Being able to distinguish needs from wants is essential. Never let go of an outcome you truly need in your life, but be reasonably flexible on the outcomes you want but could live fine without.

They clearly do not care about this problem. They are difficult and will not do anything about it, or even understand the problem.
I need to address this issue for me. Should I not try to talk with them, just smile and nod? Maybe, I need to stop trying and avoid them?
