What is another word for shoulding?
Pronunciation: [ʃˈʊdɪŋ] (IPA) 
The term "shoulding" refers to the act of putting unnecessary pressure on oneself by constantly thinking about what one should or shouldn't do. Synonyms for this term include "obligating," "dictating," "demanding," "expecting," "commanding," and "advising." All of these words are associated with the notion of telling oneself or others what needs to be done, often without considering the individual circumstances of the situation. To combat this negative habit, it is important to reframe such thoughts into more positive and empowering ones, focusing on what one wants to do, rather than what one "should" do. This can lead to a more fulfilled and happy life.
