You can’t force yourself to get along better with someone if they won’t cooperate. Either you two are compatible or you’re not. Instead of continuing to beat your head against the wall trying to charm them, accept the situation as it is and make the best of it. You don’t have to make everyone your friend. And try to understand that just because someone doesn’t light up when you speak doesn’t mean that they don’t respect you.
Think outside your usual topics today. Take detours, ponder a few different ideas, and try a few new perspectives as you look deeply into your own. Lots of great, personal flourishing can happen now.
Expect to get frustrated at some point today, if only because your partner is moving too slowly for you. There’s no way to speed them up, so you might as well relax and let things roll.
Your hard work hardly seemed to pay off. At least you’re not alone. Instead of dying trying, spend the next few days going for romance instead.
