I have a friend who wants to be a better person. They have come out and asked me how to do this. The problem is that they are also not willing to admit that they may not be perfect in any but the most abstract ways. They will say the words 'I am not perfect and I need to improve' and ask what to do, but as soon as I say anything specific they take it as a personal attack and get angry.
@inmysocks It's almost like they're just trying to be modest while still thinking they're the best thing ever.
@aylab unfortunately it isn't almost like that, I think that it is exactly like that.

@inmysocks You should hold a "this is why you're not perfect" party and point out all of their things that need changing. You may never hear from them again, but it'll get them to open their eyes.

It's like an intervention.
