Those are extremely pertinent questions. You need to explore them further. It's important for you to do so. If it weren't then you wouldn't be asking those questions right now. At least if I were in your shoes, that's the way I would see things. Maybe I'm wrong?

Nobody tells anybody what to do.
In my experience, people are told what to do by others so I'm not sure what you mean by your comment, "nobody tells anybody what to do."
I wish I could tell you what to do, but that's not something I feel comfortable doing. Maybe you could find someone you trust and they will tell you what to do? I'm agnostic. But I do listen to my intuitions and explore them further before acting on them.
As far as I can tell your line of questioning above indicates to me that you are making a valid inquiry and pursuing it the way you ought to pursue it. That's pretty much all I can say at this point.
