This is a very interesting discussion. According to an article by K. Kersting personalities due indeed change over time. In fact in terms of agreeableness and contentiousness we change the most. (Kersting, 2003)
But members, what do you
think? Throughout our lives are personalities’ change depending on our experiences,
our environment, our health, our relationships, etc. We develop different patterns of behaviour depending
on a multitude of different reasons. But
we can change those behaviours! Depending
on what we value and who we want to be, we can change! Challenge yourself. Try things you normally wouldn’t. Step outside your box and believe in
yourself. There will be obstacles but together we can face them!
Members, what are your thoughts? Who do you want to be?
