8 things in life genuinely classy women always keep to themselves

There’s a certain aura around genuinely classy women. It’s not just about what they do, but also about what they keep to themselves.

The difference lies in subtlety. Classy women don’t wear all their cards on the table. They understand the power of discretion and privacy, making them enigmatic and attractive.

There are eight secrets that I, like other classy women, always keep to ourselves.

In this article, I’ll share these secrets with you. But remember, the essence of being classy isn’t just about keeping things to yourself, it’s about how you carry yourself while doing so.

Let’s get started. 

1) Personal relationships

Genuinely classy women understand the value of privacy, especially when it comes to personal relationships.

Now, this doesn’t mean they’re secretive. But they do hold a firm belief that certain aspects of their relationships, whether romantic, family, or friendships, are not for public consumption.

As a relationship expert, I may share tips and advice on maintaining healthy relationships. But you won’t find me spilling the intimate details of my own relationships.

Why? Because classy women know that relationships are sacred. Sharing every detail with the world can often lead to unnecessary scrutiny and judgement.

If you’re striving to be a classy woman, remember – some things are best kept to yourself. This not only maintains the sanctity of your personal life but also gives you the space to nurture your relationships away from the public eye.

2) Financial Status

Money matters are another realm that genuinely classy women prefer to keep under wraps.

As a classy woman myself, I’ve always adhered to the principle of being modest about my financial status. It’s not something I discuss openly, not because it’s a taboo, but because it’s personal.

In the words of the legendary Audrey Hepburn, “Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.”

Elegance isn’t about flaunting your wealth or possessions; it’s about how you carry yourself and how you treat others.

Regardless of whether they’re a millionaire or just making ends meet, truly classy women understand the value of maintaining an air of elegance and humility about their financial status. They know that their worth is not defined by their bank balance, but by their character and grace.

3) Personal Struggles

Life isn’t always a bed of roses. We all face our fair share of struggles and challenges. However, a genuinely classy woman keeps her personal battles to herself.

Now, this is not about suppressing emotions or maintaining a facade of perfection. It’s about dealing with life’s ups and downs with grace and resilience.

I’ve had my share of trials too. And while I don’t shy away from acknowledging them, I believe in overcoming them privately rather than airing them out for the world to see.

In fact, I’ve penned down my thoughts and experiences on maintaining emotional health in relationships in my book Breaking The Attachment: How To Overcome Codependency in Your Relationship. Here, I’ve shared personal insights to help others navigate their relationships better.

But remember, being classy is about maintaining a delicate balance between sharing enough to connect with others, while keeping enough to yourself to maintain your privacy and dignity.

4) Their Opinions

Here’s a counterintuitive secret – genuinely classy women often keep their opinions to themselves. Surprised? Let me explain.

In a world where everyone is quick to voice their thoughts, a classy woman knows the power of silence. This doesn’t mean she doesn’t have opinions; she just chooses when and where to express them.

I’ve learned that not every situation warrants an opinion. Sometimes, it’s more important to listen, understand, and empathize.

Classy women practice the art of mindful communication. They understand that their words have the power to build or break. And so, they choose them wisely.

It’s not about having the last word. It’s about making your words count when they’re spoken. And sometimes, that means keeping your opinions to yourself until the right moment comes.

5) Their Alone Time

Alone time is sacred to a classy woman. It’s her sanctuary, her space for self-reflection and rejuvenation.

I can’t stress enough how important ‘me time’ is. Whether I’m reading a book, taking a walk, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee in silence, my alone time is an integral part of my day.

A genuinely classy woman enjoys her own company and doesn’t feel the need to constantly fill her time with social engagements. She values herself enough to give herself the space she needs.

And the best part? She doesn’t feel the need to explain or justify this to anyone. Because she knows that taking care of herself is not selfish, it’s essential. And that, my dear readers, is one sign of a truly classy woman.

6) Their Failures

Here’s an honest truth – even the classiest of women fail. But they don’t wear their failures on their sleeves.

Failure is a part of life and it’s not something to be ashamed of. But a genuinely classy woman understands that not all failures need to be shared with the world.

I’ve had my own share of failures. And while they’ve played a crucial role in shaping who I am today, they’re not the stories I choose to lead with.

Classy women handle failure with grace. They pick themselves up, learn from their mistakes, and move forward without allowing these setbacks to define them.

It’s not about hiding your failures, it’s about not letting them overshadow your successes. Because no matter how many times you fall, it’s your ability to rise that truly defines you.

7) Their Ambitions

A classy woman has ambitions and dreams, but she doesn’t feel the need to broadcast them to the world.

This doesn’t mean she’s not proud of her goals. On the contrary, she’s fiercely driven. But she also understands the wisdom in the saying by Frank Sinatra, “The best revenge is massive success.”

As Tina Fey, I’ve always believed in working silently towards my ambitions. I’m a firm believer in letting my achievements speak for themselves rather than announcing my plans to the world.

A genuinely classy woman doesn’t seek validation from others for her ambitions. She’s content knowing that she’s working towards her dreams and takes immense satisfaction in every step she takes towards achieving them.

8) Their Insecurities

We all have insecurities, it’s a part of being human. But here’s the raw truth – genuinely classy women keep their insecurities to themselves.

They don’t seek reassurance or validation from others to feel good about themselves. Instead, they work on these insecurities privately, turning them into areas of growth and self-improvement.

Remember, showcasing your insecurities doesn’t make you more relatable. Accepting them, working through them, and rising above them does. Because a truly classy woman knows her worth and doesn’t let her insecurities define her.

Conclusion

Being a genuinely classy woman is not about being perfect. It’s about knowing what to share and what to keep to yourself. It’s about maintaining your dignity and grace, even in the face of adversity.

As Tina Fey, I can tell you that the journey to becoming a classy woman is a constant learning process. It’s about embracing your strengths and working on your weaknesses.

And remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Every woman is unique and so is her journey towards being genuinely classy.
