Thanks, not uncommon unfortunately, I can relate. In this regard orange-pilling is similar to introducing someone to the spiritual journey.

In my experience, once ready, your message will spark curiosity without big resistances and they'll continue by themselves and only get back to you for follow-up once in a while with a gleam in their eyes. My resolution is to not push anymore. As soon as there is friction, I will back off and trust life that things will unfold the way they are supposed to. Maybe that will keep you away from such uncomfortable hostilities early enough. The amount of fear,  insecurity, greed, jealousy engrained in society is not to be underestimated. Orange-pilling, as any consciousness expansion, is a delicate and revealing affair. 

 That's it! Let friends know that you are there to help, but never try to "orange pill" someone. If they don't come by themselves, it's just a waste of time. 

 Thanks mate, absolutely! You offer the pill caringly, they gotta take it themselves.
