If you have multiple personality disorder, how long does it take to change between personalities?

It really isn't a time issue. Sometimes, a Psychologist can ask a patiet to call out their other personality by name, and that person will change their personality to that alter. Also, if you want to do a little more research or anything, it is also called Dissociative Identity Disorder to many professionals :DIf you have multiple personality disorder, how long does it take to change between personalities?
It depends on the will power one possesses. It also depends on self-determination or conviction.If you have multiple personality disorder, how long does it take to change between personalities?
Switching can occur instantaneously.

Does the real personality come out when drunk?

I was just curious about this....what do you think?.....

I've never been drunk so I don't know if I would change personality wise or anything

I have been high before...off Weed/Marijuana but that just makes me tired, yawning and that which sucks...It don't make me more confident....I'm probably less talkative than when I am sober

I am kind of a shy person....exp with females...when Im not in sitations...I have this huge imagination...of how to approach a woman....or how to talk to them.......but I just don't have the nerve....when I am close to the situation....I just back down...I say forget it....

When im sober...i'm just a quiet person....most of the time....not that talkative....or anything.....

Im not at all good at all when it comes to starting conversations.....

I was just kind of curious Does the real you (personality wise) come out when drunk?....Does the real personality come out when drunk?
i think the alcohol takes over the body and instead of it being you talking, its the alcohol. drinking makes people do stupid things they wouldn't normally do.Does the real personality come out when drunk?
I haven't drank in years but when I am ot drunk I am not the one who initiates sex. When I am drunk, I am like the crazy energizer bunny. When I am sober I am someone who tries to talk out problems, and have never been in an actual fight in my life. When I am drunk, I want to tell everybody off, and smack everyone around. When I am sober I am clothed. When I am drunk, I could care less if I am naked. LOL
I hope it isn't the real person you see when someone is drunk. My ex-husband used to get **** faced drunk, slobber and piss all over himself, become violent and stupid. I'll never forget the demonic look he would get sometimes when he was drunk.
It depends on how you might define ';real personality.';

Take our daughter's exes, the two most recent ones. Both were nice-enough guys sober, but with their inhibitions loosened by alcohol, were verbally abusive, racist, jealous, insecure, spitefully envious of wealth or education, sexually demanding, and otherwise charming.

Take also our daughter, a woman who's struggled with shyness her whole life. With her inhibitions loosened by alcohol, she becomes more confident, friendly, able to look people in the eye, and considerably more talkative.

Were the personality traits we see after liquor the real selves, or just a version of the real selves? Open to debate.
no it don't bring out the real you.. it does let you socialize more, when your drunk you just talk with out thinking! some will say that's the real you but the real you thinks prior to talking so how can that be real!

Liquid courage is all it is!

Its a good question, but the answer is less satisfactory. People respond in different ways to others when they become drunk. Some become more friendly and have less inhibitions. For them it is a way of being able to be more sociable. Others become harder and cruel, willing to pick on other people to make trouble and cause offense for the smallest reason and to get involved in fighting and crude behavour. These people become brave as lions but with more alcohol they cease to be so strong and become foolish in what they do.

The subject is psychologically interesting because of the question about ';the real you';. It seems to me that there is no real you except for the set of personal rules which we all make for ourselves in order to mix in society. Many of these seem to be instinctive or just common sense, but we all have them and they comprise the background to our characteristics. This is about as real as it gets.

Drunken people forget to behave according to these rules with a whole variety of different possible features being exhibited such as those as noted above. This is less real but it might be said to be more close to the basic nature of the person. However it is not according to his/her assumed personality (which is usually a comfortable one where he/she wishes to stay) - we are more complex than that!

Whilst I don't recommend drunkenness it is something that we should all try, if for no other reason that to know how the drunk person feels at the time as well as the following morning!. The degree of drunkenness is important. A few social drinks enable people to be less shy but too much and we loose our equilibrium in the physical and mental meanings of that word.

( 2) =9-3, word= F**aYOyo ko,

(3)= 8-2, word= o that BomWhen a human is Sexually Aroused, how Much does this affect -Change his Personality?
I'm gonna answer this as a question and not a maths equation.

Sexual arousal can change people significantly. It's nature doing what is natural. We are animals and have a need to fulfill our sexual desires.

Most people can control themselves. There are a number who can't. They try to touch someone or force themselves onto others. They get taken over by their animal instincts.

I am fed up of getting bullied for my baby personality and my terrible style.?

I am fed up of being bullied because of my baby personality and terrible dress Sense. My

personality is like a young child because when I used to go down the town centre people look at me so strangely. I feel so embarrassed because I either swear at them or run a way like a baby. I have very few friends who have the same sort of learning disabilities as me. When I went to high school my tutor group had only five people in it. We were all friends but sadly some of them moved out so It was only me and my friend David left in.

Me and david hang out but he gets bullied even more because of me.

My dress sense it bad because I wear tracksuit bot-tons with holes in them and vest tops with sweat marks on them. I can not con troll my aw full body oder. I tried everything but nothing works for me at all. I wear old 1970s clothes from the british red cross. I can not really aford design clothes like all the populare kids at college. I ware a leather jacket witch it torn due to wear and tare. It smells really bad because we can not find a way how to clean it. I have only one pair of shoes witch are neally in shreads. I don't know how to get any new clothes.

My personality is really bad because I had very bad problems when I was speaking when I was little. I have a lisp and I can not speak very well.

Everyone laughs at me when I trip over thin air. My hair just hangs in grease because I have only a bath and I don't know how to wash it right.

I have very bad acne witch is caused by unhealthy diet and going into the chippy all the time. Every day to get my chips and gravy. I eat this eveyday. I am quite over weight and I can not see past my big fat stomach. I have many strech marks due to the weight pulling the flab down. I am really unhappy with my self and wish I was a total different person.

