sometimes though when you live in a society that society decides that obligation exists independently of your acceptance of it

O.O I think the ppl who think revealing emotion is done to control you tend to be revealing something about themselves.

okay, let's break it down. Alice tells Bob that Bob doing X hurts her feelings 1) is Alice attempting to exercise control over Bob? 2) is Bob obligated to stop doing X? 3) if Bob does not stop doing X, is he unfeeling?

but let me bring up the most controversial manifestation of this principle: Alice believes what Bob is doing is harming himself, and she feels pain when he hurts himself. (e.g. "I think you're drinking too much/doing too many drugs/getting yourself into dangerous situations")

Sorry I missed this reply earlier. I personally don't understand how it changes things at all, but it's often framed as a laudable and positive social interaction, as in the case of "an intervention."
