.

The pressures of society trigger the insecurities in all of us. And when it comes to women still to this day are we made to feel that our worth is not enough. Our failure is falling into the trap of allowing ourselves to be manipulated by the toxic culture to the point one feels we need to be told constantly we're better than good and feeling insecure is what makes us vulnerable and feeding our own vulnerability is what makes women need validation. Many women just don't feel good enough and are incapable of embracing all that they are without the need to prove anything to anyone.

I don't think smart phones have been healthy for women's psychology at all.

[thegreenyogi]

Of course they haven't. I agree it hasn't helped. I guess this is the price of progress due to technology advancement and it's a shame because it hasn't helped women or men really.

[Wodens_Apprentice]

Yeah it's not helping men because of what it's doing to women.

[thegreenyogi]

My point exactly.

When all women around you are perceived as "extremely mentally ill", it automatically indicates that your perceptions are distorted. Because it's statistically impossible to be surrounded by so much mental illness, in normal circumstances. Unless you're posting from a psychiatric unit of course.

[Wodens_Apprentice]

Most people in general are "mentally ill". That's because mental disorders are effectively just another way of saying you have a brain & don't think exactly the same as everyone else.
"Mental illness" is a questionable term to begin with so I used it more casually. There's no evidence a mental state is an illness outside of academics trying to justify their doctorate by prescribing you drugs.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I mean, sure, you can try to argue against anything well established, good luck with that lol

[Wodens_Apprentice]

@Maybe_Maybe_not It's not well established because they have not rationally proved your thoughts & feelings can be poorly. That implies injury, disease and other life threatening health conditions.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I don't think it's wise to define on your own, and against a lot of people, what is well established and what isn't. That's precisely why I wished you good luck

[Wodens_Apprentice]

I'm not on my own these ideas as I was exposed to the ideas from a video I saw.
I think it's wise to define things on your own so long as you're basing it off what is evident. The whole mental health framework appears to be a justification rather than based on true evidence.

Thank you and I also wish you luck 🍀

Funny coming from the gender that needs validation for their dick size every 5 minutes 🤣

[Wodens_Apprentice]

Good point.
If you're a virgin you got noone to validate your dick, which isn't the same for woman as their form is more visible.
If a woman is honest about your dick size and you get mad, you're the one expected to burden the responsibility for being insecure.
If women sniff out any insecure from their men, she's instantly less attracted towards you. Whereas men don't find acts of insecurity unattractive even if we do like confidence.
Men are made to have accountability & manage their emotions in this example.

That is hilarious coming from a male gag user. I must assume you haven't been on here long.

[Wodens_Apprentice]

Elaborate

[jahaims]

They are emotionally immature/unhealthy.

[Wodens_Apprentice]

Definitely that.

For the same reason some men are
