Potential for change

Just before going off to work - for which I am grateful even though the prospect of staying in the garden is more attractive right now...

Are people capable of change?

No, I dont mean haircuts, weight loss, new make...

I mean in their personalities?

Have a good day everybody xxx

I think so, to a degree....

have been out of work for a while, and having no transport, living in middle of nowhere etc etc means that I spend a lot of my time with just the animals for company

has been a time of reflection, and a passage of time where I have started to become more reclusive. Upshot is that I have become quieter and more introspective when I do go out

Once a bastard always a bastard many say! But In reality every one evolves throughout life. I am a little surprised you need to ask this question. The question should be do people want to change their personality.

yes i can empathise with that Stu,its the same when i had a spell of unemployment last year the effects were rapid ,both in terms of self esteem and in a wish to close off from engaging with others.

I have changed so much since i was 20. Ive become far more confident but on the other hand i have calmed down so much. I used to be wild and i guess there will always be that streak in me. Also i guess ive become more responsible having brought a child into the world. But i was pretty wild in my younger days lol

was pretty wild n crazy too when i was younger....and not in what most people would call a good or a fun way....like to think that side of me is dead and buried now and that I am a completely different person to the one i was back then

I think people can change. To do it themselves can take a massive ammount of time/effort and dedication but sometimes something happens in their lives that does it for them and changes them overnight. For me the death of my mother changed me in a lot of ways, especially my priorities and outlook on life in general.

" The question should be do people want to change their personality."

Not sure I would refer to people as bastards other than in jest but : Yes, excellent idea - I will use that suggestion of yours for another thread

That was what I as aiming at with my original thread - precisely that.

I feel I have changed over the years and some of my juvenile prejudice and assumptions about other people has thankfully given way to a (hopefully) more mature and forgiving stance.

I think we do - and growing up and maturing does not have to be all bad

Absolutely agree - a loss of a close friend of family member can have a profound effect on somebody's life and their personal and emotional development.

DO you feel you are a "better" person for that or just different?
