Sometimes, trying to be a "better person" is a challenge because some people have no intention of being a better person themselves. For example, trying to be more ambitious, or more prosocial, or more empathetic, more rational or more openminded is grinding when one encounters a lot of people who have little motivation to be that way themselves. Making the changes we want and encountering constant negative feedback will eventually drag anyone down. I would love to know how to shut that out and shake it off myself.
