It doesn’t really seem like you’re all that confident in your opinion when you anon up, nontheless, words do not effect people, they are just sounds with subjective individual meaning attached, meaning that is generated and regulated entirely by the individual hearing the sounds to do with what they like. Can a person CHOOSE to have sounds or actions of others effect them, sure but they do not by default. Sleeping is probably one of the worst examples you could have chosen, dreaming maybe would have been more relavant.