I have hardly any friends any more because of my werid ways

Please can you help me.

I wabt to change:

Personality

Skin

Weight

Dress sense

Get rid of my greasy hair

Diet

I get very loney and sometimes I cry

PLEASE HELP What can I do to change my waysI am fed up of getting bullied for my baby personality and my terrible style.?
Ok well you've already answered half your own questions

lose weight if its bothering you. Eat healthy and exercise. Thats fairly obvious. Drink loads of water to fix your skin and cleanse your skin every night. Wash your hair with shampoo and don't use a conditioner.

As for clothes, stay away from the charity shops. Throw away all your old clothes. If you don't have much money, go to a shop like New Look, Primark, H%26amp;M or whatever the equivalent is in your area and just pick stuff up and then see what you like when its on. Jeans, tshirts with slogans, solid colour tshirt, tennis shoes, sneakers. Stay away from patterns until your sure of yourself. Basically if you go to a popular, cheap shop you'll only get stuff thats more or less in style and if its cheap it doesn't matter if you don't like it. Good luckI am fed up of getting bullied for my baby personality and my terrible style.?
Take a bath?
Bullies will always bully, regardless of what you do to change yourself. If you want to change yourself to increase your own confidence, that might be a good idea.

1. If you can't afford new clothes, get a job. You don't have to shop anywhere expensive. Yard sales, consignment shops, and thrift stores are good places to find things that are new to you and nicer than what you have. Alternately, you can try big discount retailers like Walmart.

2. Start showering or bathing every day. That should get rid of any smell.

3. Eat a healthy diet. Rather than counting calories, start looking to make every calorie count. If you make the majority of your calories come from foods that contain both protein and fiber (which will include most vegetables, whole grains, beans, and nuts), your diet will be a lot healthier and you might start to lose weight. Don't look to lose weight for the sake of doing so. Try to make yourself healthier (through a healthy diet and exercise), and you may lose weight as a result.

How much of our personality can we change once we reach adulthood?

I once heard that someone's personality is pretty much set in stone by age 7. Later, though, I read that psychologists had found that people's personalities can change even after they have reached adulthood. How much of our personalities are really under our control? Can we completely transform ourselves into an entirely different person if we choose to do so?How much of our personality can we change once we reach adulthood?
Any or all that you want. I am not the same person I was as a young person or even young adult. I have had a total change. It is not easy, it is not done overnight, %26amp; you will need help, but it can be done. That's just the way I am are the deadliest words in the universe. Just as in nature, to not grow %26amp; change is to die.How much of our personality can we change once we reach adulthood?
I don't think you can totally change. There are always parts of you that I think are learned behaviors, and I think it is truly the hardest to break these. I see myself do the same things my mom does that drives me crazy, and swore I would never do as and adult. I think you can work on certain parts of your personality but I think that to change yourself totally is impossible, plus would you really want to? I mean there has got to be parts of yourself that you like anyway. Right?
As life progresses a person becomes more mature, quieter, peaceful and harmonious with his surroundings and with everyone.

A persons personality might develop around the age of 7 if so then sure that would give answer to the boys stance or his qualities to look into.

This would also answer why grown ups refer back to days of where and when - though placing an actual number on this factor in time is astounding.

We transform by age - basic concept is the same kid on the block is only a tad older...no one likes to get older...so we're all big kids at heart!

Is it possible for a person toreally change a personality trait that defines them? e.g social anxiety, shyness

i have been in uni for around two years now and have very few friends .I have tried to go to various activities and join in, but its proving very difficult for me and i feel like i dont quite fit in any where. How do i get rid of my shyness or whatever it is that is holding me back socially?Is it possible for a person toreally change a personality trait that defines them? e.g social anxiety, shyness
The best way to handle shyness is through self-acceptance. Focus on the positive aspects of introversion and build upon these positive traits. For instance, introverted people need a great deal of personal space and time alone. And so they tend to be more reflective, empathetic, and sensitive to others. Therefore, they usually make excellent writers, psychologists, social workers and counselors.

The shy person may be more creative, artistic or musically inclined. Or they may be more scientifically minded and able to devote large chunks of time to research, while an extroverted personality might find the isolation involved in some of these careers much harder to deal with.

The key issue here is learning how to be comfortable with your own personality traits and talents instead of comparing yourself to some one else. Introverts are generally satisfied with a smaller, more intimate group of friends while extroverts are energized by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances.

You can be introverted without being shy. Introverted simply means that you process the world around you on an internal level, while the extrovert will process his or her thoughts through the external world. For example, introverts are stimulated by ideas while extroverts are stimulated by meeting new people.

There is nothing wrong with either approach, and learning to embrace your inner qualities will build your self-esteem , causing you to have a sense of purpose in your life. Social anxiety then, lessens because you are now focused on your talents and goals which will enable you to begin losing that all pervading self-consciousness that

causes you to “zone” in on your faults.Is it possible for a person toreally change a personality trait that defines them? e.g social anxiety, shyness
hmm.. they say that people judge if thy like you or not within 30 seconds, it sounds to me you need a confidence booster, your body language also may be giving negative vibes.

why not get yourself involved with activities with your friends? that way you have someone with you to help you through it.

also when you get to know people fine things you have in common and exploit it.

I hope i have been helpful =)
First STOP trying to be what you aren't. Different people is what makes the world go around. If someone else is good at one thing you are great at something else. You should always remember everybody wasn't created equal but that is okay. You will find you nitch in life in due time stop pushing it. Not everyone is good at everything. Let people like you for you. You will see there is something special about you...You have to like yourself first
Yes or No, it depends on how you look at it. We are all born with certain trait that defines us. These traits will stick to us all throughout our live, but there is some good news here. You can dull/sharpen the edges of a sword but its still gonna be the same sword. Basicly, i just said that you can significantly change your personality whether it be good or bad, depending on your life situation, or how hard you work to change it. For example, i used to a lazy pig who never did anything, but then i became a christian and i knew that in order for me to be holy, i must break that bad habit. Now, i am still lazy nonetheless, but i force myself to do things when i have to, and quite often. Once again we can configure our character traits but they will be with us forever, its what makes you YOU.

