Love help: Do you think people ever really change? - Help.com

No… I don’t think it’s wrong for you to not want to associate with them. Yes, people can change, but most of the time they don’t, unless like you, they work REALLY hard to do that. Life is usually just too convenient for most.

In regards to your friends, sometimes you just have to let them be, and you have to move on. Friends always come and go in ones life… it’s just how it is. Sometimes in order for you to progress in life, you might have to leave your “negativity” behind…otherwise you can’t grow, and they’ll either hold you back, or take you down with them.

It is not about being wrong or right, I do not normally cut my friends off. I keep in touch, may be less frequent if there is an unsolvable problem. I guess my advise would to be yourself and keep your friends.

its not wrong, I have done the samething, for years i have tried over coming my illness and soon started looking at the people i associated with and saw alot of negativity in them, so i ended up going of doing my own thing , getting myself better, so i think you are doing the right thing.

yes people change more often than many think, people often jsut dont want to believe people have changed

Maybe you’re just more grown up then your friends.

I think you should go it alone. Take life and throw it in their faces, you seem much better than they are, why don’t you just, cut your branch and flee.

Sounds like you’ve changed… haha… considering that you want new friends you’ve obviously changed in a dramatic way. It’s not your fault. everyone changes friends as they grow and change themselves. Just start seeing them less. still keep in contact but they’ll get the picture when your not around anymore. they’ll really notice that you’ve changed. good luck.

most ppl dont think ppl can change. but they can. if a person sees something rong in them and they fix it. ur friends willl take awhile to understand that, but eventually they will come around. whoi knows how long itll take. but it will come. mean while make new frineds that get to know the new you :)
