Answer

The answer is **self-fulfilling prophecy**.A self-fulfilling prophecy occurs when a belief about oneself or another person (even if initially false) influences behavior in a way that causes the belief to come true. In this case, the expectations others have of us become the "belief" that influences our actions and ultimately shapes our behavior to align with those expectations.
