Certain drastic life changes (death of a spouse or child, serious debilitating illness, divorce, family rifts, etc) can have such profound effects on us that we never can go back to who we were before, no matter how much we might like to.
The trick is to recognize that we have choices about this new person that we are becoming, and to choose to move in a positive direction. It's not easy, and it doesn't erase all the damage from a life-changing event, but it does mean that you can come out wiser, more loving, more aware of what's valuable in life, and knowing yourself better.
And like all healing and changing, it takes time.

yes as a matter of fact you can but it is extremely hard to over come some of the things. I am only saying this from my own meandering experience. When I went threw my divorce I changed for the worst but after time and help I am back to my normal self. You have to find the things that you use to enjoy to do and make sure you do them with the same enthusiasm as you use to and take a close look at the company you keep. Dont be so stubborn to apologize to those that you loved and that loved you they are the ones that will always be there for you when you need it.

Are you talking about yourself, or someone else? Whatever the case, I think it depends on the way the event changed the person and how people respond to that person. It may also depend on how stable the person was in the first place and how well-grounded their personality was. People who had stable personalities and stable relationships, if they maintain their relationships (friends, family, etc.), they will probably return to their former selves, more or less, after a period of time, depending on how traumatic the event was. People with shakey personalities, well, their personalities could have changed anyway over time.

No. However, you can alleviate the impact this has on your life. For example, if you've had alot of negative experiences and it changes you, you can improve things by participating in life and create positive experiences for yourself. After many positive experiences your life can turn around for the better. However, you will always have a knowledge and understanding of the darker side of things that others may not share. You will always be changed, but you will still be you. It's up to you to remember this and hang on to yourself when things go so wrong.

Hey Buddy what's going on?
About your question, in my opinion it depends on the person. A person can change his/her personality for the worst, in many ways, many times. A lot can happen in someones life, and that person can think a lot about everything going on. That is why, a person can change his/her personality. I have my personality many of times, throughout my life. A person can change in good ways and bad ways.

It depends on whether you think you liked being who you were before, Remember your life experiences does not define who you are has a person, and you always have the power to change you for the better it's you choice. Live your life to be the best you can be for the here and now. Impower yourself!!

A change in personality is very fundamental. I would venture to guess it can't stick. It forms pretty early on, so unless it's life experiences in childhood I don't think you can change it long-term.
This person to whom you are referring may just have many personality facets and be able to switch between, but that person cannot annihilate the negative personality behaviours, they serve a function.

you have multiple self-perception as to the reason at the back of your thoughts. Being attentive to why you do (or do not do or like) some issues is the 1st step. you're able to elect no count number in case you prefer to proceed to stay your existence as dictated via your dad's perspectives, or in case you prefer to stay via your man or woman. As for feeling awkward around your dad while sexy women people are modern, that is in all risk for the suited, so do not difficulty approximately it.

No, you can't undo what's happened. But, you can rise above the bad life experiences, and use them to make yourself into a better person. Sometimes, a therapist can help.
