I understand what you are feeling—my boyfriend does the same thing. Whenever there is anything slightly “wrong” he feels compelled to figure it out and fix it.

I seem to want to figure things out, but I am often paralyzed when it comes to actually trying to fix things. I come up with all these great ideas on how to make things better, but I have a tough time acting on them.

Sometimes when my boyfriend is trying to fix things I want to tell him to just chill—let things alone for awhile—sometimes things just need a little time. Of course, I think a balance between our 2 styles would be best.
