main points: - anger at injustice of social pressure to be "perfect" doesn't nullify its impact - "perfect" isn't just appearance; it's also about displaying the "right" attitudes/feelings - feel watched in public spaces - feel scrutinized by friends & peers in evaluatory/forensic manner -> anticipatory dread
