I agree with prompt 1. People have different beliefs and they might go against the truth. When they hear the truth, they realize they were wrong the whole time, and they don't want to feel like that.

Prompt 1: I feel like the people in my life and the society allows me actually be myself and allows my true personality to be radiated off in the atmosphere. I also don't feel trapped at all.

Prompt 2. My reaction to to the quote is that being normal should not be a problem. There are a lot of social norms that society wants us to look up to and be. Being normal and being yourself always is a problem because people want you to be who they want you to be and not yourself. We should accept people for who they are and don’t judge them for being themselves.

Prompt 2. Yes my life as well as all other blacks have been shaped by color or race.

Brown people, Chinese people, people from Pakistan and more

I definitely agree wit prompt 1 because once you tell ppl the truth it’s hard for them to wrap there head around it and hate to admit it

# data[].attributes.body
I am always encouraged to float may it be family, friends, or strangers. They always say it's ok to be who you are but even though with so much encouragement I still try to hide myself and blend in because I am scared of what people may think of me. So, instead of it being others that's holding me back, in fact the thing that is holding me back is myself and my fear of not being seen as "normal" and being ostracized for my differences.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though yes, people don't usually like hearing the truth including me I rather hear the truth then continue to live in ignorance. Even though the truth may hurt it's better to know and learn from it. Not acknowledging it isn't going to make it just disappear. And for some instances ignoring the truth can probably make things worse.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with prompt 1 I’ll like to hear the truth cause Instead of lying and hurting someone in my opinion I’ll rather you hurt or say someone with truth
