do most people change?

Everyone knows someone who has changed since they first met, i think. but are there people in your lives that have pretty much stayed the same when you first met them?

i was listening to some of my old cds and this one song mentioned that some people never change, what you guys think?

 

Well no matter what people change, because they have experiences that change them. If experiences didn't change them then they must not have a soul. But yeah mabey some people don't change very much while others change alot.

 

Hi,

it depends on the age of the person and the time frame you lock at. I had changed a lot in some areas in my twenties, but my fundamental traits of character are the same as ever. In this sense people never change. An introvert for instance remains an introvert. She might open in some aspects, but she will never become a extroverted person.

And often, I guess, we wonder how a person has changed over some time, but it is only because we know the person better now or we forget some character traits of her or him.

I've found that inherent characteristics usually stay the way they've always been regardless of age.

Some will do a really big job of trying to make it appear that they've changed over the years, but many times they're putting on an act or they're in some kind of transition to mix in the old with slightly newer outside aspects...by which after that's passed, the old will seem more prominent over time.

 

people definitely change.always.

 

I think it depends on the person. I think it also depends on what you mean by "change". I can think of a few people who definitely have changed over the years, and unfortunately for the worse in their cases. All the other people I've known for a long time haven't really changed much. They've simply become older and evolved some in terms of their intellectuality. But I wouldn't call that "change" necessarily.

As for me, I don't think I have changed much since I was a kid. I might look a bit different than when I was 12, but my personality generally hasn't changed. I'm another one of those who evolve mentally without making drastic transitions.

 

i'd have to agree with this.

 

i like what you said. makes sense. but sometimes i feel like damn they have changed so much and i am the same as i always was.

 

Hi,

I guess most of the others have the same thoughts . Hm, it might be sad but understandable to break with people or friends if there are no common interests or values anymore.

Certain characteristics of people do change...somewhat, but their basic personalities don't change.

 

yes people change some dont everyone's different and depends on type of crowd of people they hang around with

 

Thankfully, yes, most people do change. Your clothes do tend to get a bit whiffy after a while if you don't.

 

Fundamentally, people don't change. They do however have the potential to grow. It is the ones who wish to ascend what will. The ones who don't won't. But, sometimes through some kind of life changing event, it is at that point, people can take the steps in growth.

So, if you are with someone in HOPES of change, it will not happen.

 

No, some people never change....I know of a few.....Its just who they are.

 

He will never commit to you.

 

I know I've changed with age. When I was 18 yrs old into my early 20's I was an untamable girl. I cheated on boyfriends, I was into the whole casual sex thing and very much on drugs. I'm 28 now and I will say that (maybe it has to do with age) I dunno - but I don't do these things anymore and never will. I would NEVER cheat on a boyfriend and even tho staying sober is REALLY hard...I've been clean since August. Tho, I do know some people that haven't changed with age and may never. An ex of mine was someone that professed he would "change" for me. He was 32 and on drugs and a complete "playa". I put trust in that -twice- and each time he let me down because I caught him in lie upon lie upon lie. He's one person I don't think will EVER change. He's with a new girl now (who is just stupid enough to be manipulated by him) and he's workin' her for all she's worth. She takes care of him financially too. AND.....he cheated on her with me. So....some do and some don't I guess

 

in my experience most people change---with age---hormone levels change causing mental and physical changes---and hormones effect personalities as well---imo that is

 

Everybody changes because of life experiences. If you want to stay in sync with your partner, you have to make sure you share plenty of common experiences.

 

Hi,

how much is too much? Is there something like too much? I think so.
