Yup, Pathological demand avoidance. It’s a deep feeling of “ don’t tell me what to do”

But I'm not autistic and I can't explain how strongly I identify with this statement. The irrational anger when someone tells me what to do, even if I was already going to do it, or worse... If I'm already doing it!!!

and when you tell people they think it's funny. it's not. it's not a cute little rebellion joke I'm making. my brain is repulsed by the idea of doing something I'm told to do. I'd rather do NOTHING than what I've been told to do.

It helps saying that "I'm doing it because I wanted to not because you said so, just so we're on the same page."

It’s because it makes you feel as if you don’t have a choice, it feels like they’ve taken your free will.

YES! This is especially true for me with tiktok lately. Any comment or request to "watch till the end", "can you stay for 30 seconds?" or to "like and follow" will immediately give me a bad feeling and I have to skip the video.
