I feel like being successful as a woman in India is equal to a crime. So, I've been told I'm too ambitious and intimidating, especially in relationships. How do I own my ambition without being seen as 'too much' or 'unfeminine'? It's like, I want to go after my goals without feeling like I have to tone it down to fit in. have you faced something like this??

being too ambition and too intimidating is never a bad thing. i think it scares people and they start seeing you as equal competition, which is one of the places where this insecurity comes from. and you’ve managed to accomplish this without losing your femininity because this has come natural to you. so why stop now? when it comes to a relationships, you are probably not with the right person if they can appreciate you for who you are and support you in your ambition.

yes, yes I have always faced this and continue to face it. People judge you left, right and centre and make comments that no one asked for. What I have learnt is to be who you want to be irrespective of their stupid opinions. you will also find many people are afraid of the feminine power. Till the time she is small and under someone's ( read , a man) wing till that time, it's okay, when she spreads her own wings that's the time all these so called 'Men and moral Women' come out to tell you, your place. You, kindly give them the middle finger and keep going. ;)

My cuzn got divorced 3 months back. His wife was emotionally abusive and manipulative. Somehow she isolated him from everybody including family. The internet talks so much about narcissistic men but let me tell you, women too can have narcissistic personality disorder. Now I want to know, How is the life of a divorced man in India?@RC_Mayanka

It can come as a surprise but not all men are living happily and not all women are in misery. They both have their problems and struggles. It's just about the pov

RelationshipCoach_DrGujral・1d

It is true that both men and women can be narcissist, but yes it is talked about most in men. as for life of a divorced man, things might be little tough when he wishes to get married again, as people will find it hard to believe that he was abused. other than that most things should be ok for him.

Ofcourse maximum women has some expectations from the relationship, women might build up their future with that person. By separation or divorce, women couldn't see the future and their dreams suddenly.. it must be empty when the person goes off from the life. Coz of that emptiness women effects psychological disturbance. In that situation they feel lack of confidence or self esteem. How long it's continue will be depends on the person.

RC_Mayanka・-1d

Marriage is not just a bond between two bodies....they get attached emotionally and mentally. Its is really difficult for a person to detach from someone you loved so much. When you are trying to give your 100 percent and your partner does not care about it. Then a women's self esteem and confidence shakes.

Always known I was different, but never had the courage to explore it. Now that I'm retired, I'd love to connect with other LGBTQ+ women, especially older folks like myself. Any suggestions for LGBTQ+ senior groups in India?

Humsafar Trust is one of India's oldest organisations that has been advocating for the rights and the health of LGBTQ+ individuals in India since 1993. Twice every month, they host meet-ups and workshops to bring the community together and socialise. Apart from this, the good folks at Humsafar also provide legal and psychological aid to those in distress. In cases of extortion, blackmail, or to help you through the 'coming out' phase, these are the people you can trust without any qualms. They conduct a bunch of workshops as well so do keep a check on their social media handles and website for the same. You can also search online for local LGBTQA communities and join their workshop or discussion groups. More power to you and Best of luck for the future! 👍
