They just want - "the old you".
The "you" they knew before...this happened...
The "you" they knew, when the world was still...right.

...I'm beginning to think that we are a whole society of what you describe: two sets of people: the handlers and the handled. ...
Are you thinking that both sets are oblivious to their distinctive roles...acting &/or reacting in some prescribed or programmed manner?
Or - are the handled the only ones that don't know what's going on?
Like the Matrix - everyone goes about their business...as long as you don't - rock the boat.
Tip it, just a bit, and each and every other person is Agent Smith in waiting.

...what was happening to me was so overwhelming, mentally and emotionally, I had to write about it. We've all described the insulting and demeaning, terrible things we've endured in terms of what we hear. In my case, my exterior environment matched and reflected what I was hearing internally. In other words, the worse what I heard got, anytime I went somewhere---even just to buy a pack of cigs or soda, or a trip to the vet for one of my dogs---this is also how people treated me, openly. It was clearly as though people knew what I heard, even seemed they heard it, too, and were clearly feeling they HAD to treat me accordingly, as though this may happen to them, as well, if they didn't.

I know that 'ditto' is an inadequate response to this...but...
WoW... I've not heard or seen anyone-else describe their experience...as nearly as this describes mine.
That last part - ...(it) seemed they heard it, too, and...HAD to treat me accordingly... - is 'virtual Hell'.
At some point, I did go 'recluse'. In many ways (or - most/98% of the time), I still am.
I don't know that you can fight that voice.
As you have alluded to - If that voice is your own conscience/consciousness...then - What's the game?
Do you feel as if you have been especially endowed or gifted?
...Received special treatment throughout your life?
...Were spared hardships and pains that others had to experience?
...Have you done exceptionally EVIL things in your life...that are deserving of some exceptional punishment?
...Have you considered that in a former life...you might have been an ultimate evil - and Karma (in some form or another) has prepared a heaping dose of "you reap what you sow"...for this life?
I personally believe that we are in a simulation that mimics every single life throughout history in order to educate us. It seems like a logical approach to educating people in the future. Live trillions of lives in order to imprint all that knowledge into human beings while they are young.

This is what It does. It manipulates via the aether. It is in all of us.
Why keep thinking about what we might be willing to tolerate when we can think instead of what we'd actually like to have as a people?
Was that sincerity? That is good. I think anything is possible for us. I think we have been set up as our own judge, jury and executioner and where we go from here is only limited by our ability to think happy thoughts. ;p
