Women’s anxiety

Women are prone to anxiety. This is evidenced by the data of experimental studies, this is also known: men are bolder, women are most often afraid. If a man starts to behave like this, he is reproached: “Well, why are you a coward, you are not a woman!”

There is an assumption that female anxiety is not congenital, but acquired, not a biological circumstance, but part of the female gender — widespread ideas in society about how a girl, a girl and a woman should behave. At the age of up to one year, no significant differences in fears and anxiety between male and female infants are found, girls begin to learn to be afraid most often from the age of 3-4 years.

Fears and anxiety begin as a child’s game, but, supported by society, it becomes for girls and women a part of their personality, a moment of their destiny.

If you monitor women’s blogs, it is easy to make sure that women are well aware of their increased anxiety, but they do not seriously plan to deal with it in any way: “So what’s wrong with that. It’s a manifestation of emotion. After the birth of a child, I also became so emotional and sensitive!

When psychologists write about parental fears, most often they write about women’s fears. Women are habitually prone to anxiety about the health of their children. If a child does not want to go to school and wants to play sick for this, he knows that his mother is more likely to believe in his illness than his father. Children are wrapped up more often by mothers and grandmothers, and not by fathers and grandfathers. Not all dads are very caring, but if a caring dad wants to harden a child, plans to dip a baby in ice water, let him run at home without clothes and barefoot on the floor, and later run with him in the same swimming trunks on freshly fallen snow, then mothers are rarely for such projects, more often they have to be persuaded for a long time, or even broken.