And for your shyness problem i cant give you a really great answer. Im not really shy, but im quiet; usually when i wanna make new friends i do the following.

1) Get to know a common person, like the person who works near you, a person you see everyday, or best of all your boss

2) Greet them with a good salutation whenever you can, and do generous things for them like give them a hand if they need it, open the door for them, etc.

3) Try to keep a posotive physical appearance. Try to look the best you can and just look as friendly as you can, dont just look all depressed and slumped

4) have very small conversations with someone each day and try to build from there

There are so much more tips i can give you but in the end, your just gonna have to suck it up and be confident for 10 mins, then the conversation will just pick up from there. Or befriend some of your friend's friend, that how i got some of my best friends. I got another best friend by asking him to borrow a pencil each day. Just be creative, but most importantly....Confident

One last thing. Although its good that you want to expand your circle of friendship, but dont completly change yourself; dont try to be someone your not. Every hair on your head and every trait you got seperates your from you mother and father. As i stated before, try to sharpen the edges of your sword but dont break it.

Good luck.
If you have social anxiety then I strongly recommend you seek help for it. I only discovered my 'shyness' was social phobia in my 30s and with medication my personality has not changed - but I've been released from that prison of fear and can now enjoy social activities, my personal and work life have exploded. I won't ever be an extrovert, but now I can make eye contact, I no longer blush and stutter when I try to speak, I don't feel the need to avoid people or social situations.

Medication is not the only way - before everyone takes offense - in fact talk therapy is preferred and quite successful. You're in the right place (University) to find help, please do so. I hate to think of others suffering needlessly. My life might have been very different if this fear of mine had been recognized, diagnosed and treated earlier in my life.

Good Luck.

Bouchy89
To begin, we are all terrible judges of our own personality. What we perceive ourselves to be, personality wise, is usually not the same as what other people see in us as individuals. What we really feel in our hearts is often not what we project in our personalities. Confidence builders and the process of maturing into the adult that we become will develop our personalities. The influence that you accept by mixing with good people with sound moral character will advance you to become an individual that you will be happy and satisfied with later on in your life. Those unfortunate people who are influenced by people who they think are cool and smart and in actuality are bound for a substandard life are to be pitied. Surround yourself with wisdom and intelligent minds and you will unconsciously mimic what you are exposed to during your formidable years.

Does a person that is experiancing low blood sugar experiance personality changes?

Does there mood change? I have heard of this just curiuos what are the reconizable symtoms of someone going through low blood sugar and what should you do??? How to help, I have a friend that I really like and he is diabetic and I want to know everything possible I need to know to take care of him if ever necessary.Does a person that is experiancing low blood sugar experiance personality changes?
Sugar issues will affect behavior.. I get very irritable when it goes too low. But, I also knew someone who would get belligerent and violent (the family had to let him pass out and then help him).

If you think he's having sugar issues, you won't be able to tell whether it's too high or low, unless he tells you what he's had recently. That may or may not be easy, as he may not be cooperative.

The best course of action is to give him some juice. If his blood sugar is low, it'll fix it. If his blood sugar is high, it won't fix it but won't really cause any damage either. Medical attention is always a good thing in either case, things can change quickly.Does a person that is experiancing low blood sugar experiance personality changes?
Yes their mood changes.

Symptoms of hypoglycemia include

hunger

nervousness and shakiness

perspiration

dizziness or light-headedness

sleepiness

confusion

difficulty speaking

feeling anxious or weak
Yes, there are recognizable mood changes. During low blood sugar one can become very irritable and in some cases can be very loving (that's from personal experience). It just depends. What happens is there is not enough sugar going to the brain, so mood changes can be drastic and completely out of character. They may act dizzy or ';woozy';, become shaky, or just be confused.
I say yes...and high sugar too. On low I have seen them get frustrated, rude and unreasonble. On high sugar the same but mean too, cranky, extremely tired.
Yes, there are mood changes as the previous answers have stated. If one has hypoglycemia, the best thing to do is:

1)Give them a small drinking box of juice, some pop, or a glucose tablet. Recheck their blood sugar 15 minutes later.

2) If they are still hypoglycemic, repeat step one until their blood sugar is in the safe range.

3) If they are in the safe range give them some carbs (e.g. bread) and some protein (e.g. meat, peanut-butter) to prevent anothe hypoglycemic episode.

In Canada the normal range is between 4-7. The States uses a different measurement system.

Things that can increase the risk of hypoglycemia include

1) Not eating enough

2) Taking too much insulin

3) Exercise

4) Alcohol

Hypoglycemia, if left untreated, can lead to a hypoglycemic coma. If this occurs you need to call an ambulance. Some diabetics carry around a vial of glucagon, an injection, which will raise their blood sugars when unconcious.
MLGABLE is correct!!
Low blood sugar will cause u to be irritable, very hungry and shaky, if it goes too low you could pass out or become confused and then pass out.

How to make my friends notice my personality change?

So, I changed my personality

Im much more outgoing, friendly, talk to more gals... tahts what Im doin in the summer

but in Brazil the school year starts in FEB and ends in NOV, with winter brake (1 month - July). SO, I changed A lot but for example in the Summer brake (DEC, JAN) I also changed but I was still viewed as a nerd.

The problem is, Im not a nerd and never was. What i mean to say is, yes, Im inteligent and smart, but Im not anti-social, im not world of warcraft or software designing addicted or smthg like that. and I also changed a lot in my personality (like more friendly, as I said before).

