In fact, developing your own criteria is necessary to avoid manipulation by other people.

Of course, it is not about accumulating knowledge and skills to impress a potential partner: this progress is valued as a type of personal growth that is positive for itself. not to please someonebut to please oneself. This aspect defines the way in which independent women relate to their self-esteem.

6. They care about others

Usually one falls or wants to fall into the error that the independent and empowered woman tends to not care about the individuals that surround her. However, this is not so. The fact of suffering the pressure of some cultural remnants that are still anchored in machismo makes this class of people accustomed to weaving networks of solidarity with others. They are there when and where they are needed.

7. They know how to listen and give advice.

Due to their lived experiences, they will give the best advice on things in which they are experts, since they have full knowledge of the people around them, as well as of themselves thanks to the fact of having developed a relatively high degree of self-awareness (a consequence of having faced many challenges independently).

Many statistical data and reports that have to do with the domestic sphere ensure that the women take an average of four years longer to become independent from their family home than sex male. However, emancipating themselves both economically and psychologically is a step that empowered women set themselves as a goal and that, where the appropriate circumstances are given, they manage to carry out.

Of course, this is not achieved simply by working individually. If the independent woman is something so "exotic" it is, among other things, because behaving as autonomously as a man is still penalized in many ways. For example, in work meetings, female workers who give their opinion with the same frequency as their male colleagues of the same rank are frowned upon, according to some research.
