SEC13 WK3 "Is drama only for women or is it also for men?"

I must agree with you that women go through severe pain and they face it bravely. I also agree with you that men can withstand a strong blow to the abdomen but they also feel it even if most men don't want to admit that it hits them as hard. There is a saying that men have no pain but that's not true.

Both sexes go through pain and they both feel it but if women show it off there are reasons for that. I believe women are more dramatic and there are reasons behind that. I will give you their reasons in detail.

Are you dramatic by nature? Yes, no, or maybe? Why?

Not much, but yes, I have a problem. I have a problem with obsessive-compulsive disorder. This is a mental disorder when I keep doing the same thing again and again, even without knowing that I am doing it, although it happens once in a blue moon. But when it happens, I feel I am getting only one type of thought that keeps running in my mind.

I go for excessive cleanliness with frequent hand washing and gradually become obsessed with keeping myself excessively clean or start bathing several times a day. Initially, I considered it a hobby of cleanliness, but now I feel like I was involved in a drama, and it began after COVID-19.

Do you think your opposite sex is more dramatic than yours? Why?

I think that's a very good point, and I've always thought about it. Why is women's health always given more importance than men's health? There are institutions and books related to women's health. There is a task force on women's health, but not for men. Therefore, there is actually an issue here.

Health problems can also vary in many ways based on gender. So I am sure that men also have health problems, and their problems are different. But I think that women's problems have become such an important issue that, in cases of depression or any other health-related condition, women appear more worried than men. Women may be more likely to have problems with certain types of categories, either biologically, socially, or both. In that case, they look more dramatic, although their problems are genuine.

Health issues in women are caused by complex mental health issues due to depression and social factors. Today we are discussing the topic of the opposite gender and their dramatic behavior. But I have seen many women with a variety of problems. I actually see it as a multi-angled problem. One is social, the second is cultural, and the third is mental. Women are different from men, and it is biological and social.

There are many ways in which women deal with their problems—the way they talk and solve their problems. That's why I think we should honor these angles for the contribution they make with all their might amid their complexities and not consider their behavior as a drama.

I think this is one reason why women have different mental problems. There are various stages of life at which a woman's health approach can be determined. For instance, their reproductive cycle, or puberty, is a major mode of change for young girls. Before this, women had to face similar problems, especially depression and anxiety.

I think this is an important issue because, in many families, there is no celebration when a girl is born. Along with this, the girl is not given the same respect and preference as the boy, and she is treated very differently.

That's why I think most girls grow up with the idea that they are second-class citizens in the family. The roles they are given are also not very powerful because they are taught to remain quiet and not speak, and they themselves are not aware of their role. In these situations, they are not aware of their own condition, and in that case, they become a little dramatic when they fall sick.

This situation creates complications—not getting respect and finding it difficult to find a place in the family. The problem intensifies when she sees she is not given the necessary security, if no one is listening to her carefully, or if no one believes her. The complexity increases, and she becomes dramatic.

So, everything else remaining equal, a girl or woman is more at risk of having depression or anxiety. Even among urban, educated women, they have to face this and this creates a strange complexity in their lives.

In this matter, some women are better off if their husbands support them or treat them on an equal level. There is a feeling of equality. You know, sometimes the expectations are so high that you get dramatic in either case.

I would love to see how her transition to being a woman brings up health challenges and issues. What I am saying is that we should respect her, validate her, and listen to them.

When you get sick, do you tell everybody, or do you keep it to yourself? Why?

Generally no, but when it comes to cleanliness, sometimes yes. The obsession with cleanliness dominates me to such an extent that even my wife feels troubled by it. In that case, you can call me dramatic for sure.

Are you one of those who adds some drama to the situation, or do you tell things as they really happen?

I guess I suffer from it, as I am very sensitive about cleanliness and feel my hands have become dirty by touching anything. That's why whenever I get an attack on this problem, I keep washing my hands. Now you can call it a drama, but I never let anyone know that I am suffering from anything like this, although I am generally a normal person with my normal diseases.

I don't think what I do comes under the category of a drama but it's a mindset which takes me in its grip at times. I am not sure if I can get rid of it when it happens because it's deeply rooted inside me after I saw so many incidents of death in such a short span of time.

What drama have you created in life or in public? Tell us all about it

I don't think I have ever done that in public because I am not a person who will overreact or show off to get attention. But yes, I remember during school, when I wanted to avoid attending class, I faked a fever and told my mother that I had a high fever. She gave me a thermometer to check the fever, but I knew I had no fever, so what I did was put it in the hot milk, and it broke. My mother told me that I should keep in mind that faking being sick isn't a good idea. From then on, I always kept it in mind and never pretended or did any drama about sickness.

I invite @ridwant, @josepha, and @senehasa to tell us how they feel about this interesting topic.