So, how do I change their point of view?

what are the best ways/methods (subtles or not so subtles)

thanks, c yall later

P.S. no Im not changing cuz of my friends, im changing bcz I want, and I dont like to be seen as something im not (ex. as a nerd - im not, but if someone says that, then i get that label and that follows me around foreva'!)How to make my friends notice my personality change?
They will notice. You do not have to do a thing.

Have you ever experienced a person that had a personality change for the worse?

If so, did the person ever go back to how they used to be? What did it take for them to go back to being decent again? I am refering to someone thats priorities got messed up. This person was once honest, caring and loyal and then changed to sneaky and self-centered.Have you ever experienced a person that had a personality change for the worse?
depending on what a person is going through in life they can have alot of changes going on. personalities seem to change with the circumstances in ones life. my ex changed drastically about a year before he left, began to become a different man, found out the reason was another women in his life, when she entered his life he changed, his priorities changed, his loyalty changed, and unfortunatly there was no way to get him back.Have you ever experienced a person that had a personality change for the worse?
Try and find out why that person changed, there may be a good reason behind it. Like hurt feelings or putting up a wall to protect ones self.
Watch out...

I think that there may be an inconsistency there...and you don't want to get hurt...but I think it is o.k. to be a friend at a distance....so that you are there without having to be in the line of fire....
Lost MANY friends to drugs and booze. None died, but their psychology was screwed up. I never stayed around to wait for them to get their act together, tho.
Speaking from someone who has gone through this, I think that person was the same person before you met - probably sneaky and self-centered before you. But they probably hid it from you but as you get to know the person longer -and they feel more comfortable with you, they let their true ugly self come out.
I have dealt with that a couple times also.It happened from life changing events.One buddy of mine caught his dad cheating on his mom and slowly started changing for the worse.Couldn't blame him but he started getting real mean.I agree with what someone said on here,after awhile,one's true self always surfaces.I've learned the truth always finds it's way out.

And no,these people haven't gone back to decent yet.I hope they do someday.
Depends on what caused the change if it was that major that quick i wouldnt hold my breath .. its not going to change back something bad caused it and it could take years to undue.. it took me about five or more years to get over what caused a change in me that radical and well im still not over it but almost back to the way i was before and thinking lately i think i liked myself better then.

I have a bad personality. what can i do to change it?

i'm 13. i'm 5'8 and i look very mature for my age but i think i might have adhd and i want to change my personality and how immature i act, but i just can't. tips?!?!!

haha. pleaseee /:I have a bad personality. what can i do to change it?
Do you believe that you have a bad personality.. if so, what are the bad things. Or do you believe that others may think you have a bad personality by the way that they react to your behaviour, or what they say to you.

Either way, write down what you believe is bad, then talk with someone that you trust.. someone who will take the time to listen to how you feel.. Being with someone like this, will make a big difference to start with.

It is my belief the ';bad people'; would not even take the time to think about this, let alone ask the question that you have.

Go Well..I have a bad personality. what can i do to change it?
you can't just change your personality. it can take years. what do you mean by you have a ';bad'; personality? are you rude, inconsiderste?
just think about : if someone said this to me, would i hurt them!

...except i hope you wouldn't hurt people :D

and you shouldn't try to change who you are, just be the best you.
Having ADHD wouldn't mean you've got a bad personality. People like people who are friendly so just try to be nice. :)
if you think you are immature, just study how more mature people act. do what they do.

dont

1)interrupt

2) yell

3) run around

4) have random hyper jumping moments

people HATE that, and it shows immaturity.

Personality change after declawing adult cat?

Note: I am reposting this question after deleting the other one. I'm not an idiot...I've researched the details of declawing. I've been around cats my whole life. But my parents had always adopted kittens and had them declawed young.

I want experiences people have had with this situation or personally know others who have.

My cat is not aggressive. He loves to cuddle and play.

MY QUESTION:

My husband and I adopted a cat 7 months ago and choose not to declaw it. He is now 2 1/2 years old. For the first few months, he was very good, went straight to it's scratching post and did not claw furniture.

Lately, he has taken to scratching the carpet in specific places. He does this a few times a day and we've tried to correct him, but nothing works. The worst is at night, he will scratch the carpet in front of our bedroom door and it wakes us up.

At any rate, we've given him a chance with his claws in and we are getting at our wits end. So this is our last resort.

My questions are for anyone who has had their cat declawed as an adult:

Did they become retracted and go into hiding?

Did they want to play less?

Were they less affectionate?

Did they have problems with the litter box?

Was their a change in their overall personality?

I DO NOT want remarks on how it's cruel to do this to him. We've given him a chance and have tried correction. Lesser people would have just taken him back to the shelter. For us, it's better to have him spend his days declawed in a loving home than cooped up till death in a shelter, claws intact. And our cat went through 2 shelters before we found him; We are not sending him back.

We are having this done, so please do not refer other options as we already know them. Thanks.Personality change after declawing adult cat?
I declaw all of my cats. My ex-husband and I had bought very expensive furniture, and my 2 year old cat was ruining it. He told me I had to get the cat declawed. I was very upset, but I did it. The cat was still wonderful. He never had any problems with it, and now I believe in getting all my cats declawed. I think they make better pets. Also, I never, ever have to yell at them. They are loved and loving in return. The only thing I will suggest is that you ask the vet for at least 4 days of morphine for your cat.Personality change after declawing adult cat?
Best thing to do if you want to base your question on experience is to have each of your fingers and thumbs amputated at the first joint (just have one joint removed). Although you do not depend on your nails to the degree that a cat depends on their claws it should give you the general idea.

Report Abuse

I feel so sorry for your cat being made to suffer an ';unecessary mutiliation'; because you care for your furniture more than him and are simply too selfish to find a humane alternative. People like you who cannot tolerate natural cat behaviour should never be allowed to own one.

