A Study Finds That in the Prehistoric Period, Women Were Hunters, and This Sheds a Whole New Light on Gender Roles

Humans began hunting over 2 million years ago and while men actively participated , research suggests that women were involved too .

Do you agree with the study and believe that prehistoric women could have been hunters ?
If not , what makes you think otherwise ?

Humans began hunting over 2 million years ago and while men actively participated, research suggests that women were involved too. In fact, experts have found evidence indicating that a woman’s role in prehistoric hunting could be more prominent than we ever imagined.
The results of the finding have us at Bright Side intrigued and we’d love to share them with our audience.
The common belief can be a lie.
Anthropologists decided to find out who did more hunting in prehistoric times and if women were a part of it too, contrary to popular belief. They studied a 9,000-year-old ancient burial site in Peru called Wilamaya Patjxa and the bone structures discovered there.
Women could hunt as teenagers.
Among the remains of other hunters were those of a 17-19-year-old female. Her hunting toolkit, containing various expertly crafted hunting stone weapons, was found beside her. By how the tools were found and their condition, the experts concluded that she must have been carrying them in a leather bag.
Traces of them were found spread across America.
Based on their findings and the evidence that already exists, the researchers saw a pattern and reviewed several other burial grounds in America. They found 429 individuals from 107 sites, 27 of them were sexed. Surprisingly, 11 of them were female hunters.
Hunting wasn’t just for men.

The Matrix — the Ying-Yang Symbol
In The Matrix, the way Neo and Morpheus attack each other with the same move, their clothes, and head/hair form the Ying-Yang symbol. In Chinese philosophy, this represents the concept of dualism, describing how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary.
Pirates of the Caribbean — the compass
In Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, when Commodore Norrington holds Jack’s compass, it points toward Jack and not Elizabeth, subtlety implying that he values his duty over romance. The compass always points at what the person holding it wants the most.
Casino Royale — the actress
In Casino Royale (2006), one of the poker players is played by actress Tsai Chin. She once played a minor Bond girl in You Only Live Twice (1967).
The Truman Show — the cameras
In The Truman Show, cameras show up in very obvious places, yet Truman (Jim Carrey) doesn’t notice them. Examples include a camera on Truman’s wedding ring and on Truman’s neighbor’s trash can, which the neighbor hides while Truman is distracted by the neighbor’s dog.
The Shape of Water — the shoes
In The Shape of Water, a few minutes into the movie we can see Elisa admiring a pair of red shoes. Later, in the scene right after embracing her relationship with the Amphibian Man, you can see her wearing those red shoes. This is probably a sign of her gaining confidence and feeling empowered.
Pirates of the Caribbean — Jack Sparrow’s father’s ring
In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Captain Teague, portrayed by Keith Richards, is wearing a silver skull ring. This wasn’t a prop made for the movie, it’s a real ring that belongs to Keith Richards. He received it for his birthday in 1978 and has worn it ever since.
The Santa Clause — the elves
In The Santa Clause, when Charlie is at school you can see an elf behind him in class, meaning they were keeping tabs on him and his dad.
Maleficent — the magic
Maleficent’s magic changes color. When she is good, her magic is gold and when she is evil, her magic is green.
The Chronicles of Narnia — the fur of the White Witch
In The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the White Witch has Aslan shaved before she kills him. She is then seen wearing his fur into battle.
Parasite — Mr. Park’s company
In Parasite, Mr. Park’s company is called “Another Brick.” This is a reference to Pink Floyd. They were Bong Joon Ho’s (the director of the film) favorite band in college.
Alice in Wonderland — The Mad Hatter’s phrase
The Mad Hatter’s phrases are not as mad as they might seem. The phrase “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” “I think he is referencing Edgar Allan Poe,” Depp said, referring to the haunted author of The Raven, which was published in 1845. By the way, it was Depp’s idea to add the orange spots on the face of his character. In the 18th and 19th centuries, mercury was used in the manufacture of felt, and hatters often fell victim to mercury poisoning, which left an orange tint on the skin.
Bonus: 10 Things I Hate About You — the poem scene
At the end of 10 Things I Hate About You, Julia Stiles started crying when she was reading a poem. Actually, this wasn’t in the script. In one of her interviews, the actress revealed why she was so emotional during this scene, “But [when it came to filming] I never expected that I was going to start crying. I don’t know why I did, whether it connected to something going on at the time, or if I was just overwhelmed by the whole experience of making my first big movie.”


