Do you belive you are able to change your character?

OK, so character would be person deep inside you and how he reacts to things initially, or thinks about or feels about things before the influence of anything else.. maybe? (I could be wrong about that because we all share a sense of fear and anxiety at given situations such as crossing a busy street)



Charcter / Personality - bottom line - when living through life, do you believe it is best to go by how you %26quot;believe you are%26quot; or how you actually want to be?
Do you belive you are able to change your character?
Is what you want to be in your opinion who you truly want to be if you catch my drift?



Do you want to be this because you feel it helps you fit in with society more? if so I say NO.



I strongly support all individuals to be themselves no matter what kind of opposition exists. Express yourself, your you not somebody else and your desires and dreams can never be taken away so please do go ahead and fufill your desires if they are in your best interests.



It's your life not somebody elses so go where your mind leads you, Let it be happiness I hope.
Do you belive you are able to change your character?
I believe you should always try to go by how you feel. Do things that you can live with later on.
I'll just ignore some of the wrong things that you said and try to answer your question.



Someone's personality is enduring but it isn't impossible to change. Your personality is the combination of predisposed genetic factors and environmental/learned factors. Since nothing is actually predetermined (not even through genetics) there are many ways to change your personality, although it can be difficult. One way is through operant conditioning, which is positive and negative reinforcement. You could also do it by changing your environment, changing your relationships, changing your cognitive perceptions, through various theories, such as psychotherapy or client-centered therapy.



So to answer your question, it is possible to change your personality but it does take a lot of work.
Life's a journey and as it unfolds we find our true character. I am sorry if that sounds like a cliche but I beleive that if you try to do the right things eventually you'll be that better person.
