Got no idea what you mean by either of those clauses. Why wouldn’t the most painful times in your life be someone else’s well-meant disaster, forced on you without your control? And then the second clause I don’t understand at all.
Oh, I gotcha. I thought you were saying that you are so individualistic that the subjective experience of having someone think they knew better than you and trying to do something on your behalf was badly painful, but now it sounds to me like you’re saying the consequences of people trying to do things on your behalf with an inferior understanding of the situation are some of the most painful memories of your life, because those other persons really screwed things up. I assumed the first interpretation because the sentence I quoted is followed by one describing the hedonic consequences of doing things yourself.

...you must’ve led an existence extraordinarily free of other people screwing up your life.
