How have I not directly answered this question?

Summary would be fine.

"Free will doesn't exist" can never be meaningful, true, or false. I have had this discussion in person dozens of times and everyone pretty much shares my definition. People feel as though they are free to make any choice in the moment.

Somewhat, for the first sentence. Meaningful is highly subjective when it comes to opinion subjects. Anecdotal evidence means nothing here. I've had several conversations with people using causality as their main point, therefore, people think causality is linked to free will--which isn't fact, just subjective view.

I don't like this culture of trigger warnings where no one takes responsibility for their own emotional state.

Seems like a subjective view on something that probably isn't statistically relevant to the masses. unless you have stats on that.

And spinning this narrative has created so much fear with respect to dying that people are afraid to live

Seems like a very narrow point in a giant ocean of outcomes. But I see now your point has to do with religion (did that have anything to do with the last poster?). Seems quite biased, and non-contextual. Who is it being applied to? What have they done that has entirely negative, rather than positive? Is is toxic mentality if the outcome has no bigotry of exclusion? Negativity and ignorance is not exclusive to religion, even if it might have a bigger share.

Even then, with those mentality all around us, we're still at this point in history. Where is the inherent goodness that's all around s? Seems like a bleak view trying to fill a bias.

Who is "me?" What is "thought?" What is "freedom?" What do you mean by "make?"

Exactly. There is no true response.