Report Abuse

I'm so very sad for your poor cat that even after all the evidence from both your postings you are going to take a perfectly healthy animal and have it disabled.

Report Abuse

Doesn't the fact that the person best answer you chose recommended FOUR DAYS OF MORPHINE tell you how savage this procedure is? Don't you care at all about the thought of your cat being in so much pain that he needs a painkiller normally given to terminally ill people? All for the sake of a carpet!

Report Abuse

If you think it is satisfactory to have a proceedure that requires morphine, you are more inhumane than I thought you were. If one day you have to be on morphine, you will realise that the side effects and symptoms are almost always as bad as the pain. Shame on you, you carpet lover!

Report Abuse

This is really a bad solution for this kitty. If furniture and carpets are more important than your cat's well being, I feel really sorry for her.Obviously our suggestions to try more alternatives and seek behavioral help fell on deaf ears. There is never a case where a cat cannot be retrained.

Report Abuse

I really wish you would reconsider, although I realize that selfish people rarely do that. How sad for your kitty that you are more concerned about your carpet than your cat. I hope you don't have kids. What will you do when they track mud all over your precious carpet, or draw on your walls?

Horrible.

Declawed cats are more likely to become bitters and more likely to have litter box issues. Some also tend to become more defensive than before they were declawed. It doesn't happen to every declawed cat but it does happen

Just a suggestion but have you considered putting double stick tape on the carpet where he is scratching since he is only doing it in a certin spot? That will make it an undesirable scratching location for him and hopefully break him of the habit. Once he has broken the habit you can remove the tape, and it can be quickly removed when company comes over if you don't want to explain why their is tape all over your floor.
I have been around cats who have been declawed. Since I don't know what they were like before they were declawed, I cannot comment.

However, on the carpet issue, try sprinkling talcum powder on the spot. Your cat has his scent on the carpet, and that is why he goes to the same area. Talcum causes dust when he scratches, and they often will avoid that area.

Also, some cats prefer a horizontal scratching surface over a post, so I would also try those inexpensive cardboard scratchers to see if he will use that instead.

If you have already tried the above options, I simply don't try and review past questions to know what you considered or tried.

Some statistics for you.
I know someone who had the exact same problem as you with the bedroom door. Since we are in the UK and declawing is not legal, they solved it by putting a row of three scratching posts outside their door at night for a while. Eventually the cats learnt that they weren't going to get what they wanted (them getting up) and stopped.

It would be much kinder to send him back to the shelter with his claws, than without them and with litter box and biting issues. If you declaw, then you are signing his death warrant should he develop behavioral problems. Unless you are really saying that you won't put up with a few scratches, but will put up with carpets, clothes, furniture and even floorboards being soaked and smelly with urine? If you are not prepared to put up with that side effect, don't declaw. Rehome now while he has a better chance.
Unfortunately, all of those things you named are common things that happen to declawed cats.

Before you decide to have your cat declawed, there are many things you should know before you make your decision. The surgery is basically an American trend, and is considered inhumane and is illegal in many countries, (England, Scotland, Wales, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Slovenia, Portugal, Belgium, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Yugoslavia and Japan). If that doesn’t impact your opinion about declawing, maybe this website will help you decide: http://community-2.webtv.net/stopdeclaw/…

Cats that have been declawed…

… Can resort to biting, because that is their only means of defense.

… Can develop aversions to the litter box because their paws are sensitive and sore.

… Have to learn how to walk all over again. Cats walk on their toes, so when you amputate the entire last joint of each toe, walking will be very painful for quite a while.

… Will be less able to defend themselves if they should ever get loose.

… Can become less playful and less active.

… Will never be able to stretch their back muscles like they used to. Cats use their claws as an anchor as they stretch; when you take their claws away, they don’t have this ability anymore.

… Often get dumped at shelters to be euthanized because of these problems that the owner actually caused.

… Could have been taught to use a scratching post.

I believe that most people who have their cats declawed are uneducated about the procedure, its effects and the alternatives. It is not very difficult to train your cat to use a scratching post. The surgery is not simply a trimming of the claws, it’s an amputation of the distal phalanx, including bones, ligaments, and tendons! To remove the claw, the bone, nerve, joint capsule, collateral ligaments, and the extensor and flexor tendons must all be amputated. If you were to make a comparison, it would be like having the last joint of each of our fingers chopped off. So of course it is a painful surgery, with a painful recovery. There are often many complications in the healing process, including infection often from litter box use, resulting in a life-long aversion to the litter box. Other declawed cats that can no longer mark with their claws, will mark with urine instead, resulting in inappropriate elimination problems.

Many cats that have been declawed are traumatized and become withdrawn, nervous, fearful and/or aggressive. Cats that went through the painful surgery are more prone to resort to biting when they feel threatened. Since cats have emotional feelings, (just like we do) they can resent you if you decided to get them declawed. All of these things can cause depression and ultimately lead to a lazy, overweight cat.

If a cat that has been declawed accidentally escapes, he/she would be in great danger. A cat needs its claws to defend itself, as well as to escape by climbing. The constant state of stress, caused by a feeling of defenselessness may make some declawed cats more prone to disease. Also they cannot stretch their back and shoulder muscles like they do naturally when they dig their claws into a scratching post.

One popular alternative is Soft Paws. They are lightweight vinyl nail caps that you glue on the cat's front claws. They're great for households with small children and are extremely useful for people who are away from home all day and can't exercise the watchfulness necessary to train a cat to use a scratching post. Soft Paws are easy to apply and last about four to six weeks. They come in clear or colors--which are really fun.

Q: So, how do I get my cat to stop scratching the furniture?

