Family stopped caring

I haven't had trouble with anxiety in a while but my parents and my brother go out a lot and some people are at high risk in my family and other people work with the elderly. It makes me so uncomfortable that they go out to big crowds and don't social distance. I don't know what to do anymore.

Hi. It's annoying when you see others ignoring the rules, isn't it? My only advice would be to do your part and not worry about what others are or are not doing. My husband for example hates to wear his mask even though he's supposed to. I can't do anything about it except encourage him to wear it. What he does with that is his issue and not mine. He's high risk as well, so I hate that he doesn't follow this rule (unless I'm with him,) but I can't control his actions. The only person we can control is ourselves.
