More often than not, we are in control of who we are and how people see us. However, we are a mix of small portion of our original self and larger portion of things or people who have influenced us to think/behave in a certain way.

Of course not

Law, morality, and parents, friends.

Everyone has different perspectives so the way people see you differs and you cannot be in control of how they choose to see you but you can to some extent be in control of who you are

Of course not. When we decide whether to make a decision or not, any opinion from others can be regarded as something that limits and affects us.

we can't act against our conscience.

All people are not entirely free in all of their actions. What we do and what we think is a result of culture, upbringing(family), school that we went to, historical contest.

we are free to choose however consequences of our actions and responsibility hinder us from exploring the full freedom of our free will. sometimes we are in full control of who we are but emotions or other people can bring out our hidden personalities.

In childhood, teachers and parents might restrict some of our actions which is harmful and dangerous for our living. When we are growing up , involving in the society, law and government might be someone whom prohibited our actions.

Not always free to choose. Morality and the law will limit some of my behaviour. And in the school, school rule limit me . We also can’t choose what do people think of me.