A: The idea isn't to make your cat stop scratching, but to give her a place she can scratch. Cats need to scratch to keep their claws in good shape, to mark their territory with scent glands in their feet, and to stretch their muscles. It is natural behavior that shouldn't be punished at all! If you give her a nice tall (at least two feet high) scratching post she will most likely use it, happily. Posts covered in sisal rope are great, but my cats like the kind covered in carpet. A tall cat tree near a window would be even better.

You can try sprinkling it with catnip to attract her to it. If that doesn't work, use your own nails to scratch at the post while your cat is watching. It may sound silly, but it works. Any time you catch her scratching the “wrong” thing, don’t get mad and yell, just gently carry her to the post. If she still doesn’t seem to catch on, you can gently pick up her paws and rub them along the post. You should not force her; the point is to show her. Doing so will deposit her scent on the post, which should make her want to scratch it later on.

Cats that have been yelled at each time they are caught scratching will be more reluctant to use the post in front of you, at first. This is why it’s important to praise her immediately. You could also try spraying a cat repellant, (you can find at just about any pet store) on the furniture or carpet where she scratches. When you observe her using the post, give her lots of verbal praise and attention. Speak in a tone of voice that you would use to praise a child; she will understand. If she still refuses to use the scratching post you have provided, then you need to try a different kind. Try something taller, like a cat tree. The kinds with several different textures are great because each cat is different.

Q: How do I trim my cat’s claws?

A: Trimming your cat’s claws can benefit both of you. If your cat ever snuggles up to you and starts kneading on your leg, then you probably know that this can actually be a painful experience! A regular trimming will end your pain. Cats with sharp claws can also accidentally hurt you while playing. So, learning how to trim your cat’s claws can be very helpful.

If your cat has never had a ';pedicure,'; then you’re going to need to get her used to having her feet touched, first. Many cats dislike having their toes messed with, but if you start when your cat is young it will be easier on both of you. While petting your cat, casually glide your hand down her legs and feet. Once she is tolerant of that, use your fingers to gently squeeze her paw until the claws are exposed. When she will let you do this without struggling, then you’re ready! Be sure that each step of the way you are reassuring and praising her for being such a good kitty.

I’ve heard people say that wrapping their cat in a towel is helpful to maintain control and avoid getting scratched. It’s a good idea if you are a first-time-trimmer, and your cat’s claws are razor sharp. When preparing your cat, try to be as calm as possible. Feeding your cat a nice hearty meal beforehand should help. Kitties with full bellies are a lot less likely to put up a fight.

Be aware that if you are nervous, your cat will most certainly pick up on that, and become nervous, herself. Take it slow, and realize that even if you only manage clipping one nail, you have made progress! Don’t be discouraged if it takes a few days to get to all of them. Always reward her with treats and lots of affection.

Use cat claw trimmers and only take off a tiny bit at the end of the nail. Some people say to do it every other week. I think it‘s safer to cut off less than you are told, and to do it more often, (like once a week). Never use trimmers that are made for humans or dogs, because you are more likely to hurt her that way. You can ask your vet or groomer to show you the proper way to do it. Here's a website that shows you how: http://www.catscratching.com/htmls/artic…

Q: How do I make my cat stop scratching and biting me?

A: Don't assume automatically that cats that bite are vicious creatures. You must distinct between play-biting and real aggressive biting. Kittens for example like to play, and sometimes pretty rough. They use their claws and teeth to wrestle with each other. This is how they learn to hunt and catch prey, so that’s normal. They usually go unharmed because their fur protects them from serious wounds. However, human skin is a different story, but kittens don't know that.

Make sure you never encourage your cat to play with your hands. Use a toy, instead that she can bite and claw at. Never, ever punish or yell at her. Cats don’t understand punishment, and the only thing they learn from it is to fear you. Also keep in mind that kittens between the ages of three weeks old and eight months old will be teething off and on, and will have very strong needs to bite. It is important to know that you shouldn’t prevent her from biting, but instead give her something that she can chew on, like a stuffed animal.

Any time she bites or scratches you, (whether she's playing or she's mad) say ';OUCH!'; really loud, then walk away from her. If you've ever heard a cat howl when you accidentally stepped on its tail, mimicking that noise or hissing will also get the point across in a way that she may understand better. Walking away from her helps her learn that when she hurts you, she gets no more attention.

I hope that helps. Good luck.
Oh my heart bleeds for you getting woken up at night, I'm sorry but if you go ahead and declaw this cat then there ARE no lesser people than you. And yes, I do think it would be preferable to return him to the shelter.

Consider the following statistics…

A study of 163 cats that underwent onychectomy, published in the Jul/Aug 1994 Journal of Veterinary Surgery, showed that 50% suffered from immediate postoperative complications, such as pain, hemorrhage, and lameness; and long-term complications including prolonged lameness, were found in nearly 20% of the 121 cats who were followed up in the study.

In a study published in the January 2001 JAVMA, 33% of 39 cats that underwent onychectomy developed at least one behavior change immediately after surgery, with the most common problems being litter box problems and biting.

In a study published October 2001 JAVMA by Dr. Gary J. Patronek VMD, PhD., he states that declawed cats are at an increased risk of relinquishment.
What types of correction have you tried? Have you offered him some horizontal scratching pads, used double-sided tape as an aversion? Maybe he would use a scratching post or pad next to the bedroom door. Most cats respond really well to positive reinforcement when they are using the appropriate scratching posts and pads.

From a medical standpoint, adult cats are more likely to have complications such as bleeding for 2-3 days post-op, bleeding (reopening toes) when trying to ';scratch'; for 3-5 days post-op, development of infection, and long-term pain (especially in heavier cats and cats with large paws). Usage of pain medication in cats is limited due to their unique metabolism.

