Ask them questions. Find out why they believe what they believe. The problem with newer PD enthusiasts (and we've all done it) is the mistaken belief that everyone else around them needs to get into PD. Well, it's no different than some newly born again christians who become like pests you just want to hide from. Just have a respectful conversation, ask questions about why they believe what they believe, and listen. Listen. And continue to listen. Just share your own successes and eventually they may come around. And they may not. But so what?
