I can relate to this. The "permission" aspect also cuts both ways sometimes, because I learned to be cautious and then _that_ became the thing I was doing wrong, according to others, who berated me for not being assertive enough.

What's worse is that when I left my home and had finally the permission to go outside, at ~14 years old, I was basically unable to make any decisions or take any initiative. I literally had to relearn how to behave in society and at work, one hurtful mistake at a time.
