How do i change my personality?

There are two approaches.



One is mirroring, or imitating, someone you admire (and are able to be like to some suitable degree). Bear in mind that if you are choosing some media character you will often want to stick with an acceptable portrayal and get to know it cold, but rarely will the off-screen/concert person match their portrayal.



The other approach involves mapping out what you want changed and gradually adopting that as you would a new habit. Start with something like smiling. Spend some time in front of a mirror and find a smile that is reasonable to you and yet somewhat easy to maintain. Just as athletes rely to some degree on muscle memory, you try to not only see the expression in the mirror but feel what it feels like to make that smile. Then perhaps do something with your hair and clothes that is different and in fitting with your intended new persona. Just as the smile muscle feel, when you picture yourself in the new image you picture yourself holding the new behavioral characteristics.



As long as you don't attempt too much too soon and that there are no conflicts in your new behavioral ambitions you will look different and possibly have trained yourself to some increasing degrees to be different. This could range from speaking with better enunciation, and therefore clarity, to looking more pleasant, to being cognizant that certain situations used to make you really angry, so now you will approach those situations with more calm and reserve. These things are do-able, but you have to consciously do them often enough that they become habit to you.



I watched a comic on TV that often impersonated people in his comedy. He said that he enjoyed doing Johnny Carson's laugh so much that he has since forgotten how he used to laugh. The matter wasn't that he did Carson's laugh so much as that he enjoyed Carson's laugh. If you want to change to a nicer, better person, you may need to so fully adopt the modifications in ways that are enjoyable before they seriously stick. Until you make-over the person you see in the mirror to be the natural you, you are just acting. Your friends will know when you are just acting, and so will strangers.How do i change my personality?
You don't, and you shouldn't. Your personality is something so engrained into you that it'd be unnatural to try and change it. Just appreciate you for who you are.
think of yourself as an actor playing the character you want to be. that's the easiest way to start seeing yourself different. it's not you making the change and doing these things, it's your character.
behave like a lamb.
