You can’t “fix” someone especially if they don’t see anything wrong with them, like a narcissist you’d never fix them or change them the only one changing is you.


You can help a person who wants to change but you can’t change them or fix them.


Some people are born the way they are,


I’m the product of abuse my ex said I’m broken and need fixing,


I’m not broken I don’t need to be fixed I’m me I’m the way I am because of what I was put through as a child. Yes I’m different to other people but that just makes me unique not broken.

Nope you can't fix someone else however you can be the support system to encourage them and help them pick themselves up and dust off when they fall it's a very long a tedious situation if you don't have the ability to see them fall and get back up you should move on to someone else cause it can be detrimental to them otherwise 7 years later and I'm still in this tedious process with my wife

I don’t really like fixers, that aspect of person I mean. They are massive control freaks and while most have their intentions in wanting to be helpful, it doesn’t work

A lot Of them neglect to realize that just because they perceive a change of things to be better doesn’t mean that perception or exact change is what the person/group wants/needs. They only want that change because it would align to their needs before the others. Some are in denial about that. That’s okay. We’re human.

Fixing is probably not the right or most appropriate word, but people can have an enormous impact on one another, so, help, or a dedicated ear, or words of kindness or wisdom can, potentially, help someone at a pivotal moment or dark time, to the point of setting their life on a different path, even if at the time it may seem inconsequential.

You cannot. But you can help them see the light for themselves, should the want to.

Bad habits can be fixed but not personality.