brightside--2020-12-04--10 Obvious Movie Bloopers That Many of Us May Have Missed

While filming , movie directors try their best to pay as much attention to the details as possible , so that the flick looks plausible .
Sometimes hundreds or even thousands of people work on one project .
But despite all that , it ’ s impossible for them to take into account every tiny detail .
It ’ s good if the blooper is small like an accidentally misplaced interior item .
However , sometimes bigger mishaps appear during the filmmaking process that actually very few people are able to notice .
Not only does Bright Side editorial like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like to highlight slightly noticeable and obvious bloopers .
Here are the ones that ended up on our list .
In the scene , where Ian ( Jeremy Renner ) covers Louise ( Amy Adams ) with a blanket , viewers can notice it clinging to something .
Since the action takes place in an open field , we think that it was probably a microphone that a “ boom-operator ” was holding using a special stand .
The moment when the velociraptor is opening the kitchen door , you can notice one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appear behind the door molding holding the raptor ’ s right side .
Perhaps that ’ s how they had to keep the mannequin balanced .
The “ Apple ” company only held an IPO ( public offering ) in 1980 which means that there was only an opportunity to invest in it at that moment .
The scene in the movie takes place sometime between 1974-1976 when Forrest gets a letter from Apple Computers .
In the scene , he says that he has already invested funds in “ some kind of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the computer and there is a mug sitting next to him that is turned upside down .
You can understand it because the graphic that says “ Stark ” is upside-down .
When the camera shows the close-up mug in the actor ’ s hand , it is already in the right position .

However, sometimes bigger mishaps appear during the filmmaking process that actually very few people are able to notice.
Not only does Bright Side editorial like to watch movies, but we also like to highlight slightly noticeable and obvious bloopers. Here are the ones that ended up on our list.
1. Arrival (2016)
In the scene, where Ian (Jeremy Renner) covers Louise (Amy Adams) with a blanket, viewers can notice it clinging to something. Since the action takes place in an open field, we think that it was probably a microphone that a “boom-operator” was holding using a special stand.
2. Jurassic Park (1993)
The moment when the velociraptor is opening the kitchen door, you can notice one of the crew member’s hands appear behind the door molding holding the raptor’s right side. Perhaps that’s how they had to keep the mannequin balanced.
3. Forrest Gump (1994)
The “Apple” company only held an IPO (public offering) in 1980 which means that there was only an opportunity to invest in it at that moment. The scene in the movie takes place sometime between 1974-1976 when Forrest gets a letter from Apple Computers. In the scene, he says that he has already invested funds in “some kind of fruit company.”
4. Iron Man (2008)
Tony Stark is working at the computer and there is a mug sitting next to him that is turned upside down. You can understand it because the graphic that says “Stark” is upside-down. When the camera shows the close-up mug in the actor’s hand, it is already in the right position.
5. Kate & Leopold (2001)
In the episode where Darci (Natasha Lyonne) is coming up to the elevator to press the button, it can be clearly seen that she intentionally puts her index finger several inches to the right.
6. Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
When Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Peter Parker (Tom Holland) are in the spaceship discussing the seriousness of the situation, the frame changes, and it can be clearly seen how both the background and Spider-Man’s hairdo change.
7. Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)
Dr. Julia Harris (Jennifer Aniston) enters the room wearing trousers. After a little while, all the participants of the scene are sitting on chairs and we can see that Julia is now wearing pantyhose.
8. That Awkward Moment (2014)
It’s all about the scene where Ellie (Imogen Poots) is sitting in the cafe and talking to Jason (Zac Efron). At some moment, viewers might notice that the reflection in the window doesn’t coincide with their head movements. It’s obvious that several frames were laid on top of one another.
9. Tesla (2020)
According to the plot, the characters are in an open field during a storm. However, during lightning strikes, the shadow of the actors is cast on the wall. This scene was probably filmed in a studio, rather than outdoors.
10. The Gentlemen (2019)
Rosalind (Michelle Dockery) goes from the car to the garage and the camera shows her feet in Louboutins. When she leaves the office and her husband (Matthew McConaughey) watches her, she is wearing different shoes.

