Societal Barriers are like enclosed spaces, deep-rooted or entrenched within society with rigid patterns of thought processes that show up in actions or behaviours-formulating laws for each gender that hinder individuals overall progression.

Societal norms are more like illusions or mirages that every individual or gender is obliged to follow and that are stipulated even before birth.

Women are expected to be the epitome of a perfect figure, consisting of all human virtues and strengths.I was taught to be selfless and attentive to others needs and wants before one’s.

There is a saying that women are more emotionally intelligent than others.

Although we are also humans with imperfections, the reason lies in our conditioning to be calm and empathetic in our approaches (which laid the foundations for our thinking process), to play games (avoiding strength-based games), and much more.We were never emotionally equipped from the very beginning, but societal norms made us like that.

The emotional aftermath: Decreased self-worth-lack of self-belief, emotional turbulence, self-doubt, and developing negative coping mechanisms,which create a vicious cycle.

This process slowly moves us away from our inner child and being, which hinders self-growth and development.
