As you age, you learn new stuff right? Not the type of stuff you get from school or books, but the type you learn from just living. And there are so many life changing lessons, true. But there are so many unpleasant realizations and informations you are forced to swallow.
The one that I found harder and more sour than most, is the fact that not everyone will show the same level of excitement and passion for the things that I believe are a common sources of pleasure and benefit.
If you haven't been keen enough to observe and learn, you'll learn it the hard way, like me. Discovering that people have their own sets of priorities, not concerning a "to do" list exactly, but concerning principles and morality was a tough work.
I've spent several nights wondering how "so and so" didn't find "this and that" as important and attention worthy as I did. Stressing over why they were so indifferent and unwilling to engage further. It's unhealthy. If you are going through this, make yourself get out of that situation. How? Well, keep reading...
Always remember, there will be as many sets of values and priorities as there are people on this planet. This is the most crucial piece to remember. This might sound like a common knowledge, but it is often forgotten.
Not everyone will show the same level of enthusiasm as we do to certain things, and that's okay. Maybe you'll find your people, maybe not. Hype yourself up, support yourself and don't be ashamed of your interests and hobbies and ideas and dreams, just because people don't value them.
Also, remember that every single person comes from a different background, lived a unique life, and have their own dreams and goals to chase. Understanding this might alleviate the level of bitterness that might arise because of lack of interest from others..
And to understand this whole thing better, I believe it's important to experience what being at the other end of the thread feels like. If a someone you know is advocating for a given cause and is talking with passion, try to test yourself whether you are excited enough to match the energy. If you find it hard to keep up or continue being attentive, well, there you go. Now you know why they ain't interested about the different bamboo species in the world that you can't shut up about
So yeah, it sucks that our friends and families aren't excited about our sources of excitement. But are we being excited for THEIR sources of excitement ?

i sometimes get too overwhelmed by the love of my friends or people around me and get this ego that says if people donβt like me, itβs their problem i am really great, eko, literally the best.

Having five pets is fun until they start fighting like humans and act like they're about to rob you when you are home alone.
