Women are complex creatures. We are forced to wear different personas in our everyday lives. We are taught from an early age to mold ourselves to please other girls and boys, which carries into our adult lives. While this is problematic, women are smart creatures and we learned how to make these personas work for us in our every day lives.
1. The shy girl who is really outgoing if you get to know her.
She's demure and quiet in public or in crowds, but it's because she doesn't know when to jump in. She overthinks everything, even talking. If you get this one alone though, watch out. She is funny and upbeat. She actually has a lot to say and you should definitely listen to her.
2. The stupid girl who can actually dance intellectual circles around you.
She pretends to have no idea about cars, politics, or anything substantial, but not because she wants to be fake. No, she knows men will scream and pout, throwing hissy fits until you just agree with them. Women know men can't take being wrong so we just stroke the little ego so the big guy doesn't get his little feelings hurt. Really, we do have opinions that a relevant and fact based, but why speak when men never listen? Trump? Called it. Car problem? Sounds like you need to add oil. She knows these things and thinks them but men won't listen so she lets them google and gloat when they figured it out.
3. The sweet, innocent girl who is really cunning and clever.
She may look sweet and have those big, innocent eyes, but she can manipulate any situation. Women have to act like they are working for something while doing the complete opposite. Women are so smart and clever, but often time get overlooked and underestimated so they've developed ways to ensure they get what they want. Even if at first it looks like the complete opposite.
4. The confident girl who is really insecure.
She pretends to have it all figured out and to have unending amounts of confidence, but really she is panicking about how she looks, how she moves, and what she says. She works so hard to make everyone think she has everything together when really...it feels like everything is falling apart. She questions everything about herself...you just may not see it.
5. The "bossy" girl who really just knows what she wants.
She's that girl who seems to have the perfect life plan laid out and everyone is jealous, but really she just has extreme drive. She works so hard and life isn't "easy" for her. She studies late into the night and take notes furiously because she has goals and dreams. She isn't bossy or controlling, she just knows what she wants and she works hard to get it.
6. The girl who hears the rumors but chooses to ignore them.
This one is probably the hardest persona to uphold. No matter who you are, gossip and rumors hurt. One of the best things to do is ignore it and let it roll off your back like water off a duck's back. No one likes someone lying about them because they assumed something or because they have a grudge. In women's experience though, rumors and gossip usually stem from jealousy. It's just one of those things that you pretend doesn't bother you, even if it does.
