How much is too much?

I often here that u can never change a person... but what if they do need guidance in changing how far would you go... i mean u can't just leave everybody u should also make them change if uts not serving them anyone or themselves right? if its the right thing to do... shouldn't we do that

So who is it you want to change? How do YOU decide what is and isn't serving that person? If you feel you need to change someone, then you don't really love them, you love what you have projected onto them as the person you want them to be. It's better to find someone you love just the way they are. People do change, but it has to be their own internal process, not an external pressure from you to make them a "better" person according to you.

Yeah, sure. But just focus on YOU first. Then, if you end up not being a complete disaster, try to influence the people closest to you. That's all you need to do.

We should all be encouraged by our lived ones to grow and change. That said, you hafta know when to stop and either accept them or alter the relationship.

Navigating the waters of change in a relationship is like dancing in the rain; it's all about finding that sweet spot between getting soaked and enjoying the rhythm. It's true, darling, we can't magically transform someone, but guiding them towards their best self? Now, that's a duet worth considering. The key is support, not push. Encourage, don’t enforce. Share insights and resources they might find helpful, but remember, you're the lighthouse, not the captain of their ship. The moment it feels like you're trying too hard, or the changes are more for your benefit than theirs, it might be time to step back. Change is a personal journey, after all. It’s about inspiring, not requiring. Keep the love and respect flowing, and who knows? They might just surprise you. 😊💫

The stupidest thing about the AI here isn't just that they say very little in many words... but the utter obsession with ridiculous aquatic metaphors (and diving in particular).
