A Lack of Coachability in People

So, hit me with a why if you've ever had someone in your life who has a huge ass problem.
The problem may, in fact, be a huge ass.
They have a huge ass problem.
They won't take any coaching.
Not a shred.
Not a smidge.
Not a bit.
Nothing.
Nada.
Goose egg.
Bagel.
Zero.
Won't take a thing.
Hit me with a why if you've ever had someone who's overweight, and maybe you're not overweight, and you tried to give them some advice, and they're like, no, no, no, hey, hey, I'll figure it out myself.
Hey, I'll do it myself.
Don't push me.
I'll figure it out myself.
I don't need your help.
I got it.
I got this.
If I want your help, I'll ask you for it.
But don't volunteer your help when I haven't asked.
Have you ever had a girl, woman, in your life who has some minor psychological quirky poos?
And you say, you know, therapy might be, hey, hey, I've got it.
I'll figure it out myself.
Don't push me.
I've got this.
I'm not asking for your help.
Everyone's got their quirks.
I'll figure it out for myself.
Somebody says, yes, I'm a fitness trainer and I've offered free help.
Yes, that's right.
That's right.
That's right.
Somebody's a puddle of fairness and you're like, you know, I could give you a hand getting yourself off the cap.
Hey, I'm fine.
I'll figure it out myself.
I'm just going through a bit of a lull.
When I want your help, if I need your help, trust me, you'll be the first person I come to ask.
Hey, if you have not noticed, I'm not asking.
Dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Somebody says, yes, in fact, any coaching leads to insane hostility.
It does, right?
Yeah, thinking of the same person, you also reject the thought that you know it all if you're coachable.
Yeah.
Being coachable means other people have value to you and you don't know everything.
Does all of this come from growing up around people who have no credibility?
You spoke to my mom, didn't you?
That's good.
Sounds like pride.
They consider therapy a huge insult.
Right.
Yeah, it's rough, man.
It's rough.
So, a lack of coachability is absolutely brutal for people.
I mean, hey, I've been trying to coach the world on Bitcoin for well over a decade.
No, hey, it's just, it's a scam, man.
It's going to go to zero.
It's nothing.
It's a bubble.
Haven't you ever heard of the tulip bubble of the South Sea?
Bubble?
Come on, man.
It doesn't even exist.
People will send me bits and burps over the internet to tell me that sending bits and burps over the internet has zero value.
You know, the fact that Bitcoin is allergic to morons is one of its greatest strengths.
