Dr. Aziz describes the Fixer personality in relationships: someone driven by anxiety and guilt who over-functions to prevent burdening others, denies their own needs, and hides vulnerabilities to avoid judgment or rejection.

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.
