People have watched her grow and thus, seemingly constructed preconceived notions about her. Speaking about the same in an interview with Byrdie<\/a>, the 31-year-old highlighted a few adjectives and phrases that the media described her as. She said that headlines often labeled her as \u201cprecocious\u201d and \u201cwise beyond her years.\u201d<\/p>\n Although the \u201cMan on Fire\u201d actor understood that they meant well, she struggled with the weight of societal notions as she explored her adulthood. \u201cI know it\u2019s not a bad thing, but it felt so heavy and negative to me,\u201d Fanning explained. The expectations sometimes annoyed her because she was also \u201clearning\u201d about herself, the Golden Globe nominee revealed.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not going to be perfect all the time. I\u2019m not going to make the \u2018wise beyond your years\u2019 choice at every step,\u201d the actor let her thoughts out. She highlighted that she had to work through all these narratives that people \u201cplaced\u201d on her.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the \u201cWatchers\u201d star mentioned that she has been fortunate as the bombshell is \u201cgood at compartmentalizing.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve always had a strong sense of myself and a healthy ability to block out what feels untrue or too heavy.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the outlet, Dakota Fanning was self-aware, which gave her more clarity about her life. The \u201cWar of the Worlds\u201d actor also discussed having children and how she has decided to explore new things in her 30s.<\/p>\n The post Dakota Fanning on Navigating Society\u2019s \u2018Heavy Narrative\u2019 About Her<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dakota Fanning recently opened up about how society\u2019s preconceived notions affected her.