There is some anecdotal evidence to support psychological side effects of declawing. Some cats that were previously ';swipers'; may become ';biters'; as their options for self-defense have changed. It's not unlikely that the pain of the surgery could cause negative associations to develop. You won't have much control over what those negative associations are. Once a cat decides that a particular thing or event is unpleasant, it is difficult to convince them that anything positive can come from it.
First of all, thank you for reconsidering and asking those of us who have had experience with declawed cats to give you input here.

I adopted a declawed cat years ago. Knowing nothing at that time about declaw surgery, I had no idea what would be in store for me. This cat was declawed when she was about two years old.

1. She chewed up everything in our house. All our windowshades, lampshades, and other furniture and even clothing items were laced with little holes.

2. She was a skitterish kitty, and would never let me touch her paws.

3. She was more aggressive to our other cats, threatening to bite them often.

4. She seemed scared most of the time and she had difficulty balancing at times. I learned later that this is one of the side effects of the surgery.

It took a long time for her to calm down and be less threatening to our other cats.

I adopted her through a friend who knew the previous owner, so I can only assume that her behavioral changes and chewing on things was the reason for her being given away.

It took me almost a year to gain her confidence, and replaced shades with aluminum blinds.

Additionally, I do have two books to recommend to you about feline behavior which is top drawer. They have an incredible amount of information and suggestions how to deal with scratching problems. The titles are ';Cat Vs Cat'; and ';Think Like a Cat'; ,written by Pam Johnson-Bennett. It is available on Amazon.com.

Scratching posts are not created equal. Try sisal covered posts, and have several tall posts in your home. Cover the carpet with a plastic carpet runner, as cats detest plastic texture on things. When you catch him in the act of scratching carpet or furniture move him to the posts, and praise him tremendously everytime you see him using a post.

Sometimes cats get bored with their scratching posts or if they are not just the right height or texture they stop using them. Also try a cat tree that has rough texture and places in which your kitty can hide. A good tree, at least 5-6 feet high with a secure base costs less than the surgery.

Visit Pam's blog and post your question there as well. Her blog is really exceptional.

http://shine.yahoo.com/blog/as9t.IYmIZpq…

Cats really need their claws to prevent many physical and behavioral problems which declawed cats face. Here is an excellent website that discusses this.

http://www.theanimalspirit.com/declaw.ht…

By the way, we have several carpet sample squares around the house as well, turned upside down so the rough backing is showing. Our cats love them and really work on them. They do not touch our carpets .

Good luck to you and hang in there. With some experimenting and reading Pam's books, I think you will be able to find a solution that really works, and preserve his claws. Why jump from the frying pan into the fire with the possibility of his becoming litter box avoidant and developing arthritis later in life. Thanks for reconsidering.

Would you consider trying a few more things before doing the irreversible? I don't know what you've tried already, so bear with me if some of this is redundant.

Cats like different materials to scratch on. They also like a variety of scratching positions. Since he is scratching carpet, it could be that he would prefer a carpet covered scratching post. I don't know what he has now, but if it's a rope post he may prefer carpet. It may be that he prefers scratching horizontally. If you haven't already, you could try those cardboard scratchers that lie horizontally on the floor. I've also seen those cardboard scratchers that sit diagonally, so that would be another thing to try. One of my cats decided he liked a rope scratcher, but in the diagonal position, so he knocked over his vertical post and started using it that way.

Regarding the carpet that he has already scratched, you should try cleaning the areas with some enzyme based cleaner (removes his scent), and then spraying some cat deterent (available at any pet store) over the area.

And one last suggestion...You mentioned he scratches up the carpet in front of your bedroom door. Is he shut out of your room at night? If so, you could try keeping your door ajar so he can get in. Cats seem to have a thing about closed doors and always want to be on the other side.

Thanks in advance for considering my suggestions. I'm sorry I can't answer your specific question about behavior changes after declawing, as I've never had a cat declawed.

Good luck.
Dear not an idiot...

'loving home' and declawing does not go together, whereas, lesser people and return to shelter does. Since you think only idiots declaw and mutilate animals, be a lesser person and take this poor pet back to the shelter, maybe for the cat, 3 times will be the charm for a real loving owner. If it is true that your parents always adopted and declawed their cats, did you not notice that the cats became biters and were angry and miserable for their entire lives? Where were you?
It saddens me greatly that you seem only to be concerned with changes in personality as you make no mention of the physical effects of declawing your cat.

As you are adamant that you intend to have your cat declawed, then I suggest that you visit your vet prior to the surgery and ask him for a written guarantee to the following questions;

1. Can you guarantee declawing will not affect my cat's personality?

2. Can you guarantee that the cat will feel no pain, or post surgical discomfort for its lifetime?

3. Can you guarantee that a claw will never grow back, or that a bone fragment will not become lodged under the paw?

4. Can you guarantee that the spinal column will not be affected in time, because of the cat being forced to walk on the backs of it's 'heels' instead of it's toes?

I am willing to bet that either the vet will not want to provide you with such a written guarantee, or that if they do provide one, they will include some sort of disclaimer so that they cannot be held accountable for any problems that arise as a result of declawing.

EDIT: Despite another person's suggestion to ask the vet to prescribe Morphine, it should be used with extreme caution in cats. The enzyme that helps metabolize morphine is deficient in cats, which results in potential brain and spinal cord stimulation.

When I had my cat done, he CLEARLY was upset with me the first week after surgery. He was completely anti-social. After some time, he is just as loveable as ever. You'd never guess he was ever unhappy. you can also try putting some alum foil over those spots. they don't like the feel or the noise it makes. I do this to keep mine out of the houseplants. It works.

P.S I did this when I was like 13. Ididn't know exactly what they do. My other cats are NOT declawed.

Will spaying my dog change her personality?

