No is powerful and I feel the struggle you have had for using it. It’s interesting how Satre’s quote has had many a philospher pondering over it’s meaning.
One point of view is he was focusing on the judegment other give you.

Hi, Simon. What helped me (and still does) deal with this struggle was to accept the fear, shame, and guilt that often follow. Once I stopped denying or fighting these feelings, they gradually dissolve. Now, saying no feels more natural to me.
And can you tell me more about the meaning of Sartre’s quote? 🤓

Yes I see how it can get easier.
MAny have debated Satre’s quote and what it really means. The version I like is that the hell he speaks of from people was their opinion and their judgement.
Regardless, people are often a problem we could do without.

In essence, we have the same interpretation of the quote.
I used it to illustrate how we tend to think that others are the problem when we overestimate their importance in our lives.
Thank you for your insight.
