Do you believe people can change?
Some people think people can't change, and that's the way they are. I believe anyone can change themselves somewhat, not massively but they can change in certain areas. I mean, we all change our opinions on things, what we liked when we were young is probably not what we like now for example.
It's amazing how much we change when we're with a certain person, us humans seem to have an ability to 'mimic' the person we're with. Our accent may change slightly, the influence we get off them will brush onto us, we may start to share the same opinions on things, we may copy things they say, and so on.
I think it would take something big to make a person change, something to make them really realize and want to be the person they want to be.
I believe its a conscience thing, you'll eventually go back to the way you normally are, the person you are and want to be. But I do believe a person can change, it depends on their attitude, etc. Most may be kidding themselves that they have changed.
Answer:
Yes people can change, take me for example, i went from redneck to " gangsta" to goth to punk and now im just jeans a t shirt, im more laid back and just kind of go with the flow, i used to be homophobic and now im not, i used to be depressed and now im not, i used to be a lot of bad things and now im not because i changed. I'm living proof people can change. So yea people can change for better or worse, but its rare that someone will change to be with someone else because if they have to change to be with that person then that person doesnt actually love them for who they are, they love them for who they could be. Which is retarded and for somereason lots of people seem to do that. But i agree people do change when there around other people even i do a little, this doesnt mean im influenced by them just simply want to fit it a little more which is only human and im perfectly fine with it, and you have a good view on this subject, thats one thing you shouldnt change
absolutely!
i strongly believe the words found at Ephesians 4:22, 23 which say, "that you should put away the old personality which conforms to your former course of conduct and which is being corrupted according to his deceptive desires; but that you should be made new in the force actuating your mind."
PEOPLE CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT IF THEY REALLY WANT IT AND PUT THEIR MIND INTO IT
That's So True
If people couldn't change a lot of therapists would be out of work.
Of course people can change..but only if they truly want to.
I think people can change their life style but not so much who they are.
they could but not most
as quoted best on "Scrubs": "People are bastard-coated bastards with bastard-filling!" no, leopard can't change spots
we can evolve, become more mature, smarter, wiser, and change from that.
but only at our own pace.
I was taught this
Only God can change you, trying to change all by yourself would be a complete waste of time.
Of Course People Can Change .. Think About We Dont Grow Up And Still Talk Like Baby's We Talk Like Adults Or At Least Most Of Us Do That Is A Change.. Our Personalities Change And Develope As We Get Older That Is Change...
But Also That Person Has To Have A Mindset To Change Wheter It Be For A Positive Or A Negative Change...
Well, I think so. A bad quality. Like, being conceited, being mean without realizing it, things like that. But sometimes people want to change, but they think there's nothing to change.. So.. they don't know that they should change, I guess. Sorry if this sounds silly.
I think very few people are willing to put in the effort to change, but they could if they wanted.
yes they can change. But sometimes it takes a while like a long time for them to change. Just like friends when your ready to move on but ur friend hasn't u shouldn't always wait.
I beleive that most people can change, but old habits keep them at who they are, and i also think alot of people want to change, but really dont know how. over all, if people really tryed hard enough they can change.
I think it depends on your age. Asking my 70 yr old grandpa to change after he's been doing the same thing for the past 70 yrs...is not possible.
Sometimes...
My guy friend is a sex addict. and his ((now ex)) gf tried to change him.. But he cheated on more then just 20 times!
But there is alwayz one of mi other friends. He smokes. and he said he could never quite. It was to hard for him. But all of his friends((including me)) helped him. And he did quite smokking..
SO that is a sometimes, answer.
Of course! But they have to WANT to change.
Some things people cannot changes,
somethings its jus tin peoples personality
and theres nothing they can do about it.
like my boyfriend broke up with me
because i was such a ***** and i didnt let people walk all over me and tell me what to do, but when i realized that i didnt want him to leave more than anything, i was still a *****, but not towards him, and i controlled myself when it came around him, so i changed on that part, but being a total *** about everything never changed ! ha
but i do believe that there are certainly things that people can do to change, if they really want to but some things people cannot and just how they were either brought up, or how theyve acted for so long.
♥
Well base on the human society, and culture, peoples changing by some part of time, or period, or event longer, it just the passion's of everyone, some peoples changing their life, change the personality, or event the whole thing of thier life (not mention about Michael Jackson) but i believe a lot of peoples change over time, and otherwise they stay the same, but mostly seen that peoples is really changing over a period of time.
Your comments and thoughts are somewhat conflicted. I also think people can change but I think its hard to do. Its probably something that has to be thought about all the time. For instance, alcoholics who want to quit drinking have a really hard time. Thats why they say "one day at a time" because you can only focus that much concentration on one day at a time, I imagine. I'm not an alcoholic but I know how difficult it is to quit. I don't know the true meaning behind one day at a time though, I'm just assuming.
i think people can change because i have! i yes or so ago i was hanging out with the wrong crowd and changing the way i acted, how i thought and dressed etc because that's how they did. then i started thinking hat this is not me at all i don't even like this I'm just doing it because its "cool"...but last march i was in a wreck and could have died, and i guess that's when the change really hit me and i am a totally different person! and i am happier than ever before...
The tigers never lose their stripes. Meaning people do not change except perhaps temporarily
Situations and religion can change people. Sometimes it is a slow progress but anyone can change if they desire.
it depends on the person the difference between the impossible and possible depends on that persons determination so yes i do believe that sorry a little cheesy
Yes, I became a different person to please my husband, I haven't really been happy cause, that's not who I'am, and not being able to talk to my freinds and family, has made me very unhappy...you are the person that you are, changes are good if it makes you a better person ...be good and true to yourself and others..
People have learned behaviors from peers,work,home or whatever is a constant in their lives. People can change thier behavior or attitude if they want to. Some can't like the mentally disabled,but most "normal" people can. In some cases,certain exterme situations may cause a person to change behavior & attitude, but changes can be permanent.
Saw a quote once.
"People don't change, they just learn to cover their tracks."
Don't know who said it :P
People are constantly changing. Who you are at 15 is not who you'll be at 40 or at 70. The change, however, is rarely planned but rather a culmination to date of lifes experiences and how the person responded to them.
You are right about it being a conscience effort when a person tries to change their base nature. Ergo, a person never really changes his/her base nature but rather gives the illusion of change. One slip and they risk going right back to where they started. True change would mean that the risk of backsliding no longer exists, and I believe that kind of change is rare, if not impossible.
Rarely...,
but if you look like your avatar,I think many guys will pretend to change their attitude to please you.
