		<description><![CDATA[Figuring out who is being honest about themselves is frequently one of the most challenging aspects of meeting someone.  If someone exaggerates what they do for a living or how well they did in school is it a fatal flaw? Should you run the other way or accept that this is  just a normal, but awkward, attempt by that person to  express  personal goals and ambitions?  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we talk about personality the definition most psychologists use goes along the lines of “those relatively enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that distinguish people.”  For a long time it has been thought that personality did not change in any meaningful way once a person hit adulthood.  However, recent work suggests that not only does personality change in adulthood it changes well into old age as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A number of studies have suggested that we perceive others level of distress quite differently based on how many social resources we feel we have at the moment.  In other words when we feel supported by others we tend not to feel as overwhelmed by stressful situations.  ]]></description>
