Do you believe that people can change?

Personally, I think not. I think that if a child is born it gains a personality, and he/she is hooked up to that personality for the rest of his/her life.

That doesn't say that people cannot act in a different way than before, they just cannot change their personality. In my opinion.

 

Of course people can change with time. I did.

 

you see this seems debateable.

I've notice people can have minor personality changes spontaneously, but never a huge personality shift intentionally.

 

People change, depending what situations they are in, and what happens to them. If I was myself when I was 14, I wouldn't even recognize me now. I dyed my hair, changed the way I dress and what I do for hobbies, and my friends.

 

True, if someone went through a life or death experience, it can change them. Make them (In most cases) a better person.

 

I think people can change. If they REALLY want to. Like, if some major event happened that made them change or made them want to, then yes.

People are stubborn though, and their raised a certain way and think a certain way and after a while you're just use to who you are. Then it's really hard to change. ​

 

For sure people can change if they really have a will to. But that's just like getting rid of bad habits and becoming a different person. We as teenagers make little changes about ourselves in our lives. Like what we eat, do, and what our interests are.

If someone is looking to change characteristics, then that's a different story. It could be hard, since your use to feeling the way you do and the way you act. People just need a way to change and mostly a will like I just said. Other wise, it's not going to happen.

 

I think people can change a lot and that they change all the time.

 

of course people can change its human nature

 

I think people can, but I think it would take a long time for the people around you to believe the change is genuine and not just being two-faced.

 

if they actually try, and dont just change when your around, then yes

 

I think people do change but it's not on their own will. I think that if something happens in their life that causes enough impact on them then it could change their personality (ie. a friend commits suicide and so that person then becomes very appreciative about life...though that's a pretty macabre example)

If a person just wakes up one day and wishes to be a kinder person, I think it'll take a lot of willpower and discipline to accomplish that. I also think that most people just don't have that kind of resolve to actually change their personality for long term (maybe for a few days they'll be kinder, but it will still be a forced attempt and not their automatic response).

 

I honestly think it depends on who you're dealing with. Everyone's different.

The time people change the most, though, is as they're growing up. That's a given thing.

 

Each of us is stuck being who we are. We can try to change what we do, but we can't change who we are. Or at least it's just what I think.

 

*sigh* I change every morning on a school day. Mythoughts are different in school than out because of this. 2 minds are difficult to understand.

 

no, i dont think that you can change a person, no matter how much they want to change or how hard they try.....they will always be the same person on the inside....that is my view of the question.....

 

if someone really, 200+% wants to change themselves, then they can do it. otherwise, no. you are who you are.

 

yeah they can, they change physically and mently. They change how they react to people and treat people and of course change looks.

 

Doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. People change and that is fact.

I don't think it is something that we neccessarily have control over, and it isn't something that can be easily forced, but it does definitely happen.

Think of how you were when you were say, 5, then compare that to when you were 10, then compare both of those to now. People change.

Sadly it isn't always for the best.

 

You can't change who you are, or what you were born to be. But then again, if you are the type of person who is willing to change, you can. It all depends on who you really are. [astrology is undoubtedly correct all the time]

If you were to change, would it be because of those influencing you? it could be your lifestyle you want to change, or the way you dress, eat, act and behave, and that's fine.

I don't think people change just like that *snaps fingers* these things take time and care. If you are going to change, be careful of what you change about yourself, you could end up regretting it.

Just because some say that's how it should be, doesn't mean it has to be.
