Do they?
Say there’s someone you haven’t spoken to in years and never really got along with…for whatever reason…
do you trust that things have changed and that they are more mature and have seen the error of their ways?
or do they just stay the same?
Re: Do people ever really change?
They do , especially with age and responsibilities . I know a lot of my friends who were like totally Lafangay and now mashaAllah are very good with their families and jobs .

I think all humans do change. It is not a gender issue . But I think it also involve personal urge to make things better .
Re: Do people ever really change?
And depends highly on circumstances. U change your location and most probably u bring about a certain change in you. Isi liye kehte hain ke herket main maasi berkete haigi.
Re: Do people ever really change?
I think positive changes in behaviour are an indication of moral progress.....but for negative changes there might be different reasons but humans in general do change with time, it's in our nature.
Re: Do people ever really change?
yeap i agree nature changes to at extent but wo khetay hay na kheera rha jata hay mean the roots some time they can get to the same thing over an over again .......but some people do really change there lifes like many fashionable girls get islamic ..same way boys also but its in ur inner heart .....!
another thing if a personality changes our lovely people don leave them by saying asking hey ur very change u use to do this and this bla bla and some time this hurts the person and then that person again get in to worse situation.
Re: Do people ever really change?
I don't think they change, yeah they might change their tastes in food and clothes and such but not in their personality.
Re: Do people ever really change?
no. People may have acted out of character in the past and regret their actions. You can forgive what people have DONE but if you hold issue with who they are, then there is no point going back.

You changed, you said it yourself on chat. ;)
Re: Do people ever really change?
^ haha. i dont remember half the stuf i said in chat :p
I guess my question is too vague- let's say you used to be freinds with someone but had a falling out with them. they've apologized and are back in ur life now. should u trust them and trust that they've changed, or would u be suspicious?
Re: Do people ever really change?
I'd be aware rather being suspicious.

in general, people do change (mature?) with age... NO?
Re: Do people ever really change?
I think people change for good.
Take me for ex. I think I was stupid but humble. 
but now I am smart and humble.
Akkal changes personality NEVER
Re: Do people ever really change?
I dont think people can change once they've aged. IF your a nagging/disrespectful/ person, chances are your going to get worse as you get older. (I've seen this happen) the MAN has become soo chilled out very laid back and a very nice person. The woman is the most awful person ever. And she will never change!
Re: Do people ever really change?
People do change with time. Some for good and some for bad. Depends on how life has treated them in past
Re: Do people ever really change?
Sara, I believe everyone can change, the question is do they want to.
One of the reasons we humans have survived for so long is because we can change & adapt but sometimes it takes a lifetime to realize that change is needed.
I've heard people say that "so n so will change after marriage"....OR...."so n so will change after having kids."
But I've seen people who still had the same negative habits even after marriage. I used to think that becoming a parent changes one's character completely. But, being a teacher, I've learned that this is not necessarily so. You'd be surprised at how toxic some parents can be. You wonder why a student is so troubled, and then lo and behold, you meet the parent and unlock the mystery.
Can people change? Sure. Everyone has the potential to change, but it depends on your efforts and sincerity. And you hear stories of people (substance abusers, for example) doing a complete 360 degree change.
I think that there are SOME negative qualities (being manipulative and cunning and consistently condescending) that are harder to control for some people. I've noticed that upbringing has a lot to do with how people turn out.
In my opinion, events in life such as (marriage, having children) have the potential to calm down some people and soften up their rougher edges......but if they've been consistently toxic throughout the years to others, at least some if not all of that negative essence still remains in them.
Re: Do people ever really change?
I dont think anyone changes, i guess the person only suppresses the bad part for a while in front of the world and it occasionally comes out or only in front of certain ppl.
