Things you can't teach someone
from The Incomplete Adult Hosted by Sharanya Venkat
In today’s episode we’re talking about why you need to stop watering plastic plants and wondering why they aren't growing. We’ve all been there, trying to curate a person into who we think they could be, instead of just observing who they actually are. But here’s the tea: there is a very specific set of things that you simply cannot teach another person. If you’re out here hinting for basic thoughtfulness or scheduling reminders for them to be considerate, you’re barking at the wrong tree. You’re trying to run a high-def program on a machine that was built for Minesweeper. Certain traits aren't skills you can learn; they’re default settings. They are a posture of the heart, an internal compass. And if it’s not innate? You can’t install it. So, grab your coffee, sit down, and let's go through the Unteachable List.
