The way I see it, you can solve that in two ways. One is to focus on how you're 'turning down something they think is important'. Being critical and judgmental plants no good seeds that the listener will make the effort to grow consciously. I'm not saying you're being too frank and demanding, but a better approach is simply asking questions of why a person wants to live the way they do. The object is to help them ask these questions for themselves so that they may awaken to their courage and potential within. You're there to help those who really want the aid and simply act as an awareness supercharger that works simply by being around you and following your example of how to live consciously.
The other method is to work on your own thoughts. If you're complaining (no matter if it's internally or externally) about how some people treat you or think about you, then you're only perpetuating and repeating what you're thinking. The superconscious may not understand nots, and dont wants. That's why I-M is to be used for what we want and not to state what we don't want, because it doesn't necessarily understand negatively flipped phrases of wording. Think about it. Do we first experience a poor circumstance and then complain about it, or do we first complain about our circumstances and then manifest them because we think them? The mind is a powerful tool.
