It seems when you make a comment about certain groups of people it is always considered a stereotype, but when you say something like, "Middle Eastern people have a different concept of personal space than westerners." It is considered a cultural trait? Can't there be cultural traits for different cultures living in the same area?

For the most part, I love Yahoo Answers however on occasion I've had some people make mean comments. One told me I was ugly, another told me I was stupid.

Even in life, I seem to concentrate on the negative comments rather then the positive comments.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/theories about this?

How is it that some people don't care about others? They could care less if something bad happened to somone, as long as it isn't them. What causes this? Is it a condition? Or is it simply the way they are (personality wise?)

Has anyone else been on a jungian journey into the collective unconscious by using the shadow as a metaphor for the primal self that gets repressed by the modern persona and also by using an underground setting and labyrinth office design to represent both the depths of the psyche and the dungeon-like isolation of our increasingly mechanistic society which prevents people from finding satisfying work or meaningful connections with others?

I have an adult child that may have this condition. I know its diagnosed and treated by a psychiatrist. Can a person with borderline personality disorder really not remember the episodes of it and the mood swings and intense anger? During these episodes my child often threatens suicide, although she has never tried it and can be both physically and verbally abusive. She claims to not remember her behavior the next day. I never know when the mood swings will hit her and she can be fun and great to be around one day and a complete nightmare the next. How do I cope as her parent and how do I help her beyond being supportive of her seeing a psychiatrist to get help?

Do you find yourself using words you've never used before, wondering where you heard them, and then realize they came from one of your friends?
Walking like that person, too?

Have you ever noticed that? It's been the bane of both my father's and my existence almost since birth. A related phenomenon is the simple observation that for many of us, we can more vividly recall certain memories from our childhood than we can recall memories from even just the previous day. Now what's up with -that-?

My wife never told me her feelings or expressed her needs. I thought she was happy until she ran off with a coworker after 14 years together. My friends told me that surely she talked to you about not being happy. And no she never did its like she internally exploded and is rebelling against me. what gives?

Pornstars seem to violently defy socially accepted sexual ethics and behaviour. They are willing to go to any or all extremes on camera for money. I am curious about any psychological analysis of pornstars; i.e. what makes them so willing to act as they act on camera? and how are newbie stars so open even in their debut films?

This is going to be really really long and I'm sorry, but serious answerers please post...

I'm 15, and throughout my life I have had trouble making friends....I'm okay in social situations soemtimes i guess, but when i was really little 3-4, i would always lock myself in my bedroom when we had people over ....this also happened when i was 9 when my mom threw me a birthday party....

I feel like I can't love anyone, or feel love. I just don't really want it either....I hate the words "I love you"...I guess I care about some people, like my mom....but it pains me to say I love you...and i feeel absolultely no emotion when someone tells me that, even my mom.

Is this a pyschotic or mental disorder??? please help! I will probably attend a counselor soon but I would like responses with people of knowledge...
