But is that your job to fix? You can't fix other people. It doesn't matter if you think it's your job or not, you can't do it.

I'm in agreement with Mary. No matter what stories you tell yourself, you can't somehow make other people be whatever you imagine them to be -- they are, independent of your will. Just let them be.
