I understand the sentiment, but it's so much easier than done. What about authority figures? What about people with so much more power and influence than you?
If multiple strangers are bashing someone, then that "someone" would feel like absolute shit. It doesn't matter if we're all insignificant. Human emotions usually win over logic.
Plus, a lot of times, you'll need to appease strangers. Making a good impression, getting a job, not standing out, making friends, finding a lover, etc. Living life completely on your own terms would isolate you. Some of that control is just how society can function properly.

Right, unless you plan on being a hermit living remotely then unfortunately a lot of your life is affected by other people.

I wish I could be a hermit. But unfortunately, that's very difficult to pull off.

Yeah, that's the thing about control... Nobody just lets other people control them. If it was consensual influence, that would be a sequence of empowered choices. Otherwise, the very nature of being under control, necessitates that one not be empowered to change or influence the outcomes that others in control want.

Wow, tell that to people who had experienced being manipulated or gaslighted. Also those who has to perform an obligation under a contract.

Well I’ll listen to OP. Unfortunately, OP is a stranger, so I will now no longer listen to OP.

There's something about a person trying to give you useless "life advice" and not even taking the time to write "your" that just makes it feel like it's coming from the dumbest, least compassionate pos ever 💀
