The speaker articulates her perspective on how ordinary behaviors have transformed into forms of rebellion due to her restrictive upbringing. She describes a life where she was constantly monitored and denied personal space, which left her no opportunity to freely explore her thoughts, emotions, or aspirations. This lack of privacy significantly impacted her ability to develop her own identity.

Moreover, her family's rigid instructions on interactions with men not only dictated her behavior but also imposed limitations on her feelings and personal agency. As she reflects on this, she notes that what may seem typical and straightforward to others feels entirely foreign to her, highlighting the stark contrasts between her lived experience and that of others.
