You can’t alter your experience of the world by changing other people. It won’t work. If you can’t tolerate them, move on. Don’t frustrate yourself by expecting them to transform into someone you want them to be. Even if they change under pressure, they’ll resent you for forcing the matter. If you’re in the habit of trying to change others to suit your preferences, realize that it doesn’t feel good to them and won’t be satisfying to you either. If you continue spending time with them, do everybody a favor and work on changing…

Yourself instead.
