Pond's, a beauty and skincare brand has come up with a new women related survey which reveils issues led them to a research that explores the internal barriers/inner hesitations that are experienced by even the most confident women in India.
There are multiple faces and names to these self-limiting hesitations, from inner voices to negative self-dialogue that women face as barriers and these beliefs are not born overnight, but are a by-product of years of social conditioning, societal confining norms and of being told what they should or shouldn't do. As a result, women tend to hold back from acting on their thoughts. Almost half (47%) of women hesitated when asking a question in a large group. 4 in 10 (40%) women stop themselves from moving out and living with their boyfriend because they are not sure how others will react. 5 in 10 (52%) also worry that what they say will negatively impact how others see them.
