I know it usually comes from a place of compassion, but trying to change anyone who hasn't explicitly requested help doing so pretty much always results in conflict, resentment, and estrangement if it continues too long, at least in my experience. I've been on both sides and it sucks for everyone. Still dealing with the fallout of a failed relationship that had this problem (them trying to change me) and I still feel so worthless and broken... I just want to be good enough today ðŸ˜