brightside--2020-12-04--Why We Become Out of Breath When Taking the Stairs (It’s Not Because We Are Out of Shape)

Skipping the elevator and taking the stairs instead can be a tough decision , and physically challenging physically too .
Becoming breathless can happen to all of us , even if we work out a lot .
Luckily , it doesn ’ t necessarily mean we should work out even more or that we have health issues .
We at Bright Side sometimes feel that we ’ re really out of shape when we get winded after climbing the stairs .
But it ’ s probably nothing to worry about !
Just consider contacting a doctor if you experience any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the first point .
You might have health issues .
There are some things you should be on the lookout for if you get winded after going up a flight of stairs .
It can be nothing to be concerned about .
But if you also get chest pain , swollen feet or ankles , or if you start coughing , you should call your doctor , because those could be signs you have health problems .
Before starting our workout , we usually do a warm-up .
This is important because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gradually increase blood flow and oxygen , and lower the risk of getting injured .
And when you start walking up the stairs , you quickly go from resting to being a lot more physically active , without warming up beforehand .
That ’ s why your body will need to work harder to have more oxygen delivered to your muscles in a very short period of time , and your heart rate will increase .
So it ’ s only natural that you feel winded afterward .
Stair climbing uses a energy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do .
It ’ s called the phosphagen energy system .
It ’ s used when your muscles need a lot of energy during short-term , but intense activities .
There are certain molecules that are needed for this system to work , but there aren ’ t a lot of them .
So it ’ s normal to get winded faster after a very short bout of intense activity , than after a longer and steadier cardio session .
You have 2 types of muscle fibers — slow-twitch and fast-twitch .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can endure long-distance running , thanks to the slow-twitch fibers , which get fatigued less easily but don ’ t have a lot of power and strength .
When you walk up the stairs , you need fast-twitch muscles for those quick explosive movements , but they tire out faster .
Someone who doesn ’ t work out a lot might not be out of breath as fast as someone who does .
If you ’ ve trained your endurance by running , you ’ ve been using your slow-twitch fibers more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ However , when you climb the stairs , those short bursts of activity require anaerobic metabolism .
This produces carbon dioxide and hydrogen , which endurance athletes are more sensitive to than other people .
That ’ s why it can be easier for someone who doesn ’ t exercise a lot to go up the stairs , than for someone who does endurance training .
How you can make stair climbing easier Simply try using the stairs more often .
Because we don ’ t do it very much , it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t used to doing that kind of physical activity , and it might be more difficult than we expect .
So if we do it more often , we ’ ll train to be able to do just that .
You can also try exercises like sprints , jumps , or other explosive movements that require sudden bursts of energy , like when you ’ re climbing stairs .
Another thing you can do is train your glutes and legs by doing squats and lunges .

Skipping the elevator and taking the stairs instead can be a tough decision, and physically challenging physically too. Becoming breathless can happen to all of us, even if we work out a lot. Luckily, it doesn’t necessarily mean we should work out even more or that we have health issues.
We at Bright Side sometimes feel that we’re really out of shape when we get winded after climbing the stairs. But it’s probably nothing to worry about! Just consider contacting a doctor if you experience any of the symptoms we’re mentioning in the first point.

