How does all this end up happening?
How am I supposed to impress upon people that what they do isn't right?
I know that makes me sound arrogant, that I think I know better enough that I feel I must teach a lesson, but it's mainly concern. I see this stupid, self-destructive behaviour and I can't contain my commentary. It's idiotic. They shouldn't be doing it. I can't cover for them forever. I feel like the best I can do is tell them they're making bad decisions, but that's not enough. First of all, they (well, at least one of them) won't listen. Second of all, I feel like a poseur acting like I know so much better even though I know I'm right. Most of the time I don't say anything; I worry that if I express any form of disapproval they won't trust me. Which is more important: trust or truth? A tiny part of me wants to just reveal everything. I can see it: every truth, every secret spilled, just laying there poised to spawn the frightening wrath they have the potential to incite. I just can't do that though. As I said, I can only try to show them that they are making stupid choices. I don't know if I can do it.
Then there's the fact that I just want to be in control of my own life. I get sucked into all this idiotic drama because I'm just trying to make the right decisions for myself. I really depend on people for very little, but this one thing that she's in control of she can't seem to handle. It's the only thing I really, truly ask. I'm told not to worry, it's not my problem, but it is. It is ultimately solely my problem; it is my future; it is my life.
I try so hard to make the right decisions. I try to be a good person. I try to do the right thing and make everyone happy but it never seems to be enough.
I don't know what I should do. I mean that in so many ways it's ridiculous.

Well I don't know if you want actual advice...it's kind of hard to give it when you don't name names and give examples of events. But I've felt the same way many times. If I say what I'm thinking, it will sound mean and the person won't tell me anything anymore because they don't want to hear my lecturing. However, most of my situations don't involve me specifically. If this involves you and will somehow change your life, then I think it's different. I would rather regret saying something and losing trust or whatever than not saying anything and wishing I had. Or you could just stop hanging out with these people and let them make their own mistakes.
