whiteman 14028 Report post Posted March 7, 2012 Being able to change your personality is actually a function of your personality. Kind of a chicken-and-egg situation. Some people have the ability to change, but others don't. Add to that the problem that many people with bad personalities don't know they have bad personalities. Myself, I've been able to change my personality over the course of a couple years after leaving university. I was a dour serious person prior to that, including throughout all of my high-school years -- exactly the time I should've been carefree and outgoing. After a few years I learned to take life less seriously, and I developed a better sense of humor, and my luck with women also changed for the better.

Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted March 7, 2012 ha ha ... I've got to wonder ... Does a change in personality lead to increased happiness, or does increased happiness lead to a change in personality? Does an increase in neuroses lead a person to feel worse about life, or does feeling worse about life lead to an increase in neuroses? Does extroversion lead to a positive view of personal well-being, or does a positive view of personal well-being lead to extroversion? Does becoming more conscientious, agreeable and open to experience lead to increased happiness, or does increased happiness lead to becoming more conscientious, agreeable and open to experience?
