We can't be expected to agree with each other all of the time, and our opinions are often varied. This is after all which gives us our personal flavour to the experience of life. The way we live our own life is personal and hopefully a choice based on your own truths and reasons for feeling good about your daily activities. This is something to be respected in a person and when somebody acts according to they way they feel regardless of other opinion is courageous and strong. Not to be confused with stubborn failure to accept the flaws of a direction, in which case we are blinded by our own attachment to a situation that does not exist, but if we are happy and making what we consider to be progress then this is not the case. We are acting truthfully and according to our own direction.
A friend, someone who cares for and respects us will of course wish to state their opinion if they feel it is different to yours. This is how conversations can be made, if respect is given. However, when a person explains that they truly feel they are at peace with how their path and feelings on a subject are at the time, content in the best efforts being made at all times, then a respectful person, friend, would accept this and move on. Maybe, with keen interest want to find out more, in order to further their own feelings on the subject they have not seen in the same way. It is important to always examine ourselves, if we feel emotionally charged to put someone straight or sort out their thinking. It is often the case that it is our thinking that needs examining if such a response occurs. It is unfriendly. A decent and respectful person, friend, will always take the time to respect your wishes and unless they perceive a direct danger or threat, to insist is to disrespect.
If we find ourselves with friends or people in our lives who continually make digs at our character, tell us that we are mistaken, offer advice that would neglect your passions, or any other action that feels bad to us, then we really would be best advised to examine their role in our lives and to make changes according to our own boundaries. Take the matter into your own hands, establish who you want around you.
We are all friends until proven otherwise.
