There’s always been the saying that men try to “fix “ women’s problems when all women really want them to do is listen.
Do you remember the movies called “Legally Blonde “ with Reese Witherspoon? Amazon prime has created a streaming series called. “Elle” showing the main character navigating high school.
She’s a very genuinely kind person, but she goes around trying to”fix” everybody’s problem and usually ends up making them worse or creating new ones
Sometimes we just have to survive issues and not try to “fix” them. Not everything is fixable.

I didn't know of this series. I would check it out. I think women are guiltier of trying to "fix" men than the other way around.

Well, that reminds me of another old saying. Women marry men with the goal of changing them and men marry women with a goal of the woman staying the same.

I agree not everything can be fixed.
When a friend tells me his or her problem, I just listen. I know they tell me because they only wanted someone to listen to them.

@looeyville I can’t stand it when people try to fix me. All I need is to be able to say that life sucks, I don’t need anyone to suggest solutions. Am I becoming a woman perhaps?!

You are right we need to survive issues instead of trying to fix them.

Just loved Legally Blonde and her little doggy and cheered for her at the end. The second one is great too,
