Avoid trying to “fix” the other person. It’s tempting to want to fix the other person, especially if you care about them. However, you can’t change another person’s thoughts or behaviors, and trying will only make the situation worse. Instead, focus on yourself.
- Trying to change the other person will frustrate both you and them.
- Learning to control your reactions to the other person and to support your own emotions will have a bigger impact toward fixing your relationship.
