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 |

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. |

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? |

"I didnt change my personality over night. It just evolved. Still have the wild streak at times though"
And dont loose that - ever- it is like an inner free spirited child - so healthy to have and be yourself. |
