• Do you think people can change? Why or why not?
    How much can someone change? Is there a limit? At this point we can change anything physically so this mainly has to do with mentality, emotions, and actions.


  • Well your being can never change beacuse you where born a specific way and all what you learn is just a paint job to hide the genetic you so no you can never change

    so to give you an example the painting aint squar beacuse the painter inteded it or the painting feels square the paint is squar beacuse the canvas and no one can change the canvas.


  • @alkal33 You can cut the canvas, or tear it, you can get creative and even add onto it.


  • @TheGoldenMole is it then still a painting or performance art
    is it still you


  • @TheGoldenMole

    Don't believe people can change, tho they can adapt to a certain person / group of people / society, but their personality hardly ever changes.


  • Yes, people can change.


  • @TheGoldenMole Nope ppl can't change bt if they change then
    there is something selfish evil reason must be there :joy:


  • @TheGoldenMole
    Ofcourse they can. Its never too late to change. Change is the only constant.
    We often see movie actors undergoing a change for different roles not just physically, but also mentally to completely submerge themselves in the character. Or we hear people saying that a relationship, friendship or break-up totally changed them. The thing about the world is that you need to change. It always has been and will be the survival of the fittest.....If you can't change and adapt yourself to the changes around you, you wouldn't be able to survive.

    I personally believe in always evolving and you can only evolve if you change and you can only change if you learn. I'm a totally different guy from what I was say about 10 years ago. I have always believed in changing. If somebody meets me after an year or two and says that "You're still the same"... it feels like an insult. It seems to me that I haven't learned much in the last year and I consider that as wastage of precious time aka failure. So there is no limit to changing yourself if you've the will to change and act upon it. Its fun being limitless and constantly pushing the boundaries.


  • Yes, people change constantly. I´m not the person I was at 14 years old nor the girl who entered school for first time, I´m not even the person I was one year before, when I joined Tws.

    We are forced to evolve depending on our circumstances and how life traits us, we grow more confident or insecure, cynical or carefree based on good and bad experiences, on frustrated expectations and dreams that we could fulfill.

    Of course some people instead of changing will hide their flaws and pretend they are someone else, but that doesn´t mean humans aren´t able to change. It´s in our nature.


  • @alkal33 changing the shape doesn't change the art on it, the way changing your hair color doesn't change your personality. So yes, I think it is still "you"


  • @Lurker Well what defines a persons personality? what are the parts that absolutely cant change?


  • @ScarlettOH entirely or partially ?


  • @Saloniii what if they change for the better?

    This was refreshing and I like your view. When an actor does change roles though, do you think that is similar to us changing personalities? As in, do you think it is as easy for us to change our personalities as easy as it is for them to create one and live as one for a show or movie?


  • @Captain Do you think a serial that has committed countless of murders and hate crimes could change?


  • @TheGoldenMole said in Can People Change?:

    @Lurker Well what defines a persons personality? what are the parts that absolutely cant change?

    A sore loser for example, no matter how many times he loses he'll remain a sore loser, he won't learn to be graceful in his defeat, cuz it's something instinct-ish. All he can do is learn to control it to let's say, not blame it on others for his loss when that wasn't the case, if we are talking about team based game.


  • @Wolfie_11 Now, y'see, this is the polar opposite of my thinking. I'm all about continuity. Change, ambition -to my mind, these things can be achieved by anyone, with very little effort. In my experience, the most valuable wisdom you accrue over time doesn't really change you in any discernible way, it's just there as a background vibe, as if the world, other people, everything that happens to you, everything you want, that's Bill Grundy trying to interview you. But your mind, that's the Sex Pistols, and the whole thing is so painfully mundane you can't even be bothered to be cheeky any more.

    I think I am going to have to disagree with this one. I understand your point, but perhaps you used a wrong example or maybe this entire perspective is wrong. because I, as an ex sore loser, used to hate losing. Especially because I'm fairly talented in a lot of things, losing just isn't something I'm used to. However, I am able to view games as just games, whether I win or lose, I don't care anymore. I just like having fun and I don't care about the end point, just the experience. I am living proof of what you don't think people can change. So with that, do you now think people can change? Or do you still believe your view to be true and this just happened to be a coincidence ?😂


  • @Indrid-Cold Do you think you've changed in your life?


  • @TheGoldenMole The last time my personality noticeably changed was about 15 years ago, owing to a mucky love affair, and even then not by much. My social status and earning power longer still. Why do you ask, m8?
