What is the term for this?

This could happen with a lot of scenarios, but I will just just one. Suppose that you are quiet as a kid and you get labeled as the quiet one. At some point you want to talk, but you feel like people will make such a big deal about it like "HEY, it talked?" So you keep quiet. When you grow up and get around people who don't know you at all, you are free to do what ever, but you are kind of stuck in this lane and it feels weird to change. Since they don't know you, you risk it and talk. You get outside your lane enough that it feels normal. But then, you end up going back to the childhood people and you feel like you have to confine yourself to the exact same lane as before or their world will crumble. What is that called, when you get kind of trapped like that? There is nothing holding you back, but you make your own prison based on what you think others think of you.

I will say it is "labeling" Although we all learned not to care too much about how other people thought about us, in reality, it is hard not to, because we still care about how people judging us, more or less. As I grew older, I learned it is hard to ignore people who are labeling us, but we can put an expiration date on each label. Yeah, I am a silent one, for 3 seconds. Sure! I am the weirdo, for maybe an hour. We can decided how long we want to stay with a label😊

Its a number of factors at play. 1- introvert (the quiet kid) 2- social labeling ( role as the quiet kid) 3- social pressure (the forced adhearence to that label-"it talked"addon bullying is often a factor in maintaning social role.) 4-social role acceptence (keeping quiet not rocking the boat) 5-social anxiety (comfort zone vs new things) 6- social freedom from impossed behavior. Also can be looked at in psycology as Introvert behavior > negetive feed back > self limitaion > personal awareness. (edited)

Childhood wound??? πŸ€” There's something really really stuck in. That label as kid could be the reason why even if the people is new the words doesn't come out, just can't, and maybe it wasn't even the label maybe it was who say it to the kid first...
