You’re right…but I think when you’re constantly told that you can’t do this or that, because “what will the neighbors think?” or people who gossip about you…that can really get to you and make you resent those “people”..

hmm I understand. I guess our parents should set boundaries for us according to what they think is right and not according to “log kya kahein ge”. Log tau hamesha kehte rahein ge, that’s why I said we shouldn’t let our surroundings influence our personalities to such an extent. Besides, if someone does backbite you and your family, they don’t deserve any consideration from you about their “thoughts”. Socialise with the ones you like and those who respect you and your family, ignore the rest.
