hang-ups
Personal mental barriers
Hang-ups are psychological inhibitions or emotional blocks that prevent someone from acting freely or comfortably: She has hang-ups about her body, He's got hang-ups about commitment.
The term suggests unresolved issues, often from past experiences, that interfere with present behavior.
Someone without hang-ups is relaxed and uninhibited.
