[quote=Anonymous]You don't. You don't get to decide how they should live; you don't get to say whether they are happy or how they could be happier. You are not in charge of them. You are in charge of YOU. If you are miserable and judgmental and sad and disappointed when you are around them, DON'T BE AROUND THEM. Or at least limit your time. If they make comments you don't want to hear, either choose to ignore it or choose to say, "I'm not comfortable with you saying that kind of thing in my presence." If they continue, LEAVE. By continuing to be around them and stew over how you think they should live their lives, you are making YOURSELF unhappy. Take some responsibility here. If they are not good people, then don't be around them. If you feel you must be around them, make it brief.[/quote]
