Learning of bitcoin should be based on interest and not by force. If you try to teach someone about bitcoin and that person is not showing any interest, it is better that you forget about it,and try to talk to someone else who will be interested on it. Remember, no matter the effort that you put in,to teach someone who is skeptical to accept new ideas or that person feels that he is a professor or knows more than you in other aspect of life,or if he is even richer than you,will end up being a wasted effort.
What you said there is nothing short of the truth. I was a victim of such in my zealousness as I had gone on evangelizing Bitcoin to those around me as soon as I knew of Bitcoin and the potential it has. Almost all those I talked to about it were unmoved. Fast-forward to date, their perception has changed as most of them now see a need to embrace it. No one should coerce anyone into anything, Bitcoin investment included.

The challenge I always have is to convince people not to invest in bitcoin. After all bitcoin is not an investment and it is not meant to give you profit. It is a currency and if you want to introduce it to someone you should introduce it as a currency too.
Well, I don't think Bitcoin would've gained the type of attention it has now if everyone talked about it in the light of a currency which was what Satoshi had in mind (or what he told us) creating it. How do you explain something that was around $700 (at the time I heard of it) in 2016 but nearly did a multiple of 100 in 2021 if it isn't an investment? I'm talking of what's obtainable on ground and not a conceptual idealism.
