When a man wants desperately to change things about

his life, how does he begin to separate himself from those he love, that claim to love him, but may not be ready or willing to accept his change? Can a person truly change and keep the same people around him? I need to know.

The people that love you are supposed to support you. It is through change and struggle that you learn who your friends truly are.

if someone truly loves you, they will love you no matter the case. If you think its best you change then do it. If you want those same people in your life and you think that they will help you and you will benefit from them, then try to keep them in your life.

It depends on what you’re trying to change.

If you’ve decided you really want to be a serial killer or something, you can’t expect your family and friends to continue to love and support that side of you.

But if your changes are positive and will lead to a better life for you, then just explain what you need and give them time to adjust. It may take some work and a few people may not entirely approve, but if they love you they will try to understand and will be happy for you anyway.

People seem to forget this, and while of course there are exceptions, the most important thing is for you to be happy, and if people aren’t okay with that than screw them.

Sure, I done it.I think because it was a gradual process that made all the difference though.If its change for the better too.Motive is an important factor……..If you don’t get the kind of response your looking for maybe be more specific.
