How to feel more in control, when I feel like literally everyone and everything exists just to boss me around?

I'm just so tired of not having any agency in my life. I have to go to a school that makes me feel absolutely miserable and the teachers there hate me, even though I'm trying my best to get along with them, just to get my diploma. I need to go to work to be bossed around by my boss, who's impossible to please, even with my best efforts to do so, to earn money to live a better life. I need to be everywhere on time all the time, and everyone is somehow in charge of me. I have to please my doctor, the bus driver, the grocery worker, and literally anyone who has any power over me, anyone who could either be mean to me, or make my future suck. I'm so tired of literally everyone having power over me, I don't even know what to do. I just want peace, I want a place without judgment, without pressure, everything is pressure all the time, is there any way to make it any better? I don't want to have power over anyone, I just want them to stop trying to stomp me into the ground over anything that inconveniences them, I just don't want them to have that much power over my life situation and emotional state. I just want to get away from people and go live off to the woods, I'm so tired
