they don't change...accept the gifts each person brings in your life and laugh about it...dwelling on someone elses negitive makes you negitive

I think you can change a lot of things about yourself if you want to bad enough. It's all about choices.
For instance, a lot of people who were abused in childhood grow up to become abusive parents. However, not all of them do. They can choose not to be that way.
You can't change the things that happened to you or that you did in the past. However, you can change how you react to them. Some habits are just habits, and some are a result of past experiences (i.e. talking too much might be caused by no one ever listening to you in the past). Either way, I think they can be changed. I mean, people quit smoking or drinking or doing drugs every day.

people who have this habits find it beneficial so they continue it. For example, a person nags becaue she gets authority and fear from it.
Only them can also change it. Let the person concern know that talking too much may have immedaite results but in the long run, it could ruin a friendship or bring negative effects. After this, it would be her decision if she will be changing such act. If she chooses to change but sometimes forgets it or couldn't control it then give her a hand. Its never too easy to give up something you like.
But if she sticks to it, then drop her. It just shows that she only cares for herself.
Hope to be of help!

For sure, but they have to realize that their habits exist and want to change them.