But if you also get chest pain, swollen feet or ankles, or if you start coughing, you should call your doctor, because those could be signs you have health problems.
You aren’t warmed up.
Before starting our workout, we usually do a warm-up. This is important because it helps warm up the muscles, gradually increase blood flow and oxygen, and lower the risk of getting injured. And when you start walking up the stairs, you quickly go from resting to being a lot more physically active, without warming up beforehand. That’s why your body will need to work harder to have more oxygen delivered to your muscles in a very short period of time, and your heart rate will increase. So it’s only natural that you feel winded afterward.
It’s not like regular cardio.
Stair climbing uses a different energy system than the cardio exercises we usually do. It’s called the phosphagen energy system. It’s used when your muscles need a lot of energy during short-term, but intense activities. There are certain molecules that are needed for this system to work, but there aren’t a lot of them. So it’s normal to get winded faster after a very short bout of intense activity, than after a longer and steadier cardio session.
Your muscles get fatigued faster.
You have 2 types of muscle fibers — slow-twitch and fast-twitch. If you’re an experienced runner, you can endure long-distance running, thanks to the slow-twitch fibers, which get fatigued less easily but don’t have a lot of power and strength. When you walk up the stairs, you need fast-twitch muscles for those quick explosive movements, but they tire out faster.
Someone who doesn’t work out a lot might not be out of breath as fast as someone who does.
If you’ve trained your endurance by running, you’ve been using your slow-twitch fibers more and they rely on aerobic metabolism. However, when you climb the stairs, those short bursts of activity require anaerobic metabolism. This produces carbon dioxide and hydrogen, which endurance athletes are more sensitive to than other people. That’s why it can be easier for someone who doesn’t exercise a lot to go up the stairs, than for someone who does endurance training.
How you can make stair climbing easier
Simply try using the stairs more often. Because we don’t do it very much, it’s understandable that our bodies aren’t used to doing that kind of physical activity, and it might be more difficult than we expect. So if we do it more often, we’ll train to be able to do just that. You can also try exercises like sprints, jumps, or other explosive movements that require sudden bursts of energy, like when you’re climbing stairs. Another thing you can do is train your glutes and legs by doing squats and lunges.

We at Bright Side think everyone should wear whatever they want, and these 15 famous guys prove it by laughing in the face of stereotypes and rocking beautiful skirts and dresses in public.
1. Vin Diesel
The Fast and Furious star is confident enough in his masculinity that he had no issue wearing a cool leather skirt to an award show in 2003. It’s likely that he was being respectful, because the event took place in Scotland, but we’re willing to bet that he more than enjoyed his look that night.
2. Jared Leto
We’ve been lucky enough to see Jared Leto in a dress or a skirt on several occasions and he seems to take pride in it. The extravagant celebrity once tweeted: “Real Men Wear Skirts,” and we wholeheartedly agree.
3. Gerard Butler
The famous actor isn’t unfamiliar with skirts, which he mostly owes to his Scottish roots, but he prefers to not wear them very often. Butler revealed that wearing a traditional kilt comes with some requirements, which once caused him to flash a few people at his sister’s wedding. Looking good always comes with a price.
4. Billy Porter
The Pose star takes every award show appearance as an opportunity to express himself and make others feel brave enough to follow his lead: “My goal is to be a walking piece of political art every time I show up. To challenge expectations. What is masculinity? What does that mean?”
5. Kanye West
As a designer himself, it’s not surprising that Kanye decided to try something new with his wardrobe, and went with a leather skirt for one of his performances in 2014. He kept it relatively safe by having tight black jeans underneath, but we certainly appreciate the effort.
6. Jaden Smith
Jaden’s motivation for normalizing skirts is unbelievably pure: “In 5 years, when a kid goes to school wearing a skirt, he won’t get beat up and kids won’t get mad at him. It just doesn’t matter. I’m taking the brunt of it so that later on, my kids and the next generations of kids will all think that certain things are normal that weren’t expected before my time.”
7. Kyle MacLachlan
MacLachlan once sported a kilt during a New York event celebrating the traditional Scottish attire. Whoever asked the actor to participate is a very smart person, as the Twin Peaks star certainly has the perfect calves for it.
8. Keiynan Lonsdale
The young actor once received a criticizing tweet for wearing skirts and dresses, which said: “Dude, you gotta stop wearing dresses... Come on!!!!” Lonsdale was having none of it and replied to the criticism by writing: “Dude, you gotta stop tweeting me about it and just go try one on yourself. It’s only a piece of clothing and it’s fun.” Keep doing you, Keiynan.
9. Marc Jacobs
The famous designer doesn’t shy away from occasionally wearing skirts and dresses and even made them a staple in his wardrobe. As Jacobs explains: “I discovered how nice [skirts] felt to wear. They’re comfortable, and wearing them makes me happy, so I bought more. And now I just can’t stop wearing them.”
10. Brandon Wilson
Wilson is just starting his career in Hollywood, but he’s already doing it right. The actor showed up in a skirt to a premiere of his movie The Way Back, starring Ben Affleck. What made his choice even cooler is that the movie is about basketball and Brandon wasn’t afraid to sprinkle in some femininity along with his on-screen sporty persona.
11. 2 Chainz
Before Kanye wowed audiences with his leather skirt, rapper 2 Chainz was already not a stranger to a similar outfit himself. He looked very natural in a matching skirt and T-shirt look during the 2013 BET Awards in L.A., and we’re definitely feeling inspired.
12. Ewan McGregor
Yet another Scottish actor, Ewan McGregor, has a lot of respect for the traditional kilt and admits to wearing them from time to time: “I wear kilts for special occasions like weddings. It’s our dinner jacket.” He’s even learned to style 2 different types of outfits featuring a kilt, as we can see in the photos above: a more traditional number, and a dressy-casual one.
13. P. Diddy
In 2010, while performing in Glasgow, Diddy knew exactly how to please his Scottish fans. The rapper donned a traditional kilt, which made for a super-stylish outfit when paired with diamond necklaces and a baseball cap. We’re sensing a trendsetter!
14. Jonathan Van Ness
As one of the stars of the makeover show Queer Eye, Van Ness loves to experiment with his red carpet looks and often shines in daring dresses. Jonathan is breaking gender norms one outfit at a time, and we’re totally here for it.
15. Misha Collins
Even though Collins was just messing around on the Supernatural set, we still loved how he popped in his princess dress. He should totally look into wearing dresses in public, because we just love an open-minded king who looks great in pink.

