Sometimes it's good to give people what they ask for [insist on], even if it does not make a sense.

No anxiety needed.

Then calmly explain that the reason things didn't work out as [they] expected is because in real world things doesn't work the way they want or fantasy about.

Suggest better approach. If they refuse and keep doing [asking] the same thing all over again and expect a different result - then let it be their insanity [or anxiety], not yours.
