People grow in knowledge and their philosophies change as they learn. This is a life long process. Often their manner of behavior, dress, the way they express themselves will change, usually in subtle ways.

If a total and dramatic change happens "overnight", it probably is sorta "fake" at first. That is not necessarily a bad thing, just perhaps one striving toward being that who he wishes to be.

I dont believe in reinvention, only in change. There was this girl one time who told me she wanted to reinvent herself, like make up a new person and effect on people, and interactions. The thing is these people know her for who she is, and so she cant really reinvent herself, buton only change. That is unless she enters the witness protection program cause then she'd meet new people and even get a new name. But she'd have to witness a murder or something. Also, how easily can one stop being themselves, unless theyve been fake their whole life?

People reinvent themselves when they are unsatisfied with their current selves and want a new identity to improve their current situation. Some people reinvent themselves to be more like somebody else, somebody they admire and want to become.

Not everyone has to be fake to reinvent themselves. Although some people do become fake, which is bad.

You reinvent yourself in many ways, from physically to spiritually to mentally.

Physically -Getting a makeover, a new wardrobe and a new haircut

Spiritually -Get more involved with your beliefs/religion, enlighten yourself with life's mysteries by talking to a wiser person

Mentally -Learn something new (a language, a skill), Read more

NO!
Who you are is a function of your personal beliefs, ambitions, and how you conduct yourself. To reinvent yourself would be when you change your belief structure, goals and the way you choose to conduct yourself and trat yourself and others.

Physical alteration by natural means is not fake as long as you do not rely on any artificial prostetics to project an unauthentic appearance.

i reinvent myself when im not happy with the way things are in my life. i guess re invent is the wrong word because you cant change the core you. but i kind of take time to change things about myself or my situation to make it better.