Sometimes, a movie doesn’t have to win an Oscar for Best Costume Design to become memorable. Very often, the costumes of characters are planned really meticulously, but there are times when something really mysterious about their clothes appears accidentally.
We at Bright Side found 10 iconic movie costumes where designers were really inventive.
The Truman Show — the robe
In The Truman Show (1998) the old ladies watching the show are wearing the same robe as Meryl because everything in The Truman Show is for sale.
The Dark Knight Rises — the mask
In The Dark Knight Rises (2012), Bruce did not wear a mask during the masked ball scene. This is because he considers Batman to be his true identity and “Bruce Wayne” to be his disguise in public. When Selina asked him, “Who are you pretending to be? ” he replied, “Bruce Wayne, eccentric billionaire.”
The Phantom of the Opera — Christine’s dress and hair
In The Phantom of the Opera (2004), Christine has the same hairstyle and hair decorations as Empress Elisabeth of Austria in a famous portrait. Her dress is also similar. This is a normal thing that costume designers do: directly copy from real dresses.
Moulin Rouge! — Satine’s look
In Moulin Rouge!, Nicole Kidman wears a wig throughout the movie. Wavy hair was trendy at the time, so women wore hair extensions. Besides, look at the eyebrows of the actress and the perfect matte color of her face that will become trendy at the beginning of the 20th century. The film is set around 1899 to 1900.
Pirates of the Caribbean — the pirate’s eye
Mackenzie Crook, who played the one-eyed pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean, had a hard time during the shooting process. He had to wear 2 contact lenses on top of one another, to portray his character’s wooden eye. He said: “It’s uncomfortable but not painful. And it helps the character because, without it, I’m just any other pirate.”
Sleepy Hollow — Katrina’s dress
At the end of Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (1999) Christina Ricci’s dress is made to look like the suit that Beetlejuice wears, from Beetlejuice (1988), another Tim Burton film.
Back to the Future — Marty’s badge
In Back to the Future, Marty is wearing an unusual badge that is a logo from a Soviet art and design exhibition that was held at London’s Hayward Gallery from February to April in 1971. The thing is, at the time, many directors, including Steven Spielberg (the executive producer of Back to the Future) and George Lucas, really respected the freedom of expression in Soviet cinema. Maybe, they used the badge to show what they thought, even though they were limited by the constraints of the genre.
Enola Holmes — Helena Bonham Carter’s jacket
In Enola Holmes, Helena Bonham Carter is wearing a jacket with a pansy motif. Pansies are said to represent loving feelings or to symbolize “think of me” in the Victorian language of flowers.
The Queen’s Gambit — Elizabeth’s last look
In the final scene, Elizabeth is taking a walk around Moscow wearing white clothing. If you look closely, you will see that she looks like a chess Queen. Even the shape of her beret is reminiscent of a chess piece.
Pulp Fiction — Mia’s pants
In Pulp Fiction, Uma Thurman wears pants that are incredibly short. This was done to stay within budget. All the black pants that the costume designer loved and that were within the budget were too short for Uma Thurman. So, they made a decision to shorten the pants even more, even though capri pants weren’t popular. And after the film was released, they became popular again.

