galvar2439 0 #1 December 21, 2007 I have been thinking ( Iknow its dangerous) about people and if they can really change if they were jerks, assholes, or just plain mean. What if someone is unfaithful? I mean i know i have changed over the years, when i was a younger man i was a real piece of work, alot of success early was the worst thing that could have happened to me as far as who i was. I am very different in the way i approach situations and much more patient! Never thought i would be a skydiver ( that skydiver part is still under construction). But sometimes my thoughts are just the same as they were back then. Am i still an asshole? Sometimes i wonder.So i just broke up with this woman who wasn't even my girlfriend!

Bolas 5 #2 December 21, 2007 People can change but they have to want to. If they do, it may be hard, but it can be done. The fact you realize you were slipping is a good sign. If they don't want to change, you can't make them. Period. You may be able to convince them to want to change though. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cocheese 0 #5 December 21, 2007 Once an asshole, always an asshole. Most people don't change much over the years. And if they did, fuck em, they were assholes in the past. Life is to short not to spend time with those who were never assholes to begin with. Hey asshole.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mamajumps 0 #8 December 21, 2007 yes people can change. When I got married, I was very trusting, very marriage, wife minded, mother minded. The only thing that is still the same there is my kids are still the center of my world and the most important people in my life. As for everything else, I trust NO ONE, until they prove in length they can be trusted. I have MAJOR committment issues and am in it only for me. (used to be I took everyone else into consideration first, and put myself last in everything). I really doubt if I will ever overcome my trust or committment issues.... and I can attribute it 100% to my soon to be ex husband... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharimcm 0 #9 December 21, 2007 People do change. I used to be sweet and innocent, got married, then divorced. Now I'm a cynical, bitter, and cold-hearted bitch... But, it's all good. I have my circle of friends that will still put up with me. side note - I do collections at work, so I kind of hard to have a cold heart.

grannyinthesky 0 #10 December 21, 2007 Yes, people can change, but change doesn't happen overnight. You know, that 2 steps forward, one step backwards.

Beerlight 0 #15 December 21, 2007 Sure they can change. I've found that as I grow older, all the BS crap I used to do as taken a backseat to being a better person. As for trusting someone. I trust first, then if someone screws me, then I put them into "that" category...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BelskyBlueEyes 0 #17 December 21, 2007 Pretty much I feel what is in your heart will never change. People with cold hearts will probably always hang on to that in one way or another. I suppose some people may change when something very drastic happens, like they almost die, or lose someone very close to them. All I know is life is too short, learn to be the best person you can be all the time. Be gracious, life is precious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
