Overview
You are not responsible for making other people happy -- you can only support them in their quest to find their own bliss. So don't buy a ticket for that guilt trip a friend or relative is trying to send you on! Don't react emotionally to this person's plight. Your compassion is admirable, but you can't let it force you to do things that you really don't think are healthy for you. Be a good friend by keeping yourself emotionally healthy and content.