On average, gamers spend more than 6 hours a week gaming. While playing too much can cause your eyes to strain and trigger migraines, when played occasionally, gaming can actually contribute to a lot of health benefits.
Experts have found that playing games may be good for our health. Bright Side made a list of all the key points from the study.
How the study was conducted
To figure out whether gaming improves our mental health or has a positive effect on our daily lives, 33 people from age 55 to 75 were selected. They were divided into 3 groups. Group one was asked to play Mario 64 for 30 minutes a day, group 2 was given piano lessons, and group 3 was not assigned any task.
The results revealed that gaming might be good for us.
After 6 months, they were asked to take an MRI scan. According to the report, only the individuals who belonged to group one — those with the task of gaming — experienced an increase in the gray matter of their brain. Their short-term memory improved, as well as their mental health.
There’s more research to back up the claim.
Back in 2014, a series of similar studies were conducted by the same researchers with young adults as their subjects. They were asked to play 3D puzzles and logic games and they too showed an improvement in their brain because of gaming.
Another study done by the American Association of Psychology revealed that playing games that are easy can improve a person’s mood, relieve anxiety, and calm them down.
Here’s what gaming can do for you.
Video games can help in building problem-solving skills in children.
They can help you relieve pain caused by chronic illness.
They might even make you smarter.
Games like Tetris can help patients with trauma.

Chilly temperatures tend to keep us indoors and make us more vulnerable to viruses and infections, but besides these winter ailments, the cold weather can affect our bodies in a number of surprising ways. And not all of them might be harmful to our health, in fact, it’s easier for us to keep weight off during the coldest time of the year.
We at Bright Side love learning new things. And we did some research to find out how our bodies might react to the seasonal drop in temperature.
1. Your tongue works more than usual.
Freezing temperatures make your lips feel dry, and you’re tempted to lick your lips often to moisturize them. Although it might give you temporary relief, this habit can actually make your lips chapped. Saliva evaporates very quickly, leaving your lips drier than before. It also contains lots of enzymes that are too harsh for your delicate lips and might cause them to feel uncomfortable.
2. Your teeth might hurt.
If you have sensitive teeth, you might experience sharp, piercing pain when it’s too cold outside. Cold air can reach the nerves deep inside the tooth and cause your teeth to hurt. Dentists recommend breathing through your nose when outdoors, and wrapping a scarf around your mouth to keep it warm and protect your sensitive teeth from the winter cold.
3. Your blood sugar may increase.
Cold weather encourages your body to release stress hormones that boost your blood sugar levels. For many, as the temperature drops, blood sugar also increases because when it’s cold, we’re less motivated to go outside and exercise. Because physical activity lowers your blood sugar, doctors recommend working out at home in the winter to keep your sugar level under control.
4. You could lose weight.
While it is true that many people gain weight in the winter, it is also easier for the body to burn calories when it’s cold. When our bodies are adapting to cold temperatures, we produce heat and burn extra energy. When we’re shivering to adapt to the cold, we are burning more calories to generate heat.
5. You could get more wrinkles.
We can’t fully blame winter for more wrinkles, but our skin is more vulnerable to damage during the cold season. Because there’s a drop in humidity in the air during the cold months, your skin begins to dry out. It can’t retain enough water, and as a result, it becomes dry and is prone to more wrinkles.
6. Your eyesight may worsen.
Our eyes can be more at risk in the winter than in the summer. We often forget to wear UV-blocking sunglasses in the cold season, but the sun reflecting off the snow can seriously damage our eyes. The thin layer of tear film that covers our eyes is very sensitive to dry air and wind that can make it painfully dry. Doctors recommend using artificial tears in the winter when you’re outside.
7. You may get dehydrated more easily.
During the winter months, we rarely feel thirsty and often forget to drink enough water. Because we sweat less in cold weather, we tend to drink less, thinking we’re hydrated enough. But feeling less thirsty doesn’t mean your body needs less water, and it’s important to drink the right amount of water that your body needs daily.

