Ví dụ
It’s for the same reason they imitate (bắt chước) our actions. As much as I tell them not to act like the giant ass hat I am, they do anyway. As adults, we’re no different with the character armour we assume. The social conditioning we’ve all undergone (trải qua) to varying cultural degrees. There’s a code of conduct we must follow. For women, that’s typically something along the lines of never speak up. Always look pretty. Be perfect. Don’t over step your mark.
At any rate, it’s a risk we have to be willing (sẵn lòng) to take. If only to find out who are friends and family really are. The truth is the character armour we can carry around is far heavier than the clothes we wear on our backs. We can only carry it for so long before it weighs us down. That’s why we need to be around (ở cạnh) the people who will let us take it off — who will accept us when we do. (Even if they can’t help but laugh sometimes.)
