I've changed a total of two times
in my life. The change I've just
completed is for the better of me
and my social life. Though I can
admit it helps me with helping
other people with their issues. I'm
ready for another change, because
I've gotten meaner, sadly D; |

I think people can and do change.
For example, an actor/actress can
become the character; an adoptive
parent can become a mom or dad.
People decide to loose weight and
become thin. Or to become a doctor
or a lawyer. Smokers become
non-smokers. Each decision we make
will require a change to
accommodate the new thing we
become. I am personally very glad
that we can choose to change from
inexperienced, immature to
experienced, mature human beings.
We do not have to be "stuck." |

Speaking from personal experience
absolutely. I was always of the
belief that once puberty has been
attained we are set basically for
life. I have changed dramatically
in my thought processes and whats
more is, that i like myself better
as a person. I do not want to go
into details but as a taster i was
born and bred in a staunchly
republican stronghold in northern
ireland. I married a british
soldiers widow, who is also a
protestant and i formally adopted
his three sons and raised them as
my own. They are now in their 30s
and practice their own faiths as
they see fit. We are very close. |

Yes we can change our personality
traits, by sheer will power and
determination |
25 Aug 2007 12:33

|
Yes people are capable of changing
but I think the younger you are the
easier it is. Because as we get
older we get set in our ways |

Some of the traits I can but others
well....that's another story. |
29 Aug 2008 21:32

|
Not to go into detail but I know
for a fact some people can change
the way they act, their whole life
and life style. I did it and if I
can anyone can. |

For the most part.. Change comes
from growth and experience.. IF we
are able to recognize patterns in
our life that cause us problems..
And If we sincerely want to change
those patterns we can alter our
actions or reactions to change the
outcome. Whatever is at the "CORE"
of our personality.. The mind
Governs it.. And If you can control
your mind.. You can make any change
you want. Just like a drug addict
learns what triggers them to use
and can learn to AVOID those
triggers and lead a drug free
life.. Anyone can change a learned
behavior if they Recognize the
cause of the behavior and make a
conscious effort to change it. To
say It is impossible to change who
you are - or the way you handle
things is Merely a lack of personal
accountability. |

I think people can change if they
want to but not if that's what
other people want them to be. |

I reckon i could..only if i really
want to change.. |
25 Apr 2008 07:59
|
|
Yes I can, if I am motivated and
committed enough. |
14 Apr 2008 12:37
|
|
Yes ,i believe you can change but
only if you are willing to admit
that you need to change. |
05 Mar 2008 01:31

Yes, I believe people can change
their personality traits. We
can develop new qualities and get
rid of some of our weaknesses.
We just have to want to
want. I have seen enormous
positive changes in my personality
over the years. But i have to
admit, I don't know if I could have
done it without Gods help.

I think that it would be impossible
to change your personality trait.
You may mask it and hold back your
feelings, but in time of anger and
stress, the true you will come out.
We are all born this way. |
16 Feb 2008 19:54
|
|
Change personality traits....no.
However, I believe it is possible
to change BEHAVIORS through
positive support and the desire to
change. |
16 Feb 2008 19:45
|
|
It is a decision to change and it
can be accomplished only if you
really choose to change |
01 Feb 2008 04:59

|
Yes people can change who they are,
i did i changed into the person i
am know because i have found my
true self and if you don't know who
you are which a lot of people don't
know until they go through certain
experiences and life events then
you could change into a completely
different person |
30 Jan 2008 14:35

|
Yes people are capable of changing
given first, the capacity to
reflect on themselves honestly,
and second, some sense of a higher
meaning and purpose than basic ego
drives (and I'm not talking
about religion), to motivate them. |
13 Jan 2008 09:38

|
People can definitely change they
just need a good reason to do it |
10 Jan 2008 00:40
|
|
Yes people can change they just
have to want to. It has to be worth
it to them |
29 Dec 2007 02:00

|
Anybody can change as long it is
for the good. With God anything is
possible... Just like my life... |
19 Dec 2007 19:31
|
|
Hell yeah I have to admit
we are Not just friends most people
are lovers.Love and be loved |
14 Dec 2007 00:12
|
|
You can change as long as you have
the desire to change |
09 Dec 2007 09:28

