Of course people can change! Here’s how I described it.
Most people find it difficult to change, particularly as they get older. For example, you liked unicorns as a kid to if you still like unicorns as an adult but you have to go through all sorts of bullying, etc. Who they have become is a very personal matter. Sometimes that identity gives them comfort. It's a constant in a world of change. Unfortunately this lack of change can form a spiritual, intellectual and emotional stagnation.
That said, each person, as an individual has the power to change, if they have the will. They don’t always have to change though.
In my opinion, changing can also be beneficial regarding personality. For example, you’re a very mean friend. Some changes in personality to be kinder are beneficial!
