Encountering 'mean girl' energy or toxic behaviors in social environments can be quite draining, especially for women juggling the challenges of adulthood and motherhood. From my personal experience, 'weirdness' that isn't the quirky or funny kind often stems from patterns of distrust, gossip, or exclusion, often termed as 'girl code' violations. These dynamics not only create unnecessary drama but also affect mental well-being. For women over 30, especially moms active in communities like TikTok, setting boundaries has been essential. I found that distancing myself from those exhibiting cheating or manipulative behaviors restores peace and fosters healthier friendships. Being selective about social circles and embracing positivity helps combat the negative 'mean girl' energy prevalent in some groups. Moreover, open conversations about these experiences can uplift others facing similar challenges. Sharing stories helps build solidarity among women who choose to prioritize respect and genuine connection. Learning to recognize and call out these behaviors enables us to create safer, more supportive environments where everyone feels valued and empowered.
