Why are some people never able to be vulnerable, realize other perspectives, and admit wrong?

[Anonymous]

As I grow older I get more tired of dealing with people who always have to be "right" without allowing other perspective or without showing their vulnerable side. I increasingly find their company boring and difficult to be around. There is only so much logistics talk and black and white opinion talk I can handle on a given day. By now I feel like people should understand the world does not revolve around them and they make mistakes too and it's ok. Life is a journey. Is it just that I'm at the height of my career and kids are leaving the nest and this is how my peers want to be treated as at the pinnacle of a successful life and all knowing? Will it get better at the old age home? I am kind of a lifelong learner and not really interested in either a life of complete leisure or complete work. I feel like these people will continue to be judgmental or be all about leisure and the new whatever they just bought or visited to enjoy life all while declaring their rigid moral and life beliefs that can never be challenged and neither is very interesting to me if that's all you can bring to the table. How can you make it into your 50s and not realize that some of your tribal beliefs and your own beliefs don't have any flaws? Am I just less energetic than they are and more pensive? I feel like my to do list is endless and am just happy to get through things each day. I never think I'm the best at anything. I work all day and have success each day but it doesn't define who I am entirely. I love to try new things and learn and be wrong sometimes.
