What motivates it? What social and personality factors are correlated with it? Is it related to psychopathology?

Academic answers with links to researches would be very much appreciated. Personal theories are welcome too...

Up to this point, I've been psychologically healthy enough to not be a perfectionist. I have high standards, but I don't waste time doing things that don't matter perfectly.

It seems like you have to be perfect to compete these days. Have had perfect grades ten years ago, had all the right career choices and companies, know all the right people, and do and say all the right things.

Hello? sorry, I'm not that shallow, but I have to eat too.

So I almost wonder if it wouldn't be worth changing my personality and becoming a psychologically crippled perfectionist. At least with all the money I'd make, I'd be able to afford therapy.

I recently found out (on my own, no one told me) that my bro want's to pull out his eyebrows. I don't understand, what is this about? I do know my mother is worried about it, so i don't understand. With things that concerned her she wrote next to the fact the i cut (different story though). So, apparently it is a big thing. I don't know which of my bros it is, though i suspect it is my youngest cause he is the one seeing a counselor right now and is the one w/ some big issues. He is like 8 right now. I don't understand why he would be doing this, what is the psychology backing for this, is he insecure, punishing himself, what? I do know that he has some sever phobia things (terrified of floods, earthquakes, natural disasters), he also has self confidence issues i think, and for his age he is especially whinny and very very annoying. anyways, what's w/ the eyebrow thing? Any thoughts?

Hi.
What are some examples and case studies on female discrimination, in different countries of the world and in different situations? Eg, economic aspect, political aspect, socio-cultural aspect.

Thanks.

I walked in and caught my husband and best friend butt naked in between the sheets. I have stayed for 2 years with him for our 2 small kids sake but I have not been able to trust him or fall back in love with him. He is a good dad but I had always heard he ran around on me in high school and I swore if I ever caught him I would leave. We are 25 years old now shouldn't he have known better??

What is the best & worst of each style?

It seem that almost everything you do, you are instructed at a very young age, child, youth, teenager, young adult, etc. by peers, family, teachers, police, etc. to be polite, kind, show respect.

Regarding the law, i think for the most part, the laws are simple and straight forward. dont steal, dont punch, etc. I have no problem with those.

But what i have found with society, is that being polite, land you at the back of the line for just about anything. If you are aggressive, rude, loud, etc. that will get you what you want with the cell phone operator, will get you out of a parking ticket in court, will keep people from cutting in front of you in line.

People that dont do this, end up paying full charges, at the back of the line, and let people cut in front of them, and in general being taken advantage of.

Any opinions on this?

that when a person becomes intoxicated, they speak what is usually suppressed in their minds, in other words, they say what they secretly think of others, true feelings become verbal. or is it just the alcohol talking ? No comic answers, please, I`m serious about this matter.

Why do so many people seem to be more able to form an emotional connection to strangers in cyberspace than to real people they meet or work with etc. Why are we more willing to open ourselves up online?

Sociology tells us that men rape because they want power over the girl. Their strongest example is when they point to some rapists who rape elderly women. I'm sure this argument is true for a few rapists, but is it true for the majority?

I cannot bring myself to believe that the majority of rapes are from men seeking power rather than sex. Being a male myself, I can tell you that if I were to rape someone, it would be because I want to have sex with a really hot girl, not because I want to dominate some 85 year old.
