Do people ever truly change?
Lazy people. Violent people. Cheaters.
Are people capable of ever really changing?

To some extent. Someone with a certain temperament or distinction in personality will probably retain that, but I believe things that have been learned and general outlooks can be changed. One thing for certain, is that change will never occur unless the person accepts it. You can't force change. You can imprison and torture someone to death, but if they honestly do not perceive what they did as wrong, they will never truthfully submit. So, I think a distinction has to be made between central identities of individuals, and pieces of themselves that they can accept change in. Someone who is born, raised, and lived with an aggressive temperament will probably be short-tempered, however, what they experience through life and how they perceive that will be the deciding factor if they are going to beat their wife. This is why there is that whole hysteria against hitting kids as discipline, because it's shown that victims of abuse as children have a higher probability of beating their kids. But, it's not about whether a kid got beat up as a kid or not, we know that because I'm sure if anyone here never got hit as a child, their parents got hit, and they may have turned out fine. We have to make the distinction of how the child's temperament filters this, how the individual has perceived and experienced the world, how the abuse as a child affected that, and how that affect carries on to his perception and outward expression later in life. But we have to note that, this is all reliant on the individual's perception, and their willingness to accept change in their ideology (subconsciously and consciously). Psychological development is really an amazingly intriguing topic.

4 RepliesWhy do people need to change, Why because you don't like them and you think their wrong. Don't change just be yourself and -blam!- anyone who doesn't like it

Yes, I believe that current circumstances dictate current mentality. Change those circumstances and then mentality will change.

Depends on the person. I would say about less then half the population is capable of change, and most of them need to hit rock bottom for it to happen.

People in general: maybe a little from time to time, usually learning from mistakes and successes. People that pile of shit: no, I never give them a second chance. Even if I got an apology, I wouldn't accept it unless I saw proof that person is no longer a complete shit.

no. you will always revert to the sniveling piece of shit you are.

No one needs to change

Most people are actually incapable from perceiving anything from any perspective other than their own------> This means such simple minded people [b][i][u]are[/u][/i][/b] incapable of change. They could change; if they ever took the time to consider alternate perspectives and if they ever actually wanted and took the effort to change------> this barely ever happens though.

I think it's possible for something big -- a traumatic accident, an illness, etc. -- to change someone, but barring that I think once you hit 15-18 or so your personality is pretty much set for life.

2 RepliesYou can change how someone acts but you can't change how someone thinks.

I think so. Maybe it isn't possible for everyone, but for some, I think so.

1 ReplyNot really. They'll lie and kept up an act long enough for you to get suckered back in, though.

1 ReplyWhen I look back on what I used to be like I question if I'm even the same person. So yes.
