What's huh? I think that people never change in their fundamental make-up. People can learn to amplify good qualities and subdue bad ones...but I don't think that means they've changed. |

i think it's possible, but rare. if you're referring to the hoi polloi, then yea you're right. people generally don't change because it involves too much looking in the mirror at yourself. |

It doesn't!? Then what would you say if a really passive aggressive person (for example) learned to deal with her frustrations and became a more understanding (and direct) person?
If you think maturity is all about stressing the right parts of our behaviour (that's what I get from what you're saying now), and this doesn't count as changing, fine; but, what does, then? If you think people don't change, then surely you can think of a(n impossible) way people can change, right?

Yep, ever since you two started rubbin' each other's clits all day this place hasn't been as much fun. Hell, even Big McJew is playing nice. |

That's just a change of behaviour though... has the real person actually changed?
Note; I actually do think people can change, I'm just arguing for the sake of same... and because lunch was great |

But those are learned behaviours to begin with. I'm talking about the elements of our personalities that are innate - and I do believe there is a side to all of us that is unlearned.
I would definitely agree that one can "change" in the sense that they can unlearn undesirable behaviours (which is exactly what I said in the first place). But again, I don't think that changes their elementary personality.

No, I don't think people change, lol. They modify their behaviours, but they don't inherently change. |
