Dr. Aziz describes the Fixer personality type, driven by anxiety and guilt. Fixers convince themselves they have no needs and over-function to take on others' burdens, creating unhealthy boundaries between helping and self-denial.

The Fixer lives in anxiety. If someone's gonna be upset with me and guilt. I've done something wrong. I haven't done enough. Let me take on more. Let me take on more. Let me over-function to make sure that no one is burdened. Fixers like to say, well, not out loud, but they like to pretend, I have no needs. I'm not a burden. I'm not a bother. I just, I'd whatever you want. I'm just a 100% giver, 100% output. Don't need to receive anything myself.
