I actually think it’s critical to care *deeply* what other people think, but choose those people carefully — only people you’d consider your *teachers*! If someone has the power to easily punish or reward you, that person is your teacher whether you’d endorse it or not

I don't agree - if someone has power over you without consent, you're a slave. Stoicism is about reshaping your value set to become your own master.

In other words, I don’t want to be *entirely* my own master as long as I have many friends wiser than myself

If it existed, you’d still need to to wear it, which would mean being much less widely liked in return for maintaining more control over your own mind (not in some contra-causal way, but via control of your influences). This isn’t a trade I think most people would make, actually!
