Hmm, I think most people do grow and develop even without immersing into PD the way people on these boards do. I've witnessed many friends go through big life changes and come to realisations that sound very much like PD stuff. Not all people are interested in gaining any higher consciousness either, and that's fine.
You can still learn from those people, you can still enjoy their company. When it comes to family and the button pushing, I think you can view it as a growth experience. See if they still manage to push that button. And when they don't, you realise that's no longer an issue for you/you don't care if they try because you don't feel any need to react to it.
