What it does is explain that people do it and feel the need to do it. Not anything to do with what makes them feel the need.


If you like labels you t certainly not alone. Personally I find them ridiculous in most situations as people are individuals and don't easily fit into boxes.

Mostly what I think they are is a convenient way for people to point at other people for one reason or another. Both from inside and outside the labeled group.

Mostly what I think it comes down to is an attempt to validate one's own opinions.
