Do you believe people can change who they are? I don''t mean learning new things, or changing how they feel about certain topics. I mean changing fundamentally who they are as a person. Do you think a selfish person can become generous and giving? Do you think a bad self-centered friend can become a good friend who truly cares about others? Do you think an untrustworthy person can change into someone you can really trust?
Does it matter the age of the person? For example, if someone was self-centered and toxic when they were in high school, do you think they could change during college? Do you think certain life events can change a person''s basic characteristics and personality traits - for example, getting married or having a baby?
And if you believe people can change - do you think they can change entirely or will some part of their former "bad" traits remain inside somewhere?
I am asking for a specific reason but I would rather hear peoples'' general opinions on the topic rather than hear advice on my specific friend/situation.
