Do people change :(?!

This is just a question that I asked myself today. I think if you keep changing yourself to 'agree' with other people, you are not being your true self. I tried to please everyone for a while, and people just ended up walking away. I am myself now, and people walk in and out as they please as well. Personlly, I am sick of it, and if people want to talk to me that is fine. If they don't, that is fine too. As far as I'm concerned , I will continue to be myself, and learn what I need to learn on my own time with the help of myself and God.

No people do not change. They are what they are and one day they will show who they are thanks to life experiences.

Change to be is something that can occur over time. It might seem rather sudden but really if you look back at what has happened over time, gradually, everything tends to fall into place. When someone enters a bad place in their life, I do in fact wonder if I should have seen it all of the time. If they are a bit more bitter, far more bitter than they were, should I have seen it coming? Hindsight is an excellent thing, as seldom does one thing change a person overnight, unless it is something horrifically traumatizing. It is a bigger change, over time, each and every day, people experience these changes more and more often. I think that no one should try and adjust their habits just to fit in with other people. If someone has changed so much, then obviously it might not be a relationship that will stand on its legs for much longer.

TalalAr..People change..so that also means you change too. Perhaps it is time to move on past the old friend and find new ones who suit you better. All the best wishes for you!!

If he changed, you'll be fine. Don't push yourself to him. You'll get new friends who are more worth than him. People get through to these kinds of experiences. Don't worry.

Yes.People do change..When they become big,they change..They learn new characters from other friends..You know that we are copy cats!!

You should know, people always change. They are never the same all the time. The person you know yesterday is not the person you know today because every day, every minute of the day, every person change--it could be for the better or for worse. The only thing that will never change in life is the changes that will happen.

Maybe he had seen something in that guy that you don't have or possessed. Sometimes people changed if he/she thought it's for the better if they have seen opportunities that could help them achieve these goals. Some people used friendship as their stepping stone to the next level. But there are also friends who will stick with you through thick and thin.

there is no need for you to change. different people have different experiences and their personality is a reflection of their experiences. do not take it personally, however do the best you can do to retain the relation if you want.

In some cases I think people change and then in some other cases I think they were being fake and actin like a friend and then one day their true color shown through. Me and my best friend use to hang out all the time!! And when I say all the time I mean like everyday we rode to school together, we were in the same classes, we hung out after school and then we went to college and roomed to together, then I met a guy at work that I thought would be perfect for her so I introduced her to him and they started dating, then I started datin his best friend, and then we all hung out together... then I found out that her boyfriend was jealous that I was dating his best friend because he had a crush on me before I introduced her to him and he still had a thing for me... It was so bad that he even tried breakin us two up, as if I would date him, he was still dating my best friend!!,,but then she kinda stopped hanging out with me, and now doesnt have time for me anymore,,he has changed her and is in a way keeping me from my best friend out of jealousy of my boyfriend/his best friend...And its not like I set him up with my bff so that I could date his, because at the time I was dating someone else,,then he cheated and I broke up with him, and my now fiance was there to comfort me and be there for me, but I've moved passed that and I still talk to her and try to hang out with her,,I wish it was different.....and Then you have those people that you thought was your friend and then turns out they were just using you to get what they need and then they throw you out to the curb!!! :( but you should just be who you are and shouldnt have to change for others to like you,, if they are your true friends they will like you just the way you are!!

Most often we assume that people around us have changed, but we dont consider the possibility that our perspective couldve changed/ not changed too! I get it when you say you feel your friend has changed but maybe you could still get back to your level of comfort if you could bend your perspective a little for him. You dont have to 'change' yourself in terms of overhaul and I dont think you should do that for anyone...just a little adjustment for people you care about, would do :)

To me people change but they don't.It's really contradictory,I know but what I mean is that while they can change their tastes,their attitude or even some character traits ,we are what we are.You can't fake it.Maybe your friend is going through something or has decided that he wants to be somebody else but I would say that if you really care for this person you should make an effort to see if you can still be friends.Who knows,you might discover that underneath he is still the same or you might find out that it's time for you to go your separate ways.In any case you should give it a chance.Also,I believe you shouldn't change yourself to please others or because everybody else is changing. If you want to change,do it for yourself.Just my 2 cents.
