Very true, Orzzz. Some things/habits are easier to change (and maintain), than others.

Some changes aren't even planned, but can become unconscious or reactive, due to life experiences.------ This thread is Archived ------
Didi7: What (usually) can’t change:
While people are generally capable of change, there are some aspects that are less likely to change.
*Core personality traits - While personality does continue developing into adulthood, core traits tend to remain relatively stable throughout life. These traits, known as the Big Five, include:
-openness to experience
-conscientiousness
-extraversion
-agreeableness
-neuroticism
These key elements of personality tend to evolve in smaller ways instead of changing completely. Someone who’s fairly introverted in early adulthood, for example, probably won’t swing toward extroversion. Instead, they might work to become more social by seeking out and cultivating important relationships.
People who do want to make changes in personality may find it most helpful to address beliefs and coping mechanisms associated with specific personality traits, not the traits themselves." (www.healthline.com)
