I feel like other cultures value honest conversation more. But sometimes that happens here, too.

Trying to get things across to people can actually be a form of respect even if they don't realize it. It's like, you're trying to let them know that you think they're important, and you want them to hear what you're saying. And maybe it will get better later. In the future, maybe it would not seem so preachy. It would seem more like, I picked up some energy patterns to share and I need to get that across to the people who can understand them because it's important for this collective work we're doing. And then on another day, somebody else will pick up the other energy patterns and then you will be the one listening. On a previous day, you were the one who picked up the energy patterns and you were trying to share them.
