Do you believe that people can change?
Do you believe that people can change? I personally do because I changed from a silent person into somebody who was loud and talkative person. Maybe not the most outgoing, but it was a dramatic change. Probably because I just acted like myself and didn't try to fit in and whatnot. My self esteem increased over the years and I started to believe in myself in many aspects. Earning a 1st place in science olympiad state competition in 8th grade certainly made me believe that I did not just get those A's by accident or because of the sheer easiness of the courses. My social confidence soared over the years to where I can comfortably talk to anybody and greet random strangers. So do you? It can be something like oh this kid isn't so annoying anymore or he is more reserved now, so basically any sort of change.
Goals right now though: NO MORE PROCRASTINATION, please give me the powers, time management god
Edit: You can choose to post the changes you have been through or have witnessed too. Another small change is I have neat handwriting now as opposed to the Arabic I was writing before.

Yes, I believe that people can change.
I changed a lot (and for better), compared to the naive me from my elementary school years~early high school years.
People change.
As for purposely changing a specific aspect of a person, its a long nature vs nurture argument. Or even just a fight of will.

[quote=niceguys]If you decide you want to fly, will you grow wings? I don't think so. You don't change yourself. You change how you do things. You have to make your own way. You have to create a way to fly, even while you stay the same

True and being myself is essentially like that. It was there the whole time, but I just did not realize it.

Everyone is capable of change, if they're willing to. But as someone said above, there are genetic boundaries. Sometimes it's just not possible.
anyone can be hotter as long as they work
@alvinhero123: no problem friend.
Anyone can choose to change

Did not realize that wow. Thanks for the input.
its what happens when you go through puberty
Everyone goes through a change whether they realize it or not, and also whether they want to or not. It may be from something as little and unnoticeable to something as big, like for example, how you choose to act around people now compared to how you used to act around them. It's all just a part of life and growing up.
Change is possible even with genetic dispositions and even the most significant environmental conditioning, however there are still limits, which are also genetic.
Humans are dynamic creatures within certain boundaries.
Yeah.. it'd be more surprising if someone didn't change
