Can a person changed his personality for his love one?  |
|
Is it really possible to change the person we love? Can an in-love person change for his love one?
This is what I have learned:
1. If you demand a person to do something that he is not, he might follow you but RELUCTANTLY and when you are not around he will again do what he chooses.
2. I learned that change comes from the person himself. For a person to change his bad habits, he must admit it first and decide for himself.
3. Never expect that you can change a person because a person changed only by his own will.

1. Binthu (2906) | 2 months ago | Hi Lovelyn,
YES you are absolutely right, we can not change the habits of a person even for the love, unless if he himself want to change by himself. So changing the habits will always depends upon the mentality of the particular person and thus he should decide by himself to change the habits, otherwise it is too wasted everything for this attempt. As I have knew many peoples, they used said that they need to change their habits because of their true love, but practically it is NOT possible for them, but at the same time if they need to change their habits by them self, then it is absolutely very easy to change anything . So we need their understanding mentality in order to change their habits or personality.
Have a nice day.

NurseMathilda (175) | 2 months ago | You're absolutely right on this one. I've seen a lot of my friends doing things that their asked girlfriends or spouses to change but once their not with them, they keep on doing it. Change should really come from the person. All we can do is to help and inspire them what good can bring them if he/she change a habit.

lovelyn_medrano (650) | 1 month ago | Hi Binthu! Thank you for responding! Just to add up, if the other person is really not willing to change and the partner is persistent in pushing for change, that can lead only to misunderstanding and worst separate lives... Change is entirely up to the person himself. It must really start from him. Admittance and willingness must be present.

lovelyn_medrano (650) | 1 month ago | And yes Nursemathilda! Our role in changing our partner bad habits is just limited. We can only inspire and motivate. We cannot do everything for our love ones...

| 2. swatitomar823 (37) | 2 months ago | Hi lovelyn! In my opinion if a person is truly in love, then definitely he/she can change his/her habits.and if those habits are bad than what can be the better reason than changing them for the one u love. Its not even close to impossible,if one has the will power to do so. I myself have changed many habits of mine for my love. I used to spend money a lot on unwanted things but now i focus more on savings. and i m also trying to change my habit of having "bed tea" for him.

lovelyn_medrano (650) | 2 months ago | It is nice to hear that you changed for better. It is good that you follow your love one's advice for what she/he says to you is for your own sake. I know some people who take their love one's advice as a way of controlling them or making them under. I think you are mature enough to understand. Truly strong personal determination helps.
Keep it up swatitomar823!! You deserve a star!!!

3. charlies2805 (589) | 2 months ago | Well, I believe that everybody does change. Maybe we can't see the change, but still they do change. There are some reasons why people do change. And basically they change in purpose, for example they don't feel comfortable with the current condition so they change, radically or the other way around. And in this topic, I think that someone for sure can change his personality for his love one. I know that changing personality is not an easy thing to do, and it's pretty hard, takes time to do so. But again, as he has a purpose (in this case is his love one), I believe that he's able to change.=)

NurseMathilda (175) | 2 months ago | I think some does change for their love ones too. But in general and in most cases, change does not happen. I agree that if love and respect is really there and we understand we they are asking for a change, then I think it will come naturally from that person. Instead of being sneaky, be true and say why you can't instantly change. I think that as long as it is for our own good, why not change? I don't see any hard or wrong by doing so.

4. NurseMathilda (175) | 2 months ago | I believe that we cannot impose a change. However, we can help him be a better if we are seeing bad habits from them. In my case, I have a suitor before that I don't like because he's a smoker. I have asked to quit smoking not because I don't like smoking but it's because smoking is really bad for our health. I said that if he cannot focus on doing it, which I am not asking to change overnight, I asked him to at least show respect to others who does not smoke. We all know that 2nd change smoker are mostly effected and not those who actually smoke.
Yes, it is true that change should come from that person. We cannot really asked someone to change if it is not coming from within himself. Change should come naturally from that someone and not because we are persisting that someone to change. What we can do is to inspire and cite the things why we want a particular habit or character change.

lovelyn_medrano (650) | 2 months ago | He must be at least sensitive to others. I also hate those smokers who smoke like hell and don't show care to others.
Anyway back to the topic, I agree with you that our power of influencing our love ones to change is limited. All we can do is to remind them and motivate them to do some changes in their lives. Final action lies on them.

5. EARLZHAN (342) | 2 months ago | Hi lovelyn..
I think you have a point. A person can't really his attitude just because of the
one he love. But, it is also possible if the person is really willing to change
but if he's not he/she might just be a man pleaser. He/she will be a good one if
you there but if your not he/she will be doing the bad habbits that he/she had.
However, I think there is one thing that can really change a person it is God.

|
|
lovelyn_medrano (650) | 2 months ago | Yes I believe so. Nothing is impossible to God. I heard a lot of stories about people praying for their love ones to change. Thou it seems very impossible but God can really change the person even overnight. You just have to have strong faith in him. God bless you EARLZHAN!
Thanks for sharing your views.

6. joygracia (216) | 2 months ago | I for one made the choice to change for him. I`m kinda conservative at times and he likes to have romance and all that and since I just love him so, I kinda think that it wouldn`t be that bad if I show him my love through romance and stuff and it what keeps us together.

lovelyn_medrano (650) | 2 months ago | Change comes from a person himself. It is your own choose and decision. If you take it the other way, you will end up hurting each other only. Only to realized that you are suffocated and stressed out with the relationship.

7. sweetbabyjane (1146) | 2 months ago | You can't change a person into the person you want them to be. They have to make the changes for themself, not you.

lovelyn_medrano (650) | 2 months ago | We must remember that if we want something to be changed, we must make sure that we want it for good cause and not just to feed our fantasies of having a perfect love one. I am sure that if we do tell our love ones in a not dictating way, she/he will understand our point and will eventually realize that he needs to change himself not just for us but more for himself.

8. cutepink_13 (454) | 2 months ago | i dont like the idea of changing one's personality for the sake of a loved one. one must change for himself so that others can benefit from the change too.

9. sid556 (10518) | 2 months ago | you are very right. You should accept a person at face value and know that change will come because no one ever ever stays the same. Our experiences change us. When I was married for example, my husband knew that if he continued with his drugs and drinking that I would be leaving. I thought he quit for the longest time. What really happened was that he got sneakier about it all. It of course came out eventually. I would never attempt to change anyone again. I just move on. If someone is going to change it is not going to be because I want them to. If they do...it's temporary. If they change for you then sooner or later they will revert back because of you. Any changes in a person have to come naturally and because of their own desire to change for themselves and no other reason.

lovelyn_medrano (650) | 2 months ago | I know in time your husband will soon realize the bad effects of drugs and alcohol in himself and your family. I am very sorry to hear that you are in facing this kind of situation.

sid556 (10518) | 2 months ago | It's all ok. That was a long time ago. We got divorced and he still drinks heavily.

lovelyn_medrano (650) | 2 months ago | Oh I guess he never learned his lesson. I hope he stops his vice before it hits his health badly.

| 10. jinggat (11) | 2 months ago | hello lovelyn! on my own view, a person can change his/her personality for a love one. it can be change gradually but not abruptly because that's what he/she used to do before. he/she can change an risk everything specially if she/he truely inloved just to be wtih the loved one. nothing is constant here on earth but changed..

|
lovelyn_medrano (650) | 2 months ago | Change indeed needs time and lots of hard work. Willingness, sacrifice and determination are needed.
