Why can you not "choose" to lose" the Holy Spirit? You do have free will.

We don't have that much free will.
Psalm 139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

I do not see that scripture applicable to the question. That addresses God's omnipresence which is true for the saved and unsaved . One can not escape even in Hell (which sure would indicate an unsaved man )

Your position is we have enough free will to force God to act , but not enough to walk away?? In case one we have an unregenerate man that can force God to act according to his will and a regenerate man that can not do as he chooses.

It would seem it takes a strong will to make God act. It should be just as strong to walk away .Does God want you to be a puppet, being where you do not want to be?
