Post 1: A Peculiar Character: Sheldon Cooper

Sheldon Cooper was a protagonist character in American TV show called Big Bang Theory. He was a peculiar smart physicist at Caltech. His mother was very authoritarian woman who always directed Sheldon's behavior. His father was a drunk person, who was probably verbally abusing Sheldon's mother. Even though Sheldon was not very friendly, he lived with a roommate who worked at the same university. Later, Sheldon had a girlfriend, Amy, who was also smart scientist just like Sheldon. She worked on Sheldon to help him with his various obsessions.

Sheldon's one of the desires was to win a Nobel Prize in his academic lifetime. He is an intrinsically motivated person. He always saw physic in his everyday life with his extreme abstract thinking capacity. His mom praised Sheldon due to his extraordinary smartness and motivation for physic interest. Thus, he tended to think that he was the smartest person on the planet. This thought of him made him arrogant, which lead him to overlook other people's resources and skills. He was in the range of introvert closer to the extreme point. He was not able to communicate and connect with another human being except his mother and grandmother. Sheldon seemed addicted to live with his roommate (Leonard) and his neighbor across the door (Penny), this seemed more like an obsession rather than a connection or friendship. Sheldon was an obsessive person, which probably made him to persist with challenging physicist tasks for hours. He was also obsessed with keeping his schedule exactly the same everyday including the preciseness of the time. He always wore same type of clothes for years, sat at the same part of the couch, and watched same several movies weekly over and over again.
