One major complaint I have with the way I was raised and the mormon culture I grew up with was the apparent lack of boundaries. In what society is it normal to discuss in normal conversation a person's underwear? I was reading on another blog recently which perfectly illustrated this fact... here is the link

Individuality is suppressed and this makes people feel comfortable prying into other people's private matters. Being an individual is something I am loving right now. I feel great trying to figure out what I actually want and like in life, not based on other' wants and desire's for me. Young Women in the cult are taught that they each have their own divine nature. In this instance it seems that they actually are encouraging individuality, except for that everyone has it, and you are no different from everyone else! It is also another tool for guilting people into following the norm.
What are some way you felt that your boundaries were crossed as a Mormon?
