Throughout our lives, we take on many social roles, such as son or daughter, friend, and parent. Roles help us know how to behave and we are generally comfortable in them. Sometimes, however：people want to separate themselves from a role they are enacting: they want to show that this role does not represent who they really are. When people use their behavior to convey such detachment from a role, they are engaged in role distancing People often use gestures, facial expressions, and tone of voice to distance themselves from roles they are uncomfortable performing.
Now listen to part of a lecture on this topic in a sociology class.
Imagine this situation. You’re 13 years old and you’re hanging out with your friends at your house. Suddenly your mother walks in and reminds you that you haven’t done one of your chores. She tells you that you need to go into the kitchen and wash the dishes. Suddenly you’re expected to be the obedient child, right? You should jump up and say, sure, mom right away and go do it. But you’re so embarrassed. You’re afraid that if you act like a good kid, now your friends are going to think you’re such a baby, so uncool, you’re thinking to yourself, come on, I am not a child, I shouldn’t have my mommy telling me what to do, especially not in front of my friends. But you can’t just refuse. You have to wash those dishes. So as you go to do it, you make it clear to your friends that this whole thing is beneath you, how? maybe you sigh heavily and roll your eyes. You say, yes, ma’am but in an insincere voice, maybe make a face when your mother turns her back. You move into the kitchen slowly, dragging your feet the whole way. And what you’re doing is you’re trying to tell everyone, including your mother, that you’re way too old for this, that you’re not really a little kid.
