It's a "normal" vs. "abnormal" issue. No it isn't. At what point do we stop medicalizing every personal decision or personality trait that not everyone agrees with? Don't like noisy crowds? Well you have a social personality disorder! Decide to go for quality rather than quantity in sex? Well you're a freak and have issues!

That is very predominate in this culture as with the Japanese culture. It is astounding all the boxes one is put in. If you do this, then you must also do this, this and this. I do not seen other cultures stereo type as much as America does. Perhaps due to being more of a frontier country one had to determine if you are friend or enemy. It really inhibits the human potential. LOL, also I guess people make money from fixing "disorders." :)
