I tried sharing some of my philosophies about life with my close friends whom I've known for years (7+). I want to surround myself with like minded individuals, so of course I would try to get people to see the way I think, right? Especially when they're the friends I've known for years. I presented an idea that improved my life, so I wanted to share it in an attempt that they could improve their lives.
The point I shared was "Take control of things in life that you can control, rather than stressing on things completely out of your control."
This is completely reasonable, right?
They rejected it using reasoning like "Your way of life doesn't work for everyone" and "my choices in life don't matter." The point for the first one doesn't even address this part specifically, it's just an immediate dismissal of what I said, and the second point is just completely wrong from a self-improvement mindset.
That just makes me think that people aren't willing to even consider thinking a different way. Why is this?
