Question

Is it possible to completely change the person that you are in only 2 years?

Answer 1

Personality is like an iceberg, nine tenths of it is below the level of consciousness. Even a team of experts working around the clock and the most dedicated personality in the world could not change MOST of who you are in 5 or 10 years.

Pardon me while I quote Yahoo:

"Did you leave the Caps Lock key on? Using all caps can be perceived as shouting.."

The best you can hope for is to change an egregious behavior every 10 years or so and maybe become a better person in the end.

Answer 2

hmmm..not totally..no. although with constant drugs or alcohol or sleep deprivation. no- i think that parts of your underlying peronality will always b the same.. they say our personalities are set at four years old or thereabouts (ie the person we are going to b is the person we are at about four)

Answer 3

Two years is probably comfortable.  Better off doing it a bit further from home, in unfamiliar setting.  It depends on your age now.  Older people have a far and away more difficulty, than children.

Answer 4

It just might be. If you have a clear idea about what you want to change and the person you want to become, and you work hard everyday to achieve that goal, you might be surprised at just how different you are. It's difficult to do, but not impossible if you are motivated and driven enough.

Answer 5

"Completely?" No. You can change in two years, but not completely. There are certain aspects of yourself that remain constant throughout your lifetime. Other things alter more rapidly and totally. So you are constantly changing, yet in other ways always remain the same.  

Answer 6

If you choose to.  

Answer 7

puberty does it quite fast, wars, disasters may contribute in it dramatically...stresses of any kind, positive and negative slowly changing a person. I mean it is real changes...Changes goes on permanently...those mentioned above just accelerating a process of a change...

Answer 8

yes... you can change enough in two years to be modified, because as you change you change the things that started the change so you are always evolving...

Answer 13

Sure, get your personal personality adapter from Sears. Tip--don't buy on impulse, watch their ad in the paper and get it on special; save bucks for the new you to spend on your next personality change. Have fun! And never stay the same.
