Question by Kiliel: ASAP!! Beauty: is it a form of pressure for women?
I’m writing an analytical paper and my thesis statement goes like this: “Lakambini Sitoy’s “A Dream of Women” emphasizes characterization to depict the struggles of women amidst the pressures modern society.”
While writing my paper, I realized I was analyzing the effects of beauty on this female character like: temptation(to men), having low self-esteem because beauty is her only strengths and too much pride and stuff.. so this character adores her beauty and even compares it to the Virgin Mary– and i think i’m not doing my paper according to my thesis statement…
i can’t change my thesis statement anymore since it due, like, tomorrow. Please help!!!!

First of all, your thesis should kind of answer this question for us. What does the story say about the struggles of women…? Are they real? Are they across the board? How bad is this struggle for women? Also, I think that pride and low self-esteem are kind of contradictory. Consider the struggles that women really do go through (if you are a girl this should be very easy for you). Consider all possibilities such as how we are expected to look, act, and think, our roles in the workplace, at home and in society. How do they compare the the experiences this character has in the story? Do you think most women have similiar experiences? What does our reaction to these struggles say about our character? For example, if two girls both have the same size breasts and one decides to get implants and the other is perfectly happy with her body, what can we say about these two individuals? Hope this helps!

How can I play up my attractiveness and take advantage of it?

Question by Chucha: How can I play up my attractiveness and take advantage of it?
Ooh, that question sounded a little pretentious. What I mean to say is that I have youth and good health on my side and I feel I should take advantage of them while I have the chance. My self-esteem is really low so I’m oftentimes very embarrassed of myself and bundle myself up in sweats. I have had many guys ask me out and say I’m pretty, but I always think, “Well, they have bad taste in women.” or “They must be drunk/in a bet.” Guys flirt with me (I think) but I shy away and avoid them.
Well, the time has come for me to stop burrowing myself up in a hole. I have already bought some outfits that aren’t sweats and play up my good qualities, and I’m starting to take more care of my hygiene, hair, and makeup. What I still lack is confidence. I can still look in the mirror and see an ugly girl who doesn’t deserve attention. I don’t know how I will be able to seduce if I don’t think I’m pretty enough. Any tips?
And please don’t suggest seeing a shrink. I’m adverse to therapy, and I’ve tried it and didn’t quite like it.
Just so we’re clear, this is one itty bitty part of my life. I know there’s more to life than looks and flirting. I just would like to be a little more outgoing and I think part of being outgoing is having confidence that someone could be interested in you.
Also, do people get freaked out when someone ugly is trying to flirt with them?

Answer by Chris
Not really..while I applaud you in the transformation confidence somewhat comes naturally to me. Just repeat good things about yourself in your head, develop a habit of actually feeling that way.
Sorry if it wasn’t much help, best of luck!!!

Do you realize somebody who could use some self esteem activities? Did you know that many among the depressed people got sick due to the lack of self esteem? It could have began when they had been still young, like even before attending school. Imagine a child not getting in a position to follow orders given by his father and this father features a short fuse that he is simply finds himself acquiring angry using the kid having a loud voice. The boy cringes in fear, not wanting to create matters worse, trying to hold back his tears, saying sorry, but the father does not appear to accept his apology. How can this boy build self confidence?
Later, when he begins going to school, with self esteem activities lacking, he will be the usual victim of bullying. A lot like to his father, his reaction would only to give in to what exactly is getting demanded of him. Since the majority of his childhood life will be spent in cowardice, he won’t be able to feel for himself or determine for himself at all, for fear that he just may do a thing wrong. Oftentimes, this kind of person will live through adulthood in fear, stuttering when talking towards the girl he likes, alone the majority of the time, with friends with regards to books and computers. How can he build self confidence?
Self esteem activities should be in a position to assist such men and women. It really is really critical, though, that these self esteem activities are simple to perform. Below are the top three that are typically completed in a group because the very same people that are undergoing such difficulty will be exactly the same individuals who will probably be able to help each other build self confidence, with the aid of a guide.
1. Write One thing Good. One in the best self esteem activities to start from childhood. Form a circle. Each of the participant in the group will have a piece of paper with their name written on it. Pass the paper for the correct. Write some thing nice about that individual. It could possibly be anything but ensure it’s something good. If you will find 10 men and women in the circle, that would mean 9 folks trying to build self confidence by affirming “something nice” concerning the individual. The piece of paper is supposed to become kept and regularly read specifically when the feeling of uselessness haunts once once more. Every single of them will build self confidence.
2. Advertise Your self. One with the creative self esteem activities. Very good advertisements typically depict the positive side in the product. Think of yourself as the advertisement. What excellent items can you say about your self to acquire friendship of one more? You’ll be able to commence with one thing like, “Be my friend due to the fact I’m caring and a great listener.” Feel of all the positive adjectives that you are. At the end of each and every term, the men and women about will say, “I would like to become your friend because you’re caring along with a excellent listener.” Self esteem activities including this may aid build self confidence.
3. I Can Do That. build self confidence by way of action self esteem activities. `Have a list of numerous small tasks like jumping with right foot although left hand is touching left ear, or, high-five everyone in the space, and so on. Because the task is read aloud, the very first person to say “I can do that!” is going to be the one to do the job. It really is a strategy to make enjoyable, at the same time be used to saying that a task may be performed to be able to build self confidence.

