This is an article coming out of frustration. Not just frustration with women but how women are acting, treating other women, and letting people treat them. Some of these are things I, my friends, and family have seen or experienced. All in all, it seems women are pretty good at belittling other women and allowing men to belittle them in response. Here are 21 things you need to cut out of your life.

1. Stepping on other people to get to where you want to go.

Why do women feel so inferior to other women? pushing people down doesn't make you climb the social ladder any faster.

2. Pretending that you don’t care.

This is bad for everyone.

3. Lying.

Can we all just stop with the lying and deceiving? It gets none of us anywhere but hurt. I think we can all come to a consensus that being upfront makes life go by a lot easier.

4. Seeing other women as competition.

They’re not! We all need to get over the fact that there is always going to be someone prettier, skinnier, richer, smarter out there. Remember that you could have a quality that person does not, and you don’t even know it!

5. Trying to hurt or stab other women in the back to one-up them.

Why can’t we all vibe without trying to hurt one another because you feel threatened or insecure in your own life? That’s your own issue, not the girl who just turned heads when she walked into the bar.

6. Being so critical of yourself.

You’re not as bad as you think, we often times view ourselves more negatively than the general population.

7. Neglecting your well-being.

Stop putting everyone else before you! I do this too much, but I honestly prefer being alone, doing things for myself and my well-being. Even if it is only going to the gym and showering, these little things matter. Don’t constantly disrupt your own life for the comfort of other people around you because most people won’t even thank you.

8. Explaining yourself to people who don't respect you.

You could find plenty of better ways to spend your time, trust me.

9. Worrying about that guy who doesn't want you.

You don’t need anyone who doesn’t need you. If he doesn’t fight, he never wanted you that bad. There is someone out there who will.

10. Settling.

Don’t stay with someone out of fear of being alone, of having to find someone else and dealing with the sticky process we call love.

11. Letting anyone make you feel like you don’t deserve what you want.

If you want it, you deserve it. Why? Because you deserve to be happy and you deserve to be treated the way you treat others. If someone tells you your expectations are too high pardon my French but they’re a ninny, and they’re not a man they’re a boy!

12. Being afraid to go after what you love.

Don’t waste your time with fear of failure or humiliation, learn to be laughed at and laugh with them.

13. Letting other people discourage your decisions to go after those things you love.

Not your parents, friends, teacher, coach, boyfriend, girlfriend. You're not entitled to anything in life but you do have the right to chase after what you want to get.

14. Doing it for "them" instead of for yourself.

This is YOUR life you are living it for yourself at the end of the day. As long as you’re not hurting anyone do what makes you happy.

15. Worrying about whether or not you're "succeeding."

I know how hard it is! I know in college sometimes you feel as significant as that hairball your cat coughed up yesterday. Trust me the harder you work and stay focused the more things will fall into place. Enjoy the ramen noodle lunches and penny-scraping couches for coffee while it lasts. One day you will miss the simplicity of things; one day you’ll realize things are just things.

16. Apologizing for everything.

You don’t owe anyone apologies for little things. You shouldn’t feel sorry for the guy who you turned down at the bar, you shouldn’t have to explain why you’re in a certain major, for living, breathing, and making mistakes every once in a while. Apologize when you mess up admit it was your fault and make a mental note not to do it again. Never apologize for existing.

17. Caring about things that don't matter.

A ton of your unneeded stress probably stems from too many "priorities." Refine them, cut out the rest, and move on with a focused list of things you really care about.

18. Worrying about being weird or different.

You'd be so boring if you were "normal." Celebrate your weirdness!

19. Letting people demand apologies for pointless things like number 18.

Show them the door.

20. Telling yourself that you don't matter.

You exist, and therefore, you matter.

21. Find a better role model than one of the Jenner clan.

They all suck honestly, in reference to number 20 they don't matter any more than you do, stop making them such important powerful people, there are handfuls of celebrities I can think of who are smarter, more attractive, more talented, and more wholesome than all of the Kardashians put together. Some examples: Taylor Momsen, Lang Leav, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Akon, the list goes on...
