Answer:

Many things

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, people conceal themselves from a young age due to their perception of societal norms. We may be inclined to hide who we really are out of fear of being ostracized, rejected, or even the fear that we will not have any friends. We may have this assumption or understanding that who we truly are is not something that is treated kindly in the society around us, and thus we conceal who we are to be liked.