Am I just not meant to date?

Question by : Am I just not meant to date?
It’s as if I was born with my fate decided: to never have a girlfriend.
I’m approaching my second year of high school, and I’ve yet to have a girlfriend, or even have any strong friendships with girls, for that matter. I’m constantly being picked on even by my dad for this, and it’s quickly becoming a pressing issue.
I’m the standard issue “nerd”, with the glasses, curly hair, weak body, etc (Don’t tell me to get contacts, work out, straighten, etc. I’ve tried them all, but I can’t convince my parents to let me…I even tried to get guitar lessons, so I’d have something good about me, but my parents wouldn’t allow that either.)
I know why I haven’t had a girlfriend: I’m really, really, REALLY shy. I’m afraid to even make eye contact with a girl I like, much less “grow the balls” to go talk to her. I think the reason for this is because after years of being called a nerd and looked down upon socially, I’ve come to accept it. Even my so called “friends” call me a dork or nerd sometimes. Sure, I prefer to spend my free time on the computer or playing video games than playing basketball or football, but that doesn’t make me have a worse personality!
I know this will all be better once I’m out of highschool…But that’s not what I”m worried about. It’s now. I’m tired of getting picked on from everyone, even family. I just know, though, if I did go talk to a girl, they would just dismiss me as a nerd and just about no girl would go out with me…As you can see, my self-esteem is incredibly low.
On a side-note: I’m even beginning to act a bit depressed. I’ve kept to myself for the past few months, spent little time with friends, and just generally done less and less because I know no matter what I do, I’ll always be socially rejected. It just depresses me and makes me want to go to sleep for twenty years until my dream life is (hopefully) true, and I’m a doctor working in some city in Ohio with a beautiful wife and children. If only, I could, though.
Anyway, back on track: I’m sure you can get a grip on what I’m like through this brief text. What can I do to be better around girls, or people in general?

Do you think brunettes are coming back in style?

Question by Cathy: Do you think brunettes are coming back in style?
People are becoming more liberal…women are becoming more independent….. Regardless of what is considered attractive nowadays, or more attractive, women are caring less about what men or women are finding attractive, and more about what they want for themselves…. and what makes them happy…… that also boosts their own confidence. If they’re doing something for themself, that alone is more attractive….. self esteem…… I also thought darker hair seemed more appealing, and alluring….. deeper personality…. but that’s just me…. i’m seeing less platinum or bright highlights on young women now…. Some of the most beautiful women, “it” girls, leading celebs are brunettes…. Angelina Jolie, Olivia Wilde, Halle Berry, …..Megan Fox is pretty up there, although not the most famous for her leading roles…. This darker trend is contagious!!!!!!! I lovvvvvvee how women are considering their opinions and preferences above what society considers to be attractive…. you might look better as a blonde bombshell, like scarlett Johansson & Drew Barrymore, but what is “you”? Hair color shouldn’t determine that, but it certainly does help with identity. A lot of people show their identity through their looks….. It seems dark is back! What do you think??
haha Tekker, good point!

what causes a parent to not have much interest in their child?

Question by nativebeauty22: what causes a parent to not have much interest in their child?
Growing up I had love shown by hugs and kisses. My parents provided for me well since they had good paying jobs, but they never really sat down and talked to me. I never was told I was beautiful. They never really asked how I was doing in life. I ended up developing low self esteem and not being able to fit in really with other kids. When I got in my teens. I got my period and I was freaking out because I thought I was dying (blood=bad, haha). My mom simply told me to calm down and women “get this stuff” she then gave me a pad and that’s it. I had a few boyfriends in middle school due to lack of attention, and kept some of the strict faith I was brought up with.. I guess this helped a bit since I told them I didn’t want to have sex because it was for “marriage”, that saved me since alot of girls got pregnant. As I got older I started being influenced by mainstream media.
My guess for why this happens is the constant worry about survival?

Answer by Alicia
My mom did the same thing to me. Sometimes it comes from a generation gap or the lack of bonding they may have had with their parents. Now, I have no desire to have kids because of my fear of not being able to bond to my offspring.
So I’m going to get a corgi instead.