Yes if you really want to change
you can ......and if you have a
reason to change you can i use to
be a really nasty person that i
know noone wanted to be around
because i was miserable and unhappy
and i wanted everybody else to be
they same way i just found out my
husband left me for my best friend
and everything after that was a
bust ....then one day i met my new
husband and i fell in love as if
it were the first time and i became
a nicer person and had a different
attitude and loved life so if you
dont think peiple can change they

Heck Sissy, If you knew me in the
70's you would freak out now! I'm
so easy going now, but if your a
man I wouldn't slap me ever!
In the 70's I was 6'2", 195 lbs., a
Bull Rider, working Cowboy, good
looking, hard as a rock, and not
afraid to kiss a rattle snake!
Now I wish to never hurt a living
thing the rest of my life, and walk
with the man, but I still wear my
flag bandana and wore out Stetson!
(my trade mark)
I owe it all to Sen Quillan Yancey
who didn't tell me he lived it in
front of me while I ran his Ranch
and a Cowboy can not argue with
that!

I agree with what they talk about
as I believe that people can change
to the way that they want,I think
the steadily people are more of the
older as they have already their
experiences .but I think we can
change from all age just only our
decision and will if we want, as we
need to change it mean only to
develop our mind to adopt to our
situation etc,,,,,, |
28 Aug 2007 11:29

I think certain situations can
bring about a change. I used to be
super outgoing and now I tend to be
more shy; it's like my whole
personality changed |
26 Aug 2007 23:26

Yes people can change if they
truely want too but change takes
work and dedication so yes if a
person wants to change they will. |
26 Aug 2007 22:20

People can definitely change. They
just need a strong motivation. If
the change is for the better than
they should go for it. |
26 Aug 2007 11:24
|
|
Yes. I think people can
do anything they set their mind to
do. Anyone that says i can't
is just making an excuse for not
wanting to try or just plain not
wanting to change. Sometimes it's
just the though of something
different and people like to be
comfortable. And change isn't
always comfortable. |
26 Aug 2007 01:04

|
Yeah, I think people can change,
actually, Now I am not what I used
to be, and environment affects
people in a very important way... |
25 Aug 2007 18:04
|
|
Of course people can change, You
just have to want to and then
actually do it. |

 No chance, by the age of , oh say
about 6 or 7 your pretty much
cooked. After that it's all just
about making very
minimalistic/outward changes to
please society, to be polite and
fit in. In short, i believe that
you are a pretty much a piece of
clay, flexible, perhaps, but
destined to return to your basic
shape and with any luck, w/o the
possible pain , hurt and/or rage
that attends to that regrouping of
self. |

Typically, Psychologists say that
our personalities are set. I know
that provided they have the
motivation most people can change
their attitude. If you change your
attitude or your perspective, then
it's not unusual for your behavior
to change. The way I see it,
there's a lot about me that I'm
unable to change.... But, I've
changed my disposition or my
attitude. They say, When the pain
of staying the same is harder than
the fear of change, people change.
Let's look at it another way.
Johnny is experiencing difficulty
in some of his interpersonal
relations. He is introspective and
after some time passes, he becomes
aware that he is self defeating.
Johnny wants to improve his
interpersonal skills because he is
unhappy with things the way they
are. He is committed to making
things better so he works to change
his behavior. Through changing his
behavior, others react more
favorably and this is what is
called positive reinforcement.
Johnny decides that he will make
the behavior change permanent.
However, Johnny's basic temperment
remains the same. |

I think people can't change. But
some other characters may be added.
And i think it depends on society
which is around u- to be good or to
be bad |

It's true that our personalities
are pretty much formed in
childhood, but that doesn't mean we
can't change our behavior or
channel our personalities in other
directions.
Basically, I have the same
personality I did growing up, but
my behavior has changed. The
traits I developed are still part
of me, yet I'm not the same person
I was then, in high school, or in
college. I have had experiences
and have met people that have had
profound effects on me. I have
been able to change my life
accodingly and for the better I
believe. |
