How in control of your life choices do you feel on a scale of 1 - 10 why so?

Do you feel like you are actively choosing what you do or do you feel like there are things that happen around you that force you to do the things you do?

like a 7.
I realize that my decisions are ultimately my own but I feel so much pressure to make them.

I imagine its a double edged sword. You feel the power of autonomy but also the stress

A little of both depending on what it is. But I try to choose mainly what I want. I got fed up people pleasing.

mic11225 · 26-30, M

a good way to live I think. If you spend your life pleasing people you aren't even living your own life, it just makes you a tool meant to satisfy others and that disturbs me.

@mic11225: yeah it disturbed me to at the time. It was exhausting.

sometimes the events in our lives force the choice of your actions. Right now about a 2

mic11225 · 26-30, M

definitely. In fact it could be argued that it's always outside forces that control our actions and that our choices are an illusion. But I get what you mean. Sometimes big things happen and you have to respond to it or sometimes go along with it.

I am always in control of my choices. Sometimes those choices consume a lot of my time. But there's always Karma,so I feel a lot of good Karma is coming my way

that's what it feels like for me. Like i'm just riding things along, not really making any choices xD

2. Not very in control.

mic11225 · 26-30, M

I think that's natural at your age

1. See job post before.

mic11225 · 26-30, M

yeah, hard to do things without money. I feel you on that one

originalGOS · 26-30, F

I'd say like 4.

mic11225 · 26-30, M
