Labels can become a cage

Some adults say labels so casually like they are just describing the moment. Shy. Naughty. Stubborn. Sensitive. Difficult. But kids do not always hear “this happened today.” They hear “this is who I am.” And once that settles in, the label starts shaping how they move, what they try, and what they expect from themselves. That is why certain words follow people for years. What label did you keep hearing as a kid that took way too long to shake off?
