Retvika's Post

In many desi families, women are taught early that being “good” means adjusting, staying quiet, and over-compromising. Over time, this turns into self-silencing. When a woman starts setting boundaries, prioritising her dreams, or saying no without guilt, it looks like anger or disrespect—because the system is used to her compliance. This shift is uncomfortable, not because it’s wrong, but because it challenges generational patterns where obedience was rewarded more than authenticity. The goal isn’t to reject family or culture.It’s to stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace.
