We all knew each person behave differently in their life that too base on the situation that comes in their life. But many time we come across certain people whose behavior we say or term as bad behavior as such. But can you tell me - Can behavior in person be changed? Is it that easy as we think we can do it?

Yes I believe that a persons behavior can be changed. It all comes down to learning. If they learn new things and good things they can change. But some actually cannot change because they might be too deep into whatever they are doing. And sometimes they do cross the line and there is no coming back. Thats why they have to be taught early on.

Learning can change or mold the person completely. But as you say when some people do't want to learn and get change themselves then it is hardly difficult for us and we know that under such circumstances our effort will never be fruitful.

Yes such type of people automatically turn to be arrogant and don't want or do not like to listen to other or what other says. They think they are the best in this world.

I know. I have witnessed it first hand. And it is not something I am a fan of. But these days, my cousin is doing great and even though he is the same person, he is no longer like he was.

Hi sriroshan, it's quite difficult for one to change his or her behavior. Unless he or she determine to change it voluntarily for realizing that it's really indecent to be a person having bad behavior With willingness it's more effective for one to shake away the undesirable bad behavior. Happy posting

Yeah, there is nothing impossible as long as one would keep on to be persistent until succeed with changing his behavior from bad to good finally

I do agree with you in this connection that determination is the must to change themself. There is nothing called not possible in this world. Everything is possible to do only thing one must take the initiative for the same

It is very much possible as long as the person is willing to cooperate. That is why many people changed a lot depending on their situation, status and experiences. Hurtful experiences make a person strong, rude and confident, or maybe make them weaker, sensitive and silent. So it is possible for a person to change behavior- knowingly and unknowingly.

I agree with you we can make one person to change their behavior after proper study like why they behave in such fashion. Then we can sit with them and try to make them understand that when they behave in particular fashion with other it creates a bad impression about them on other people mind and they also give the chance to other in the society to talk bad about it. It is very easy to spread about any person bad behavior but it takes a long to talk good about other.

It is true there are bad as well as good persons, good persons rarely change their behavior, but a bad person may become a good man; depending upon the situations

Yes there are good and bad person in this society some have become bad may be due to their bad luck or destiny as such but some have other reason too. I agree with you regarding good person becoming bad person at any given time but bad person to become good person it is most of the time impossible as such

that is really tough basically for sure,there is no use in it and i think we need to influence them so that we can ideally change their attitude

If we try out anything and everything can happen in one life. One should have the determination that they will not do anything bad so that other called them bad person.

You are correct if and when we happen to be in the company of the right people surely slowly but steady one can change their behavior to some extend

well they can change if they want to, it really depends on them . No matter how many may try to change one person they can't win unless the person himself want it to.

Anything and everything in this world can be change provided one have the determination in them. But some people does not like to try it out or take the step in that direction

As others have also said, with time, it's possible to change your own behavior. It's possible to do things differently in the short-term, but for the most part, it's very inconsistent whether you will always be able to do it. An actual change of behavior, where you don't have to make a conscious effort to behave a certain way, can come about if you truly have the desire to behave in that way AND you make yourself behave in that way so often it becomes habit. However, making someone else's behavior change is a different matter. Again, to change a behavior takes desire and constant repetition over a long period of time. So, to change someone else's behavior, you have to get them to behave the way you want all the time and for a long period of time AND you have to get them to want to change. Very hard to do. The change actually comes from within. An outside force, of any kind, can't make someone's behavior change without their consent. Even prisons, we can make someone behave a certain way for an extended period of time by force. But has their desire to behave in a certain way (asssumingly inappropriate) changed? If it hasn't, as soon as they can make their own decisions, they'll behave the way they want. I think, to reform a person, we have to do more than force them to behave appropriately or guilt them into behaving the way we want. It's a psychological thing. To get them to do what you want, whether it's a prison or in a relationship, something has to be done so that they want to behave your way. I'm not even going into whether trying to change somebody else is a good thing or not.

I fully agree with you it is much easier to change self behavior easily but to change other people behavior is difficult as we all knew many factors lies behind ones Beauvoir and we don't know why they behave in that particular ways. Not only this surely people will not like when other interfere in their private life and ask them to change the way they behave. But we have to keep in mind one thing if we try to force them, as you have said, there might be the case it may bounce back on us also. But there is no harm in taking the chance and try it out.
