Can people change?

Can someone you have known for a decade within the space of less than a year change who they are in fundamental ways for the better?

Yes. Absolutely they can.

Sometimes people change because of circumstances that surround them, not necessarily by their own will power.
 
I have not seen it.

I believe that with TIME and related experience they can, but in the short term a person may try but they fall back into the old ways eventually.
 
Yes .. people can't change for someone else.. but the people around them can affect them in a way that causes change
 
yes. Its called having a "life changing experience"
Not only am I a client of this club, I'm also the president!
 
according to some people I know they can't as apparantly I am an ass and will always be an ass!!!!! ;) ;)

I just think i am mis-understood ;) ;)

Having issues with the prego?

What week is she in?

I'm going to get a week 10 ultrasound tomorrow...

Peace.
 
No. Core personality stays...
You haven't seen this person in a while. It's the newness mask.
It'll wear off...
 
I`ve changed in my behavior and actions. I`m still the same person I`ve always been, but smarter and more sympathetic for other people`s feelings.

I would hope the more you grow as a person, the more you`re able to appreciate life and it`s surroundings. It`s sad to think a young man of 18 would have the same exact life philosophies as when he`s 40, 50, 60.

Growing IS changing. I try to grow every day.

Protein helps. lol jk
 
yea, I still slip back into my old ways but it very rare and usually only when I'm not thinking straight like when Pissed beyond recodnition.. Rarely happens..
 
No, it's not a newness mask. Her behavior is significantly altered. Like someone who finally recognizes that it isnt just about them, or is no longer in their own shell emotionally.

It's little things, like never once in ten years going to a movie cause she couldnt sit still that long, to offering to go cause she guessed I wanted to. To bigger things which I'd rather not elaborate on. And she was never the type to change in the slightest to please anyone else.

I guess I'm just concerned as to how permanent the changes will prove. And I dont want to hurt her or myself by communicating there is a chance when Im so uncertain.

Give it a chance. She`s obviously putting forth the effort
 
yes, people can change, but meaningful change takes (1) a really powerful experience or (2) a few years.

I had (2), and I have changed.
 
Jerseyart, I say go for it! We could use a guy like you in SWV in a few months.
 
Thing is, there is no definitive answer to this question. There is no way to know but to spend more time with her and find out. She may have changed, she may not have. I think the real question is do you feel that it's worth the risk to find out.

Yeah, she is, thats what makes it so hard.

Or maybe its how she looked in those leather pants :worried:
 
Yes, woman can change. But, the questions are......Is this a genuine change to improve themselves? or Is this a temporary change to obtain something? (the something is you jackass)

I have had a few girls promise me they have changed. So, how could I not give them a chance? Both of them return to their original self as soon as they though they owned me. Fortunatly, it was before I married them and had kids with them.
 
could be temporary until thy've gotten what they want and realise they don't have to keep on playing a part

Could also be truly from the heart as a result of some major circumstance in their life.

one can never know for sure. only time will tell.

Stop kidding yourself and change the Temporary to Permanent in your sig ;) ;)

Hahaha, good one.

Actually I'm going to wait to change it next time I get laid.





Ok you are right, it may as well be permanent.
 
she is using her eastern european wyles on you... feh feh feh! cast out those demons!

seriously, bernice, did you return from vegas already? how did that go? or is that the crux of the biscuit?
 
I believe the absolute deep down fundamentals don't change. We are all destined to fit a certain mold. Most, if not all, "changes" one goes through are surfaces changes, some deeper then others. If you spend enough time with that person I think eventually you'll start to see their "original" character show through.

Bhaa, Jersey, you're too damn smart for this...
I think you'd be better off putting your dinner table over a fucking trap-door.
 
Yes, like many in this thread have said already, people can change, but it takes a big event in their lives or a concerted effort over a good period of time, once they've realized they need to change. The second form of change is usually in connection to a particular type of behavior. I'd say for someone to change their personality the change would most likely come about because of a major event in their life.

As to your situation, if she seems to have changed then give her a chance. If it's not genuine it will show through in time, and if that happens then you know it was either a failed (at least temporarily) attempt to change on her part or an act to draw you to her. Don't miss out on something you think could be good because you are worried it might not be. Just my two cents, man. I hope things go well for you.
 
99% never change
 
Possible......but people will always do whats in their nature when given a long enough time line
 
"If I can change and you can change, then Everyyboodyyyy cannn chaaaange!!" Rocky speaking to the Russian crowd in Rocky V.
 
of course. lots of people have repressed issues or dont grow in a certain way for aaaaages until something changes in their lives, and they finally mature and become the person they were always set up to be...sometimes better, sometimes worse

anyway i think you should take the slowly slowly approach if youre going to take her back...
