I am not referring to physical looks. Although this is applicable too. I am referring to our personality. Some people says "this is me, accept me for who I am" There is nothing wrong being yourself, that is better than pretending. But,whether we accept it or not there are certain behavior that we must change in us. Not for the sake of other people- but for the sake of our own reputation We cannot change ourselves overnight but slowly we can adjust what is right. Have a great day dear mylotters jaiho®- listening to melodrama http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RDijR1ntM0&feature=fvst 6-27-2012 2:55pm Wednesday PT

You don't need to change for the sake of others- that's totally useless. Changing oneself must be done for ourselves and not for the sake of other people. Your boobs are too much, don't ask for more miss yah

I totally agree Jaiho. Though people should accept us for what we are, we should analyze some not nice traits of ours that tend to shoo people away from us. Are we hypercritical of people, then probably you can learn how not to be. It's good to hear some positive criticisms, if you take criticisms as positive.

hello D, Though people should accept us for what we are, we should analyze some not nice traits of ours that tend to shoo people away from us. Exactly Instead of insisting the quote "this is me" Okay fine..then stay "who you are" but never ask why people seems to distant from you. I have wrote one article about "constructive criticism" but not everyone understand about it, they always take criticism in it's negative aspect- too bad. If only they will think deeper rather than having self-pity, they will realize how criticism can do good with their lives. have a great day dear

That's true Jaiho. Not everyone understands what constructive criticism is. For them. all criticisms can really make them down. But should they have analyzed it well, it could make themselves better person . Me, i am a person that takes criticism positively. If i know that it could be for my betterment, then why not go with it?

I will admit that I know that I need some work on my personality, but I would be one of many who are this way. I think that many of us, most of us, need to work on our personalities because often times we weren't taught how to behave, or we live off of our emotions. I am trying to better myself, but I will admit that it is not easy.

hello rogue, Sorry for my late reply. That's what I wrote...everyone need to change, not for anyone else but for ourselves. We need and must change from bad to good, for a better us. It won't be easy and will take time, but worth the try. thanks and have a great day

hello aira, There is nothing wrong with changes. I admire people who are open with changes to improve theirselves and for the sake of their love ones. Not everyone has the courage to do that- not to mention the pride. I really salute you for that... wish you all the happiness

For my physical looks, I'm contented with what I have, no change has been made. However, I need to change my outlook, I don't have self-confidence. I just wish I can have it but I guess that would not happen.

hello pahak, You should start believing in yourself- that way you can build your self confidence. I know it is not easy, but, you can do it. Like the saying goes " if they can, why can't I" thanks and have a great day

Hi jaiho, I believe most of people need some changes when they their age add up and status change. When I am single I have very low self-esteem and lack of confidence on talking other people. But when I got married I decided to change those attitudes not for the sake of my husband but for my own sake. My husband is very friendly and has a very good communication skill to his friends, employee and employer so asked his help on how to interact other people with full of confidence and lots of self-esteem. Now that I change those attitudes I am more confident to myself.

hello Bhebelen, Those are good changes in you and congrats. Yes, people changed as lot as we grow old. Some people become irritable when they gets older, while others becomes mellow. Some become mature as they grows old, while others starts acting immature. It's always good to change for better, from bad to good. But some people don't care about it and never even try to change to improve their selves. thanks and have a great day

I always believe that as time passes by we all change.. and like you i also believe no one changed over night. I for one also believe that i too did change over time but not drastically, it happened gradually after all the trials i have been through, after all the problems.. i did change and is becoming a stronger and better person. And somehow along the way i know who i am and no other person can dictate me as to who i am, not eve my own husband he would often say how stubborn i am, how much i love to speak my mind and i know somehow he loves me for it because i am just me.

Slowly we can change for a better us. It sometimes irritating to listen when people starts saying "this is me" sure, that is you- but can't you changed? Then they start blaming others and ask why this and that happened, without even asking themselves why it has to happen. We learn more from failures and failures teaches us the best lesson in life. have a great day dear

We all have different adverse personalities that need to be changed my dear bonita. But what I know, though we really know how bad it is, since it is already our habit or an attitude there's no way we could perfectly change it. Just like the stripe of the tiger..as what they said..that could not be scrape-off because its stripe pierce underneath their skin. That is what also our attitude but, what I know for sure is that we can minimize or lower it down (though) not constantly but at least we give a try for the good of ourselves. Nice topic bonita..

Hi di I have been told n number of times and by n number of people that I should not change (they believe I am honest, blunt to keep me honest). Personally, I do want to get rid of some things that I dont feel comfortable with but then these things wont leave me as they are not curable

sids, I won't change my principles as well. But I have a few that I must give up. Changes doesn't always mean changing the whole of us. If people around you doesn't want you to change, it is maybe because they are comfortable being with you and the moment you changed- you will never be the same person they use to know. I don't believe there is such incurable if you are determine enough to trash it out of your personality.

No one is perfect and we have a good side and bad side...we can reduce bad side only, can't make it disappear all. I am pleasant with myself...even though i am not perfect ...however i am open mind and can get any advices/comments from the others...and try my best to prove myself better day by day...

While it is true that other people should also accept us for what we are, we still need to change for the better. This is what we called personal development. We should assess ourselves from time to time. This way we would be able to know the things we need to change within ourselves. Soliciting feedback from friends will also help us know our strength and weaknesses.

hello Aries, You're right,personal development. If people only knows how to accept constructive criticism they will never feel bad each time they hear their friends telling/asking them to change for the better. thanks and have a good day

Oh you are sooo right! I absolutely HATE it when I hear people say "this is me accept me the way I am". How arrogant! Usually people who develop this kind of attitude already know that they need to change but either refuse, can't, don't want to make the effort or just like being miserable, so they adopt this as their defence. While it is true that we should accept people as they are, it is also true that we can and do make positive changes within ourselves. We are not doing it to please others but to develop and improve our own being and life. Change is a part of life. Change is constant. Nothing ever stays the same, including people. There are so many ways and changes that one can make to improve themselves. People who refuse to change and demand to be accepted as they are, are living in darkness. When will they realize that with that type of attitude they are only hurting themselves?

yes i completely agree with you that evryone need to change themselfs for their own and on same side i thing this change is only required if everybody is mantaining a distance from you because if you start changing yourself for evryone around you their will be a day when you be start getting frustrated and you will feel empty from inside...i am sharing this beacuse i have experineced it... i had changed myself completely and you know what i was never happy then, all others were beacuse i was the way they wanted me to be not the way i wanted to be....this can make you happy for a while but sooner or later you will deinately start missing yourself....this was till the time i found the one who actually made me meet myself and accepted me and changed me too...i would say i havent change till then but all that is changes were felt by me not by anyone else....:)

hello aartisaini, I won't change myself only to impress others. I will change myself because I feel I need to change for betterment. Some people are asking why their friends slowly drifting away, then they are blaming other people instead of looking at themselves for what is wrong. There is no need to change ourselves completely as well- as it won't be us anymore. Only change the bad ways to be a better person which is a must. Character matter most to keep our loved ones believe in us. thanks and have a great day

Hi jaiho: I completely noticed. Some people don't realized that the main reason why one should decide to change is for your own sake. In different moments of my life I have found that I was making a big mistake. It's difficult to accept this. We have pride but there are two options: to be the same. It's our own right but we won't evolve as humans or face it and try to change they after day to be better. I think I generally chose this last option. ALVARO
