Do you try to change others?

I have to admit that I'm guilty of doing this in the past. People need to be ready for change ,and there is nothing that we can do to change people. Is okay to offer advice if they ask for it ,but never impose yourself because at the end you will be the bad guy even if your intentions are good.

Nope, I don't try to change anyone because you cannot change anyone, you can only change yourself then only you will feel the world seems to be changed. It is not possible to try to change someone as they wouldn't change. They will remain the same. Why would they change for you ? You should change for your benefit.

no, i find it mostly offensive when others try to do that. i think its best for people to live and learn from their mistakes as nothing beats experience. hopefully if people feel the pain from their mistakes they come out a better person but some never overcome this.

that is so true changing ourselves first is important before expecting others to change. i love my my mother but let me tell you our story. my mom when i was young expect to change my personality and change me into some perfect person but she doesn't want to change that same thing that same character that she wanted to see change in me. like she wanna purge in me the imperfectness in my character. i wanna change but i don't kind of feeling i was being forced by others to change . i don't have any vices as i don't drink and etc but i'm not perfect. but who is perfect. i don't her but i don't want to be like a robot who just accepts and follow her belief.

Absolutely,Action speak louder than words and if you lead by example rest assured that people will follow you

Not to a common people whom i meet often but definitely to my close friends.If i ever come to know what they are planning is wrong, I will try hard to change their mind:)

this is a good discussion. I think that all people that do you have nearly change when meet you. Diferent people diferent experiences and can make that see the life diferent. Somthing that you think that is good other can see as terrible.

Without change we could not evolve,(Evolution of the spirit brings us closer to God). But I doubt changing ourselves to suit another, is the 'Road to Heaven!' Rather than 'change,' try 'Being,' someone the other person can look up to, and respect. Another suggestion; Be very choosy in picking your friends. Check out the dominant person in that friend's group, and remember that as an associate, You will be tarred with the same brush!

no, i do not try to change others. you cannot change people, they change because they have decided, maybe because you did something good that made them change themselves, but never think they change because of you mainly. it is one's decision. just be nice to people and eventually, they MIGHT change... free willingly :D

Howdy pose? It is true that a lot of people try to change others and that makes the world chaotic....to change someone then means to change one's self first. As what the good book says, "Remove the speck in your eye before removing the speck of the other person." Therefore, changes starts from within. Cheers!^^

It is not really easy to convince someone to change for a better them,for they might give us back what we were saying. Like the saying goes " you can see the dirt on other people's face,but you never try to wash your face first " Sometimes,it become the other way round,instead of making other lives change to a better one,it ended our lives for reconstruction. At least,the result is positive. Then,we can face and asks that someone to change their life and give our own life as an example. That way,it is easier to convince or,we don't need to say a word maybe.

I never want people to change. But yup if they change then its the best. If we want to change somebody, we can't that's for sure. That why i never yet asked any of my friends to change their character, or can be any thing that is doesn't suit them. If ask them to do so, then nothing gonna happen, only miss understanding will be occurred. My boyfriend, he smoke and i don't want him to stop smoking for me, because i am very much sure that he can't stop smoking. As he is addicted to smoke. So, i don't know about other people but for me i have never tried someone to change for me.

I don't like to change people, I just suggest and give advice if they do wrong things or go through wrong direction.To change friend is very difficult things, they just misunderstand us and surely problem will arise.

Sometimes I have attempted to change someone if I know it'll do them any good. I have changed my brother from being a lazy idiot with the help of my mum to get a job and start earning his own cash without having to rely on my mother. This is the age of 28, he's older than me even but we managed in the end.
