You Can't Change A Person Novels & Stories

“I don’t think people change. He may feel sorry because of the fractured bond, but his ideas have likely not changed.” I pulled my brows down, contemplating his reply. “You don’t think feeling sorry would cause the person to maybe change their perspective?” “I don’t, no. Prejudices are hard to break.” “Maybe,” Yasmin said, “but I do think life-altering events can change a person. Look at the Alpha.” “What do you mean?” Cedric looked down at her with confusion, as did I.

The knowledge that my stepsister, of all people, was now risking her life to help me. "She's changed," I said quietly. "Chloe. I saw it in her eyes. She's not the same person who—" "I know." "Do you think people can really change? Fundamentally?" Adam was quiet for a moment. Then: "I think people can choose to become different. Every day, every moment, we make choices that shape who we are. Chloe's making different choices now. Whether that's enough to undo what she did—" He shrugged. "That's not for me to decide."

"I know. I haven't changed. Not really. Not where it counts. The moment things don't go my way, I lash out. I try to control." "So change." He offers, like it’s just that simple. "How? How do you undo years of being exactly the wrong person?" I really wish someone would tell me so I could change for good and be done with it. Noah is quiet for a long moment, really thinking about his answer.

“If this was four to five years ago you would have changed from being good after I told you that.” “You always spoke to me about how you hated it, but now, it seems as though you don't hate it anymore.” “It's not that I like it or something, but I think everyone has their personalities, their features, and many other things that can't be changed no matter how much they try," I said to her with a fake smile and after a long pause, I continued. “A lot of things that changed them; it could be trauma or a strong phobia of something, so I don't think I should push at all if they beg to differ from me; everyone is different, after all.”

"Then we're back to where this began. No one should have to change themselves. You can't fall for who someone could be or who you want them to be. You have to fall for who they are." "I hear what you're saying, but I think there's room in there for improvement. The only thing that's changing is how we approach us. That's not a fundamental personality change. That's...learning how to do something better. Give us one more chance." He knew he needed to prove himself to her, that he'd failed a test he hadn't known he was getting. "Face wash and pajamas?"

My mind floats back to the dead bodies left for us to find, and my stomach churns as the images float across my eyes. “He isn’t what I expected,” Jacob admits, and I snap my eyes to him. As he presses his lips together in thought, he observes me. He releases a heavy sigh. “He is different. Ali and Wade have both mentioned it. We have all seen it. DO you think people can change?” I give him an incredulous look. “Of course, people can change. We do it every day. I’m not the same as I was yesterday, otherwise, there would be no point in living. We live to grow and when we stop growing, we stop living.”

How could I be sure that this new version of him—this honest, generous, humble man—was not just another mask? I had heard people say that you cannot change who you are. That fear and suspicion were parts of his nature, and that no amount of good deeds could erase them. Others said that people could grow, that pain and regret could teach lessons that nothing else could. I did not know which to believe.

Stop it. I licked my lips before returning my gaze on him. "And why is that?" "People doesn't change, Ms. Ivanov," he continued, voice was low yet precise, as if he had thought of this for a very long time. "They just learn how to conceal their true nature—adapting something new that they feel like suits them better. But in all reality, they can't change. It is impossible." His words stunned and confused me at the same time. It was such a deep thought that needs to be taken seriously. However, to say such words must have reasons and a fair share of experience.

She was still in utter disbelief and shock. “He is just my friend. He used to be such a kind kid when we….” “You are not kids anymore, Nina,” he halted her, trying to put some sense in her. “Kids can be innocent but it didn’t take much time for that innocence to turn into something vicious when we grow up,” he uttered and it hurt Nina. Why would people change? She had never tried to change herself. She was still that person who she used to be in her childhood. Her thoughts were still like her childhood. She had never wanted anyone’s bad and she could still never think about someone’s bad. Then why would the people around her change?

How come? " What is your purpose about looking for me? Are you also the one that give Rico the letter?" I am not sure why even after all this years he still looked the same as I remember. It is as if he didn't change. It is as if all this time he is having that same face who never gets older even if he looks old right now. " You can never change who you really are. A bird can never be a fish. A fish can never be a cat. A cat can never be a dog. And a dog will remain as dog even if they die"
