Well at least you admit that this is all about your ego, a lot of people aren't that honest.
Also, you can't change who someone is in order to fit your ideal...this almost never works out favorably, not in the long run at least. If he tried to beat something you greatly enjoy out of you then at best you would try (and fail in the long run) to force yourself to change for him until you burn out and the real you takes over anyway, taking you right back to the beginning of the shit storm all over again. At worst you would get into a fight about it right then and there and who knows where that would lead?
If you're not okay with a quality someone has you can't hook up with that person and try to beat that quality out of them. You have to take it or leave it. You may not want to accept that but life isn't going to give you much of a choice.
They see indoctrination and they call it "morality", "professionalism", or "maturity" depending on the context.
