My baby isnt doing well, she has many damaged/cut leaves from when i first got her, she has a big mushy brown spot on one leaf, and the leafs look some what curled at the edges aswell and bent, help! Should i prune all the damaged leafs? Will it ruin how much grows back?

6” pot without drainage

The pot is rather big and without drainage. These two factors may easily lead to overwatering.
1) The roots, which are rather small and shallow, do not absorb water from so much soil in a big pot. So, roots sit in water for too long.
You'll make it easier for yourself and for the plant if you repot it to a pot with drainage and to a pot that is smaller.

@wearenature The pot might be too large, but more importantly, no drainage is an issue.
As other said, they don’t like to be waterlogged and a terracotta pot might help get rid of excess moisture. My baby rubber plant went through this too. I had first treated it for pests, and chopped off the damaged leaves. As long as you keep your chopping to less than 30% it will bounce back and fill out nicely.
Chopping and grooming the plant won’t hurt and it will inspire new growth.
