[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women lack self awareness just as much as men, especially the conventionally attractive women who have had people catering to them their entire adult lives.[/quote]

Real. I am a woman and the person I've known who was the worst about this was a woman. She was very cute and her appearance also ran really young, so she always looked like 5 or more years younger than she actually was. On top of it, she was the baby in her family so I suspect her parents spent years saying stuff like "it's not her fault, she'd too young to know" or "be nice to your baby sister" and it got very internalized.

This created some very severe problems for her when she finally [b]started encountering people, in her late 20s and early 30s, who treated her like an adult who was responsible of her actions, and people who had no reason to baby her or protect her. She had no way to cope with it and kept making mildly negative situations much worse by blaming everyone but herself, lying constantly to keep from being held accountable, bad mouthing anyone who criticized her, or becoming super avoidant [/b](silent treatment, not going to work, claiming illness to avoid social events) when she thought someone might be upset with her.

It was really something. Teach your kids to accept responsibility! It will be doing them a favor in the long run.[/quote]

Reminds me of my adhd kids and relatives. [/quote]
