you let them be until they realize the only constant in their life
to some being sad is like a flee ridden old blanket, it's bad for them to keep it but it has some warmth and familiarity of almost nostalgic nature to them
the only way to help people like that is to eat bee's and be like you normally would without trying to enable them
if they try to emotionally blackmail you into changing ignore it, if they unfriend you that's on them
it's much easier to do when you don't kneejerk reaction to people being emotional and don't change how you are just because someone shuns you for it
manipulation through peer pressure or manipulation through appeal to emotion doesn't matter if you don't jump when they play their tune
if you eat the bee's and behave in pragmatic almost callous way to other people trying to pull your strings you will be fine in the end but the road will be rocky 
beats sitting in the mud by the side of the road there next to them pointing at people who walk on with sneer and whisper
