And I've noticed people of our parents generation are for whatever reason not receptive to learning or implementing self-soothing strategies at their advanced ages.
For whatever reason, they actually seem ..fine with being broken records, having the same spats over the same problems and running into the same frustrations and experiencing them fully each time, rather than taking a different course of action or learning to lessen their own suffering.
One thing I've learned (or hope to) from them is to not get too set in my own ways, and always try to remain open to new ideas and new ways of going about things. And maybe most importantly, being open to accepting help when it's needed.
