The "everybody" you speak of sounds like nobody. Yes, precisely because "everybody" presents every judgement and decision as its own, it tries to deprive the individual of its answerability.

"Everybody" is the other, and nobody is himself. In this mode, one's way of being is that of inauthenticity and failure to stand by one's self. This very state of being is what misses itself and covers itself up.
