Do you think people change over time?

i didn't used to think so. i figured that by a certain age,i was pretty much the person that i was supposed to be.

then an event occured that literally changed who i was,to the core. it made me redefine who i was & what i valued,what i was willing to accept in my life.

i also think that,sparing a major life changing event,people can grow & discover things about themselves every day. from there,comes change.

hope that helps.

Do People Change Over Time

As long as you're growing, you're changing. It's when you stop growing, and you become stagnant and set in your ways that you have a real problem. I think a lot of people maintain a certain foundation of who they are, and they just build on that. Some go through extreme changes that effect that person so wholly that they shift their foundation and change their personality drastically. Others just keep becoming the person they are in a less noticable way, and seem to change very little, except to get older... but, in fact, they are changing, over time, and becoming a whole person... which it takes a lifetime to do!

I think everyone changes over time, but it depends on who the person is and what happens in their life. Some people change so drastically you hardly recognize them as the same, whereas other people change very little. But I would say that everyone definitely changes at least to some extent. Personally, I am a person that has changed very drastically.

RE:

Some say that people remain "essentially" the same. Others say that they change over time (it could be gradual - or - a major event that shakes up a person's life and changes them drastically...) What do you think?

If you can, elaborate. Thanks =)

I think it ultimately depends on the person, but also don't think a person can change completely just because of an event. If someone does change, I think it happens more gradually than anything.

People have "essentially" the same qualities as they get older, but their personality may change depending on environment, age, or relationships.

i think people just get more aware of how they truly feel as an individual and that makes people 'change'. Bringing more information to the table to someone and they choose to take it a different way than lets say, then what you've expected, they have suddenly changed somehow in your view but that doesnt mean they have actually changed themselves. Could mean they have a different way of understanding something based on how it was explained or an number

of occurances that brought attention to their deep thoughts out of their norm. hahah my thoughts are a lil messi on this one. good question..

My Daddy always told me that you have to stay 'within your station' We didn't have a hellofalot of money, and I was happy within my station.

Now, I have very much more than I ever grew up with (income equivalent to 8 times Daddy's income), and I have a lot of dis-trust.

I still do all the maintenance work around my houses that I can do. Dollar Stores are still my first stop.

Yeah, I'd say that essentially I am the person that I was raised as.

Maybe it depends on age., If I'd 'married up' into millionaire status, maybe I'd be different, but I 'married within my station', and had to learn how to live much the same as my parents did in the early years.

Now, I have much more income than I can spend, and give it away to whomever I feel worthy. Kids, charities, foundations... I can't spend it all.

I definitely think you change. I'd say from the age of 20 to 30, I am a totally different person than I was at 20.

I think this was a big problem in the ending my marriage because I outgrew him. At 19, I was a child who looked up at him and followed his lead. By 25, I was a woman who knew what I wanted and I learned to trust myself and my instincts more than just trusting him, and he lost that power over me, and it drove him insane and he hated me for it.

It's a great campaign slogan, and those folks who have serious life experience KNOW it is just that... a slogan. I wish CHANGE was as easy as Obama claims it is. Guess the youth of our great country will have to learn the hard way, that it is just NOT as easy as Obama is leading them to believe. I remember when I was a young idealist and life has EDUCATED me to how the political system in this country works and has worked for centuries.
