[quote=Anonymous]I have lots of wonderful women in my life and have friends from every era (childhood up through motherhood). But in every phase of life, I feel like my female friendships are plagued by competition and insecurity. I don't understand why it is so often hard for women to just be supportive of each other, without either judgment or jealousy. I think it really inhibits my ability to be closer with my friends. I think I accepted it more in my 20s and 30s, but now that I'm in my 40s I've found I just have no tolerance for it. I find myself avoiding socializing because I notice all the little competitive jabs and comparative language (not just directed at me, often directed at other women, but that bugs me too) and it just exhausts me. I've started spending a lot more time alone or just with my husband and kids because it just makes me tired to be around. Why do women do this?![/quote]
