experiencing free will?

[bobhikes]

I feel as though in my life I have next to zero free will

I feel that everything I do is predetermined and that I have no agency

What can I do to experience free will?

I want to experience the feeling of not being predetermined

To prove to yourself you are not predetermined resolve a proof you want to know and determine it's exact answer yourself without any biases, beliefs or tolerances.

Others results are only allowed as research.

There are limits on all choices we make in life because circumstances can often leave only a few options in any given situation. Also, we are limited by the restrictions we place on ourselves. An example of a self-imposed restriction would be a young man wishing to find a young lady that he might form a relationship with promising himself he would not lie or fudge the truth just to get in the good graces of a prospective candidate for a relationship. Having limits on our choices does not mean we have no choices.

Your inhibitions seem more likely the problem you are describing. Inhibitions can be the result of conditioning or some of us are born with them. That problem is above my pay grade to help any one with. As we age inhibitions do seem to be easier to overcome in my opinion.

In what way are you predetermined?
