There's no united answer to whether people can change or not. While physical changes happen inside the body all the time, in terms of personality traits and characteristics, it's very much debatable. They say that money changes people. But doesn't money actually make circumstances that reveal them? This topic is of very high debate with plenty of ramifications. However, as the Roman proverb says, "Every man is the architect of his own fortune," and that's the naked truth.

There are certain things that can be changed and influenced by the individual himself. Types of behavior, such as bad habits, addictions, and often health-related issues, are something humans can control and change. Speaking of which, it's usually healthy, good habits established in our lives that improve the overall quality of our lives and simultaneously replace the bad habits.

However, it's important to shove the bad habits out the door. How to break bad habits is a question many are looking for the answer to. And while the answer is rather obvious, it's not so easy to accomplish. The key is to replace a bad habit with a good one. And as with all behavior patterns, they take time to establish. However, the common perception that it takes 21 days to develop a habit is just a myth. In reality, it takes around two months to establish a habit that becomes automatic.

Nevertheless, if you’re wondering how to stop bad habits, it also comes with a challenge: to come up with alternative, less harmful, or healthy and good habits to have instead. For example, resist the urge to smoke with a few minutes of breathing exercises or replace scrolling on your phone with reading a book before bedtime.

Below, we've compiled a list of bad habits examples that you would be better off giving up. Remember that what is considered a bad habit may vary from person to person as it's very individual. However, for the sake of this post, we will refer to bad habits such as those that are harmful to health or socially treated as 'wrong' or 'unethical.' Do you have any of the 'bad' habits from the bad habits list below? Also, what are some good habits to have that you have successfully established throughout life? Let us know!

Same here! My husband and kids are ADD/ADHD too. If we put our fingers on the tip of our nose when someone else is talking, it means "I don't want to be rude and interrupt but I have a thought so as soon as you can stop for a sec please let me say the thing before I forget the thought." Works GREAT for us.

Yes, its rude to interrupt but...it has its benefits, it can have its reasons, and it might even help someone. Should I sit back 5 or 10 minutes (or longer) whilst someone is telling me something I already know? Yes, it is polite to listen to people and nice for people to be heard, but it's also a waste of everyone's time particularly in the workplace. Sometimes you can think someone is finished speaking, start to speak but it turns out they'd not finished they'd just paused for breath. And sometimes, your interruption can help someone, stopping them make a fool of themselves or from hurting someone. Not all interruptions bad.

I have an anoxic brain injury due to a hospital overdosing me. It is literally painful for me when people interrupt me. Because short term memory function is near to nothing I just walk away from strangers and slap the taste out of the mouths of friends and family who know better. ABI also impacts restraint and judgement.

I’m 61, and there are secrets people told me in high school, so between 1975 and 1978—46 to 48 years ago—-that I have still never told anyone about. Of course, forgetting some of them helps, as does the fact they really don’t matter anymore. But even the ones I remember, important or not, have never been uttered out loud or written down anywhere. Secret’s safe with me.

As an optician, I can't tell you the number of times people would almost brag about how long they would wear their contacts without taking them out or cleaning them. It's not a game! It's not a gimmick to sell more contacts to you when you are told to throw away your contacts on the proper schedule! Take them out and don't sleep in them! No doctor wants you to sleep in your contacts. The only exception is for "bandage" contacts or "cornea shaping" ones that are meant to be slept in and removed upon waking. Dirty contacts don't let enough O² through to your corneas. If you keep them in for extended periods, the cells can start to DIE. Amoeba in your shower water, if caught between your eye and a contact can literally munch on the tissue, which can lead to blindness. Just because you haven't gone blind isn't a reason to risk it. If you need contacts to see, you NEED eyeglasses. Rub the contact between your palm and finger on both sides and rinse. Store overnight in disinfecting solution.

This is so subjective and a razor thin line for women in particular. I say this as a woman who suffers repercussions from having the opposite "problem". I don't check enough and therefore "don't take care of myself" even though I know I'm doing more than men who are considered adequate. Double standards both ways, too. Men shouldn't care "too much", and that's a low bar. Make yourself happy and take care of yourself how you see fit.

She just woven their lives together in a fictional story and that left me a bit disturbed, annoyed and sorta glad at the same time.

Idk why I was so reluctant to switch to LEDs and CFLs. I thought they were way too expensive and didn't believe the life span. Holy s**t was I ever wasting a lot of money on incandescent bulbs. I've saved well over $100 a month on my hydro bill and I don't have to replace these bulbs every month. Some of the bulbs I haven't replaced in a few years now.

It's okay to do this, sometimes. We all grow, and change, and sometimes what you thought was best, in the past, isn't best, in the present.

Assuming that a person can stand or walk. Disabled ppl don’t have an option.

Mumbling/muttering can better than telling someone out loud what you really think of them though

Hold on, you're not allowed to do that? If they are wrong they need to be corrected. Otherwise they will continue being wrong. Trying to convince someone to change is not disrespecting opinions, it is sharing you're views.

For some, in a non-extreme way, missing a meal is the only way because nothing else is helping.

Oh, now this is just dictative and nitpicky. There are people who think parents of babies should not take the bus during business hours. You can't tell people to go about their lives around the schedule you think they should.

Today's smart phones stop charging when they hit 100%. Several years ago, they didn't. Now you can leave it plugged in without worry.

If deliberately forced, I'd agree. But people who have acid indigestion can't help burping/belching.

Some people can't help this. It can be difficult for people due to shyness, social anxiety, PTSD and autism, and I am sure there are other reasons I've not even thought to mention.

I used to do this all the time. It often led to more split ends. Just realized I haven't really done this as much in a years.

There's a lady I work with who talks so fast I have to get her to repeat herself nearly every time so I can comprehend what she's going on about. It's a safety hazard and a productivity hindrance.
