Consider deleting the word “should” from your lexicon. It will help to decondition yourself and others from authoritarianism.

"We" is a close second best ☝🏻🐸

Can you expand on this? I feel like you are making a good point but I'm too stupid to understand straight away

By what authority does any man have the right to command another what they should or shouldn’t do? Even for everyday actions that don’t seem very consequential. Practically, it makes interactions more pleasant. Big picture, it chips away at the mass hypnosis of authoritarianism. And I take it further, I avoid using “should” even to the self.

Got you. You're right. I was thinking about self-talk. That's where freedom starts tbh

You are right I should probably do that. 😉

I don’t say “should” to myself either.
