Why do women think other women are jealous/intimidated by their looks/success etc? As a woman in my 30s I don’t recall a single moment I was ever intimidated by another woman. I’m sure I’m not an exception right?

Idk, people are a trip. I got ghosted by a woman who called herself my "best friend" recently 🤯

Generally, I don't think other women are intimidated or jealous of me. I have close friendships with women, appreciate the love and emotional support I get from them (aside from 👻)

I was just thinking about this recently. I think it was some TV I was watching where a women said this.
I think this is just the story they tell themselves about why people dislike them.

I've only ever met 1 woman who was so pretty it was intimidating, and the intimidation didn't survive my interactions with her because she's a nice person.

OP - You're not the only exception, but there are definitely people (not just women) who are jealous of others for the reasons you described. Even if you're not aware, there are most likely people who dislike you for those reasons.

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work. There’s a school of thought that says that men are “friends” outside of work with their coworkers so they are more likely to lift each other at work. Women however are more likely to separate their work friends and their social friends. I think I fall in this group. Cont in comment
