People do sometimes change. It's just not the norm, i wouldd say so. The default is that people tend to be pretty similar overtime. So you have to allow for some change. How many second or third chances to give people? And how open should we be to people who really want to change,. Or how much should we try to change if we know it's going to be hard?
A few personal updates from your internet dad and then … WHO ARE WE? This one is a banger, folks. Personality researcher & psychology professor Dr. Simine Vazire dishes about introverts, extroverts, self-esteem, sociopaths, neuroticism, conscientiousness, Buzzfeed quizzes, yearbook inscriptions, trusting people, screwing up your kids, acting like your parents, changing personality traits through therapy or medication and astrology being put to the test. Also, Alie finds out what kind of dog she is. And thanks you for your #CritterPicforGrandpod.
