Mm, it’s not so much “deferring,” just having a noticeable pang of doubt that’s much greater than I’d have with a typical person, one that would gnaw at me until I’d give the issue enough time or mental space to find a resolution for the point of disagreement
I’m emotionally beholden to people I love or respect in a way that some philosophers (certainly Stoics) would say prevents me from fully being my own “master.” This prob does leave more room for anxiety, but is also a normal social animal thing & a check on potentially bad ideas

Seems to imply that one's masters/teachers/trainers aren't normal social animals; can't love or respect; their job is to inflict anxiety…
