: Interesting. The original question didn't come with any specific context, but in a generic sense, I see how others are interpreting this expressions. Let me cast another positive vote for Kathy.

Rinlien
: Yes. This is like the person is not willing to do it because of lack of responsibility or he/she doesn't take the task seriously. The person feels the problem has nothing to do with him/her, or the problem is not that important.

: Hi Ruth, I like your term choice of "coerce " better than "force." (Can't seem to get this right today. Correcting my own typo again.)

the sense of being coerced
Kathy's and Ruth's are both on the right track, I think.
The feeling of, though, sounds a bit off. Would the "sense" be closer?
This suggestion is really just a modification on Ruth's idea, so I will cast a positive vote on her answer as well.

The way Rinlien put it in words packaged the notion, which I had stored a bit too deeply in my native language mindset, nicely. This may be all in my head, but by "sensing" you know it's in the air; wheras by "feeling" it's inside you and you know it. Anyway, as you say, for this particular phrase, I agree that "feeling" works well. Thank you Ruth.

Ruth Sato
: I think you have a good idea here to combine both, but I think that "the sense..." & "the feeling..." have exactly the same nuance, so I think that either would work well. Anyway, good job!

For a long time, many government workers felt as though they were in a Dilbert cartoon. They were imprisoned in a system where they had little power and no one listened to their ideas.
