You may be driven by the desire to understand and explain - but you also need to learn to be more accepting of the fact that not all people have the desire to listen, and that doesn't necessarily make them inferior to you - it could be that they already have a deeper or different understanding of the topic. Or perhaps it’s simply not the right time. Other people may find you frustrating if you lecture them and talk down to them in a patronizing way. No matter how good your intentions are, you can come off as arrogant and condescending, like you’re always placing yourself in a position of superiority. Learning when to talk, and when to let others talk, is the core challenge that you have to overcome on the path to self-actualization.

I’m learning more and more when to shut my mouth and keep my opinions to myself.
