in my experience people don't change and if they do, it lasts for a period and then they go back to the way they were :P

The fairly obvious answer would be 'yes'. I have seen and heard about lots of examples where previously shy individuals start going to parties and become a lot more talkative overall.

My plan for college is to be less shy, and not be as mich of a sociophobe. I hope I can do it.

It's easier to do that at college. I went from a introvert to an extrovert. 

Just be yourself though so you find people like you, then you'll love socialising with them etc. 

Yeah, to än extant you Can surely do it - I did. I just started saying yes a lot more Haha!! That actually helped! You can rest when you're dead I used to tell myself, taking each day as it came. But I guess I've always had an easy time talking with new people and Bull shitting

Being a type B personality does not mean you have no friends, just like having a type A personality doesn't mean you're gonna get all the ladies...

Anyways, you can try to change your own "personality", yeah. People's traits are innate, though. You're still going to be the same person, just purposely be in different situations.

As a Type C (!!!) I say hell yes you can change.

However change requires two very important and extremely diffficult things.

1) You have to want it bad enough. Usually, you only want to change when you lose something very important to you, and use the loss as motivation. Whatever mdrives people to change is usually a large chip they have on their shoulder. Used in the right way it can serve as an edge to keep them going! Change also comes if your life literally depends on change, however even potential/imminent death won't make some people change, which leads to my next point.

2) You have to be intelligent. That's right. You must be smart enough to know when you have a problem, and then acknowledge the steps it will take to resolve the issue.You have to be able to research, roll with the punches, and motivate yourself to do better with specific strategies so that you can stay focused in your goal when things get difficult. CLOSE-MINDED people will NEVER EVER change no matter what you do or say to them. They are always set in their ways and would rather complain or find quick fix schemes of an informercial nature than do the work necessary for change. 'I've made it, I know it all" is their mantra.

In this world, people are very pessismistic, and I understand why. Life is hard, it ebbs and flows, and most of the time we have to struggle. But when we persevere through those struggles the success is so sweet. However, do not ever let anyone tell you that you cannot change. No one defines your limitations except for you (and maybe God if you believe).

Love is fake. God aint real. Why marry when divorce rates are so high?
People will tell you anything to make humanity seem like a worthless endeavor.But if you are head over heels for a girl right for you, your God has blessed you with health and determination, and your parents/relatives stuck it out in marriage for over 25 years, those people speaking against you can pucker up those lips and munch cock.

Wow, this spoke to me personally. Being a type C feels like a mental prison sometimes. I think it's especially important for us folk to have a definitive life purpose, worded mission statement- to keep inspiring us to come up with new goals, otherwise depression, anxiety, neurosis will set in.  

Yes, it's very much possible. We as individuals naturally already react and behave a number of ways when we are presented in a different number of situations or interactions with another human beings, or things. For example, we naturally behave a little differently if at work or at home, and act differently the way we interact with our friends or family.
It's only a matter of manipulating these actions in a way where you escalate them, turn these into personalities and control them.

I am the living, breathing proof this is possible. You may not always get what you see but I'm never boring. Think of me as a roller coaster ride. I can be who you want me to be.
I'd post this to the Pick-Up-Lines thread, but the thread is not my style. Too bad,I have so many
