Not everyone can see it from your eyes and sometimes IT SURPRISINGLY the opposite - they can't pretend you're genuine or don't know how to be friends / trust / test / even have fun in learning.

So a bit of "do it yourself anyway' is needed instead of waiting... while measuring how to spend your energy wisely or just to yourself. Just don't expect even a thank you.

Just make sure the work is quality, can last, be transformed and doesn't short-change your work or people because you can safely assume THE WHOLE design of life is short-changing people even if people don't mean it (similar to how the work finishes and so are you somewhere when life should be a lot more inclusive)....
How your language works or the habits pushed around (usually financially) all reflect what I mean.

You literally just have to know what's right in yourself mostly or only and be able to say it when asked, hoping people are genuine, and *maybe* prepared to accept your truth, test it out and bend and bow to you a bit in mutual celebration.

They might naturally be against you but have to bulldoze through that and go for the long-term!

Not saying "do things without asking", but after asking a bit and waiting you have to imagine the bus is already leaving and people will catch up later... and yes there might be another bus 🚌 ... but also judge if people are NEVER READY until PUSHED and he 'right' bus for them is maybe never leaving / never ready to jump in the water, so you have to do it yourself / walk the whole way / take the high road (whatever metaphor!) !

... INDIRECTLY OR PERHAPS NOT DO IT YOURSELF AND SOMETIMES PUSH PEOPLE AND DON'T ACCEPT BEING SHORT-CHANGED!

(P.S. DON'T PUSH PEOPLE UNDER THE BUS.... UNLESS IT METAPHORICALLY HARMLESS!!).
