Yes almost many people do not change the way the are. But there are some people who have changed due to time and situations.

I dont believe you can change the inner core of a person, if that person is naturally selfish for example i think they always will be deep down and nothing even they can do will change that. i think we are who we are at the end of the day and we can make alterations to our personalities but not change them completly.

...and it's really up to the person if she/he will adapt such changes....

everything in the world is always changing. why our personality is an exception? i think we can develop, even change our personality. the introvert ones can be more extrovert. the stupid ones can be smarter. it depends on our will.

Your base personality will stay the same. But you CAN change some behaviours.

Yes, it is possible that it can change. Especially, if you went through something in life that was so traumatic and tragic. It is possible for your personality to change then. But with me, I try not to let my situations make or break me. But, honestly, I am almost the same as I was when I was younger, I just grew up and matured more.

personally, i do not think the personality can be changed. but i think we can control it sometimes. even though, it need much persistance and willing power to change it if you find it is not good. for example, if you are hot-tempered, you can try your best not to lose temper in a special situation, right? but that does not mean your personality is changed, just controlled.

Life itself is a change...and we keep learning..so why is it not possible to change our personality. Personality can indeed change because human nature keeps changing with time and situation.
