fear(s) [inhibitions] Explanation: Por contexto. En Chile existe la voz perso/persos utilizada con el sentido de hablar o actuar sin inhibiciones (tener personalidad), aunque no parece que sea éste su uso. De hecho aquí parece utilizarse perse/s con el sentido justamente contrario; sin perses con el sentido de sin miedos, sin inhibiciones. Claro que es sólo una aventurada suposición; el original resulta ciertamente difícil de leer. |

sin perse(s) [various options] don't/didn't care, no fucks given/to give, idgaf, don't/didn't give a damn/fuck, Explanation: One options might be the one you fine at the link below. no quería andar con perse de q me encontrara a alguien y cuando decidí ir lo hice pensando q no me importaba nada, que si decidí viajar lo haría sin perses :) "I didn't want to go being pressed that I'd run into someone and when I decided to go I did it telling myself that I wasn't bothered by any of it, so I decided to go - no fucks given" It seems to me that with this one, the translation will depend on the tone you choose. I think the general concept is "I was not encumbered by concern" (I know that sounds odd, but just trying to really kind of obvious with what the concept means). Also, it depends on how you want to translate this concept - since you have the whole text, you can be a better judge. https://www.tubabel.com/definicion/40921-perse |

(sin) complejos Explanation: In Spain, "gente sin complejos" is a similar, familiar expression. It is even the name of a Facebook group. Caveat: The English definition in the word reference link below is a bit ropey, but with a little effort you can expand it with less sweary versions than Justin's :-) Example sentence(s):
