Can People Change?

[TheGoldenMole]

@Indrid-Cold Dunno, I find human change interesting. Some people change drastically and some people don't change at all, I just want to know why and how this happens. What does it say about the people who change easily? What does it say about the people who don't?

@TheGoldenMole

Damn, teach me how did you do that? I've been a sore loser for so long and all I managed is to not take it on my team-mates

[TheGoldenMole]

@Lurker when I win or when I loose there is no difference. The only difference is you get to say "I won" or "I lost" the same game is being played and the fun is still the same. Its just one word that changes things, literally just a word. Being upset by a loss is only because you have too much pride, which is something you have to push aside to see the bigger picture, to see what really matters. Saying " I won" or "I lost" doesn't matter, saying "I played" does. That's how I got over it anyway, hope this helps, no one likes a sore loser

[Indrid Cold]

@TheGoldenMole I guess that is interesting. The obvious answer would be that people who change too capriciously are being played like fiddles by peer-pressure, or the almighty £, or some kinda weird psychology. Maybe, now that we're all living such sedate lives, evolution is getting royally frunked up viz-a-viz our intellectual development and social status, and housewives think they can be business people, and no teenager will consider getting a job unless someone makes it feel like long-term, specialist training by calling it 'an apprenticeship', and Twitter exists, and MPs devise ever more elaborate, posterity-chasing public expenditure projects, even though we're still running a vast deficit and our bedrock economy is based on nothing.

If you have a lot of free time to read about and talk to a person who you want to be like.. without having to worry about money.. then yes, its easy just like the actors do. And mind you, creating a personality is not that easy for even an actor. They try to adjust to that role by living in the conditions that the character is supposed to live. They adopt their mentality, even though for a short while, and their speech patterns and try to think like the character. You see.. Mind is a very powerful thing. It goes the way you want it to go unless it goes berserk and goes in its own way. So actors have to control their minds to get deeply into a role. However, some people are just like that in real life aka Robert Downey Jr. starring as Tony Stark and some people just give into the demand and lose their mind aka (arguably) Lt. Heath Ledger starring as The Joker.

P.S.- Acting is an under-rated art. You can’t just get into an intense role just like that. You have to prepare yourself mentally, physically and verbally(to say dialogues). Changing your personality in real life is much simpler as you do not have a set pattern of attributes to follow.

@Indrid-Cold
I think its quite natural to oppose the changes as most of us like to be in the comfort zone. And though I partially agree with the fact that most of the wisdom acquired doesn’t change you, however, the fact that we acquire more knowledge and wisdom with time is the change. And you always have the option of forcing the change if the surroundings become too mundane.I think that our advanced intellectual capability should be used to produce a change and spice up the life a bit than doing the same regular things or else what difference will their be between man and machines?

People can't really change, they can only control themselves... action/emotions. Whatever. Or you can learn it from others.

[TheGoldenMole]

@Wolfie_11 as someone who grew up in theater and was in multiple plays throughout my teen years, acting and portraying yourself to be someone else isn’t that hard. At least not after a while, but perhaps it has more to do with the individual. Maybe for some people it’s just easy. Maybe that’s why some people are easily moved and changed and other aren’t.

[TheGoldenMole]

@Night-Shadow how would you learn from others?

[Wolfie_11]

@TheGoldenMole
True that. Taking instance of movie actors, not all of them experiment with different roles/characters and are successful in it. Neither are all actors suitable to get into a particular character. That is precisely why casting is done. So as you rightly mentioned, it depends upon person-to-person....Some can adapt, improvise and change easily while others can’t.

[Night Shadow]

@TheGoldenMole Every day you learn something from someone, different people with different behavior... first of kids learn from their parents, and surroundings , sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. You choose... be good or bad.
Emotions and actions we can learn at easy for that we have actors/ entertainers...and for that some people are two faces idiots

[INFINITY]

@TheGoldenMole Of course they can. But then again, there must be a reason.

[TheGoldenMole]

@INFINITY does it have to be a big reason or just any reason works?

[INFINITY]

@TheGoldenMole It depends on the impact it made on the person.

[vishkun]

@TheGoldenMole yes! People change ....

Change is the only truth of this universe.. rest can be fake

@TheGoldenMole It is all about emotions, people do change some in a positive way some in a negative way. Some people change to do some positive and good changes in them and some changes in a negative way which mostly happens in relations .This is life we have to change we are not tress that we would be stuck at one place. Eveything in this planet is in a continuous change. We learn daily and change daily.
