How to stop trying to change everyone?

[JustMeL120]

Every time I understand or learn something new I keep sharing it with people. It's a waste of my time because they never listen but I keep doing it thinking I can change them or help them. I feel like I am wasting my life but it pains me to see people with problems that can easily be solved if only they would listen.

Examples are like when I know a way of improving someone's health. Or when I know a way of helping someone legally. Or when I know a way for someone to make money or start a business.

Why can't I just get on with my life and not try to help others😭😭😭😭😭😭

Wow, this type of trying to change people is usually more present in men, and I admit that I too have been like you from time to time with everything I've learned and done. But I also had to teach myself to live and let other people live. It's not my job or my place to try to force someone to do something I learned. All I do is just talk about it or suggest it once, and that's it. Whatever they do or don't do with that information is none of my business, I'm just putting it out there as a mention, not wanting them to bend to my will.

And that's what you have to do as well. You also have to remember that you are a human being who is still learning and moving through this life too, and you don't have all the answers and all the understanding to think someone else needs to do what you do.

Thank you even just menssioning it is a wate of my energy. I think I will follow your advice and try to live for myself. I just have to accept that I can't change th world or others and that I just need to protect myself. from now on I will only try and help the people I love. But mainly I will focus on my self.

Yeah, just take everything one day at a time. As long as you're changing for the better and learning new things, that's all that matters.
