There's honestly no point in trying to prove your point to anyone. Everyone has their own experience and their own truth, and trying to force your truth onto them will just make them defensive, plus they won't hear it or understand it. Now BE-ing your truth, that's where it's at.

It's different if someone is open to hearing your experience and thoughts. That's what I love about steemit and other blog style platforms, you can put yourself out there and see who's interested.
