I am not broken, and do not need to be fixed

Living a comfortable happy carefree (note sarcasm) new-agey life here in Vibrational Health Village sometimes has its little sections of rocky hazardous road.

Fixers make the road to optimum health and thriving enlightenment (sarcasm again) quite rocky at times.

Fixers are the "friends" who cannot seem to let well-enough alone. They think they must tell you if your skirt is slightly uneven at the bottom, even if others would need a microscope to even notice the unevenness. They think they must walk right into others' personal space and take dog hairs off of their clothing with an oddly disapproving expression on their faces. If anything about you is even slightly out of adjustment in their perception, they cross personal borders without a second thought in order to "fix" you.

Hello...fixers....I'm not broken and I don't want to be fixed...not by you...and not by anyone unless I ask.

I respect others' boundaries. I do not try to fix my friends. I aspire to surround myself with friends I can accept unconditionally. While this is an ever-evolving effort, I continue to aspire.

Fixers...you know who you are, and whether you realize it or not, this constant compulsion to fix & adjust others is a control trip.

Please respect the personal space and dignity of other people, and I will continue to respect yours, too.

Thank you.
