Do you expect that that would continue to be true if you were in a situation where you had no choice but to accede to others' decisions?

Choosing to avoid making choices looks like personal autonomy to me.

Probably. If they went crazy with it, I'd eventually dislike it, but if they made the same choices I would have made, I'd be fine.

When other people do make choices for me, I won't try to find out how much they're willing to force the issue unless I'm planning on doing something else.
