Stereotypes.
We all crave perfection, though why isn't what we have already perfect enough for us ? If we're satisfied, is that our perfection in plain view ? I despise the people who change so much to fit in. What happened to no one is perfect ? We go out of our way to satisfy others who mostly do not care as much as society portrays. Being yourself is what you should be, not because I say so as known as compliance, because who enjoys changing their ways to get a long with a certain group ? The social pressures to fit in known as conformity, as a young impressionable person, it's hard to stay where you want to since some things of what we want to be are not accepted. Certain people don't go abroad their set boundaries, since they are afraid what the others in their group will say. People shove us into these categories by a kernel of truth of what they know, not by the whole spectrum. Our minds are far more complex than what we really know and grasp. We decide not to think as much and use our minds, so we use the false thinking and 'we attribute that behavior to the person's stereotypical disposition.' I try not to think of people so harshly, but in a more positive light. I may not come off as someone to think more logical haha. Though someone should try walking around and not stereotyping someone, since stereotyping goes to false and negative generalizations, then go to prejudice[the feelings] and then to the worst of all, discrimination[the actions]. I think we've grown lazy basically.
