@bot It might be some non-enlightened impulse masquerading as wisdom, but, I don't think you can fix someone who doesn't want to be fixed. This is why addicts and such have to hit "rock-bottom."
It lines up well with my persuasion is coercion bit, because "fixing" someone only ever results in meaningful change when it comes from within the person themselves, you cannot force them to be fixed if they are not on board.
I also sometimes say that something sufficiently traumatic has to happen as a prerequisite for every time you change; people are prone to inertia and only big pain points consistently get them to seriously reevaluate.
Anyway.