Insecure behavior is toxic and can make our lives miserable. If we don’t notice low self-esteem in time, we might miss a lot of opportunities, or it might even take us on a downward spiral. The good news is that there are certain signs of a lack of confidence that may help you recognize it in your own behavior. Read this article to find out more about them.
We at Bright Side believe that mental health is important. That’s why it’s good to learn the 8 signs of low confidence to overcome it before it causes any trouble.
1. You’re excessively positive.
While it’s great to stay positive, sometimes people with low self-esteem might hide their emotional insecurities behind their smiles. Sometimes people use it as a distraction from something that’s bad. Like when you call your friend who had a tough day — if they don’t lack self-confidence, they’ll talk about their issues honestly. If they have low self-esteem, on the other hand, they’ll focus on the good things that happened, distracting themselves from dealing with real problems.
2. You want a perfect result each time.
Perfectionism can be one of the signs of low self-esteem. A person who lacks self-esteem can’t accept the results they get and it causes them to get stuck with a task for a long time, trying to get an ideal outcome. For instance, a person with low self-esteem will feel anxious that the room won’t be clean enough and guests won’t be satisfied. So instead of spending 30 minutes cleaning up, these people will spend hours making sure that everything is shining.
3. You can’t accept feedback.
If your self-esteem is low, when someone reviews your work, you might think that the issues are in you and that the feedback is about you personally, not about the task that you’ve completed. As a result, feedback can be very hard to accept. The next time someone gives you feedback, try to focus on the valuable information that is given to you, like what things can be done better. And make sure your low self-esteem won’t let you deny your merits when someone praises you.
4. It’s important for you to share your achievements.
Sharing an upbeat side of our life has become especially easy with the help of social media. But keep in mind, if you see someone actively showcasing the good things in their life, it might be a sign of low confidence. They might just be seeking approval and acceptance — and their feelings depend on it. While it’s okay to share good things with others, it shouldn’t boost your feelings of self-esteem. Our family and friends love us independently of our recent promotion, fashion sense, and hobbies.
5. You can’t say no.
Sometimes, people with low self-esteem have no second thoughts about hopping on a bus across town to babysit their friend’s kids, even after a long, taxing day at work. It’s great if you want to help others, but if people are using you up, it may be a sign of unstable self-esteem, and it’s time to put a stop to it. Every time you help someone else at the expense of yourself, your mind thinks that what you want is unimportant. Imagine how your life would change if you stopped agreeing to do all these unnecessary favors. Not only would people start to respect you and your boundaries, but you would also have a better sense of self-worth. Plus, think about all that extra free time you’ll have to enjoy the things that you love and deserve.
6. You need reassurance about everything.
Some people with low self-esteem can’t handle short-term anxiety, so they’re constantly asking others for approval and support. Sometimes it might relieve your worries, but in the long-term, it’s signaling that you can’t handle things by yourself, as your self-confidence is low. For example, if someone just bought new clothes and feels the urge to share pictures with others to ask how they look in them, it might be a signal of low self-esteem.
7. You often resort to catastrophic thinking.
We all have a friend who overthinks things and irrationally worries about worst-scenario situations. Even though this trait is quite widespread, these people might be struggling with low self-esteem. Their partner might simply be running 30 minutes late from work, but a person with low self-esteem is already imagining that they might be cheating or that they got into a car accident. Catastrophic thinking is a very toxic trait that needs to be managed. Start thinking about the best-case scenarios first and try to evaluate the probability of these less-desirable outcomes.
8. You tend to blame others.
We believe that being critical is important, but sometimes it can be a signal of poor self-esteem. Next time, make sure you don’t use criticism to make yourself feel better. The sense of one’s well-being should be based on a healthy headspace. If you use criticism toward a person who doesn’t deserve it, it will make you feel guilty in the long run, which will only worsen any insecurities.
Do you feel confident enough about yourself? What makes you think that someone has self-esteem problems?

About half a billion girls and women on a global scale can’t afford to get period products nor do they have the facility to take care of their feminine hygiene, which can lead to different medical problems and complications. So Scotland became the first country to fight it. The Scottish government made tampons and pads free for everyone on the 24th of November 2020.

In fact, in one survey it was found that 72% of women think these products should be provided for free, and 69% think that they are too expensive. 1 in 4 women struggles to choose between buying food or feminine hygiene products.
