You are only responsible for yourself.
In any relationship between two people, be it co-workers, friends, family, or lovers, realize that you can only control yourself, and are only responsible for yourself.
Often in relationships, you should stay in your lane. Do not worry about what they do. You cannot control them. You can only control you. Stay in your lane.
I am not saying you shouldn’t even disagree with them or debate anything. I love debating issues with people. This is how horizons are broadened and new concepts and ways of viewing things are learned. This is a good thing.
This also doesn’t mean to not care for anyone else to you. If a good friend is headed down the path to addiction, you’d be remiss to not speak up about it.
Set limits on the amount of help you provide, and don't assume responsibility for the actions of others.
Staying in your lane is understanding you can only really affect change in yourself. In the above example, you cannot drag someone to rehab. You shouldn’t try. But you should bring up the fact that it appears that they’re headed down a path leading to addiction. What they do with your statement is on them. After that, you drop it. You’re still staying in your lane.
You cannot fix someone else’s problems. You are not responsible for them. Again, you cannot control them. As much as you may think you’ll get some golden star for trying to fix someone else, it’s a futile effort. Don’t seek validation through acting “selfless” to fix others to satisfy a “selfish” need.
Stay in your lane.
