Default My girlfriend doesn't get it...

My girlfriend was "partially joking and partially serious" when she said that I was beginning to act "crazy" and was fearing that I'm getting brainwashed by Steve and this forum, and compared it to some kind of sect...

I have a hard time explaining to her that we're not crazy, just seeing things clearly. This personal development-stuff IS pretty new for me, I'm just getting started. So she sees a bit different side of me than she has before. In a way I can perfectly understand that she's worried.

She is so sceptical to everything on the internet, and insist "you must not believe everything you read" and so on.

I need advice. I've tried to be gentle when I've talked about this. Things like the Law of Attraction and why I don't need a job, when I could rather start my own business, and so on. She would rather see me in a regular job, than doing something as "insane" as trying to think for myself and create something on my own.

I truly wish she was more open-minded. I have a lot to work with here, to get here to live more consciously too. At the same time, I don't want to push anything on her.

Anybody else here experienced the same kind of problems? How can this be solved? I would really appreciate some advice.

Thanks.
