Women's Issues

One issue that impacts many women throughout their lives, is low self esteem.
The following are the  symptoms:

Demeans her own talents

Feels that others don’t value her

Feels powerless

Can be easily influenced by others

Expresses a narrow range of emotions

Avoids situations that provoke anxiety

Becomes defensive and easily frustrated

Blames others for their own weaknesses

Low self-esteem has been correlated with low life satisfaction, loneliness, anxiety,
resentment, irritability and depression

There are a variety of reasons why women in particular struggle with self-worth
and body image. Among those reasons are the media, lack of nurture during
childhood, peer ridicule, sexual/physical/verbal abuse, and rejection. Some women
have a drop in self-esteem due to physical changes in appearance as a result of
getting older, gaining weight, or having children.

Millions of women, from preteen years to post-menopause, wrestle daily with low
self-esteem. Struggling with a poor image of yourself can cause depression, eating
disorders, and mediocre or below par performance in school or work. Not realizing
your potential and your value as a human being can take a toll on your health and
your quality of life. It can also adversely affect your relationships.

Who has had a low self esteem issue, but has managed to over come it? What
importance, if any, is an absentee father or a father that doesn't involve himself
in his daughters life. Does this affect her self-esteem ?

Please share with us.

Fina Bella is looking for issues to discuss. Please contact us at

it's just that there's nothing without it”

How important is a Father in a Daughter's life

Females are naturally curious and love to ask questions, discuss and learn. As a child, if her father was a good
parent and was patient and available to her, she would have looked up to him as the first important man in her
life, and viewed him as a male role model to use for certain positive male markers for her future choice in a
partner. She would have posed “millions” of questions, learned from him, been introduced to how a good man
thinks and acts, been told how pretty she is even when sometimes she didn't think so, but understood that he was
speaking globally and also meant from her heart as well as her exterior beauty, would want to talk with him when
she was sad and shared her times of joy with him, been taught to develop self confidence, a positive self esteem and
was told she is intelligent and as smart as any man. Fathers are important in the life and the healthy development
of a little girl growing into an emotionally whole woman.
