Why even the strongest women sometimes feel crushed inside

When we meet a strong woman, we are quickly drawn to her self-assurance. At first, we think she controls absolutely everything: work, family, health. However, behind a happy smile, there is often a great vulnerability that, little by little, can affect our health.

O awesome.club created a list of reasons why strong women struggle to find happiness.

In general, a strong woman likes to be independent and doesn’t want anyone’s help. Thus, she tends to depend only on herself. Research has shown that this can even be part of her identity, which makes her proud too. The problem is that she only trusts herself and she doesn’t understand that everyone, sooner or later, will need help, and so will she.

This could be because she doesn’t want to be a nuisance or because she perceives the need to ask for help as a weakness.

The problem is that we are social beings and we always need others. Psychologists say that we all need support. Asking for help is not only healthy, but it is a show of generosity, since you are allowing another person to ask for help when they need it.

It’s no surprise that her family and friends trust her and that people consider her trustworthy🇧🇷 Research has shown that this is because people with a strong temper also tend to have a strong sense of responsibility, which is perceived by others as a sign of wisdom and even honor.

However, a strong woman does not share her family’s difficulties with friends. She holds all the suffering that people pass on to her. But if the problem also affects her, she is usually the one who takes charge of the situation. It could be, for example, something related to money or health.

A strong woman tends to deal with other people’s concerns, but doesn’t share her own with anyone.🇧🇷 This has been proven to make her feel extremely lonely, and can lead to depression. But she doesn’t always let her sadness show, she controls herself because she also sees herself as a strong person – the identity she created does not match that of a person who shows signs of weakness.

In doing so, she makes the mistake of absorbing other people’s problems and internalizing her own. This research demonstrated that we need to interact with other people to be happy and to face our problems. Not sharing our frustrations is the first step to more sadness.

A strong woman cares about her family and those close to her, and lets others take all their problems out on her. In doing so, she often forgets that also need care🇧🇷 And the worst thing is that she makes other people forget too. She looks so strong that no one thinks that she may be going through a rough patch.

After receiving help, the friends resolve the issue and move on with their independent lives. Often, they forget to ask how she is doing, which can lead to a lot of sadness.

Often, women need to maintain an image of security and strength when facing complicated situations with vulnerable people, who may be friends, children or other relatives. However, if she does this for too long, she may just not be able to take it. One study revealed that the frequent suppression of emotions puts an additional load on the heart and increases the possibility of developing cardiovascular disease.

That is, the woman may feel emotionally weak and may also experience real health problems.

The feeling that “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is exactly what this research demonstrated. A woman can become stronger after several tragic events and can even become more resilient after a dramatic incident.but that doesn’t mean she isn’t sad when she remembers what happened. The psychological wounds are still there and can always hurt.

Some women put on a mask at work and indoors. However, when they are alone, they return to the real world and are invaded by a great feeling of insecurity. Her friends, relatives and co-workers consider her a strong woman and expect a lot from her. However, this research revealed that the level of self-control a woman imposes on herself and the high expectations of others for her can be very harmful psychologically. When she thinks about her flaws and her suppressed emotions, she just breaks down.

In the end, she thinks it’s not enough and who cannot face the problems. This imbalance of emotions is what leaves her completely exhausted.