I have a 1 yr old chow/lab mix and have an appt to have her spayed friday. But I don't want spaying her to change he personality. Everybody says it won't but I think it will. When I got my other b*tch spayed, shes a chow/husky mix and was 6 months when I had her done. After I got her done she got alot more agressive. I know its weird but she did. I didn't do anything differnt to her either. When I got my cat spayed it made her wild. She barely ever comes around anymore. All my neutered cats do is sleep. Roscos still playful but all Henry does is sleep all the time and has got fat. So my question is When you altered your dog did it change there personality? I don't want my dogs personality changed. I like her how she is. So I don't know what to do know. Oh yeah, and to top it off she was in heat about a week or two ago and my dad let her out the basement and I think she was bred. So now I have to have her an abortion. And I don't believe in abortions so this is hard for me. So now what?Will spaying my dog change her personality?
Spay/neuter does not normally change the personality of an animal, environment however will. Care for your pet after surgery give them assurance that all is well. It will always be hard for them to overcome any type of surgery but with love and affection after and reassurance that all is well in time they will be back to normal in no time.Will spaying my dog change her personality?
We got my baby spayed at 7 months and with her hyperactive personality we were relieved when she calmed down a little. But not by much, lol. But at one year she shouod be pretty stable. I don't think it'll change. And yes, make her have a doggy abortion. Irresponsible breeding (no offense) is why there are dogs in the pounds. So, even if you decide not to have her fixed, you'll have to be careful around any non-neutered dogs.
Some dogs get really stressed which can lead to aggression problems if they get spayed, but its not too frequent. If you don't want anything to happen, do something so she sticks to you. But it doesn't change the personality much- well it shouldn't.
I haven't noticed any (negative) personality changes as a result of spaying/neutering. If anything, it makes them more lovable. Any dog can become overweight and lazy (i've known many intact fat dogs and cats).
I have 4 dogs, 2 male and 2 female. I opted to get my boys fixed so I would have no oppsies. I will tell you that my male Shih tzu was my favorite from the get go. I had him nuetered and he is just as sweet as ever. He gained a little weight.. that is the only side effect I have seen.
I just noticed the dogs were calmer and more playful. Yes the dog needs more exercise if it starts to put on weight. As for your ***** possibly pregnant, when they spay her they will just remove what would have been a puppy if she is pregnant.

My cats were like kittens again, so i do believe it has something to do with how active they were prior. If your dog is great now, i really think she will be fine. The health issues outweigh the fact your worried she will change. Go get her fixed.
I was told that at 6 months the hormones are already developed and the personality will not change.

For whatever reasons, most cats do stop playing noticeably more than dogs do after maturity/1 year.

Spaying a dog helps prevent female cancers. Think of the millions of puppies and dogs being euthanized in shelters, that plus physical health is enough to convince me to spay and neuter.

I don't believe in abortion either, personally (though i don't preach it). But think of it this way: spaying her will give about 5 dogs in shelters a chance to finally have a home or at least not be euthanized to make room for more puppies.
There is documented evidence that a b***h which has aggressive tendencies may indeed become more aggressive after being spayed. Testosterone is the hormonal basis for aggression, and when the estrogen level is lowered (by spaying) testosterone plays a more dominant role in temperament. Spaying will not create aggression in an unaggressive girl. If this girl has an ';edge,'; you might be wise to leave her intact... if not, spaying ought to be fine. It is not impossible to keep an intact b***h and avoid an unplanned litter... crates, supervision, fences (with supervision), etc. ... it is a minor hassle a couple of times a year... not particularly fun, but one does what one has to do (I have had an intact male and female in my home for several years, and no puppies).

It is also possible that your other b***h's temperament shift had more to do with maturation than with hormones. She was a puppy still when spayed, and her increased aggression could be a result of her becoming a mature dog.

If this girl is fully mature with no aggressive tendencies and you do elect to have her spayed (probably what I would choose to do, if I was in your place), and if she was bred and became pregnant as a result, please understand that what she is carrying now are some miniscule bits of cellular matter that do not look like puppies, have no thoughts and no ability to sense pain or fear. There is nothing for you to feel badly about.

Ambien Blackout-Personality Change? Don't Recall Conversation:(?

Here is the situation. My ex and I broke up last weekend. It was painful for me because I am the one that caused it by being inattentive to her needs..It was not because I was a jerk and mistreated her..I just didn't treat her the way I know she should be treated. I wasn't romantic like I should..didn't tell her how much I cared for her..things like that. The bad thing was is the main reason I was not doing those things is I was suffering from depression and was not myself. I didn't even realize how far I had gone down hill. It was not a severe depression where I really noticed it..like wanting to die or anything..Just caused problems with sleep, energy, emotional issues and lack of sex drive, etc.I absolutely hated myself last weekend for failing to recognize how my depression was affecting things and failing to get help sooner. I did get help this week. I needed it.

However, I was hoping that my ex and I could remain on friendly terms., We did e-mail each other back and forth this week going over what happened in our relationship and her providing me some guidance. It sounded as if we were on friendly terms, and friendship, at least on a loose basis may be possible. She said she wanted to put those ';issues behind us';

Then all of a sudden yesterday she said she did not want to correspond with me further because of my scary behavior LAST weekend (nearly a week later). I do remember being really depressed on Saturday and Sunday and calling her repeatedly. I thought that is what she meant. No, she said I made some kind of threat to reveal details of her personal life to her friends.

I really do not recall doing that. Apparently that happened Sunday night. The first I heard about it was nearly a week later, and she was nice to me the entire week over e-mail.

Last Sunday night I did take my two Ambien (20mg) and two benadryl. I do recall not wanting to be awake for very long and wanted to sleep for a while because I was in so much emotional pain. Apparently this threat to reveal information occured that evening. I sincerely do not recall doing such a thing, but she is not usually the type of person to make something.

I am just very concerned about what happened. I feel like my personality totally changed while under the influence of the medication and made me say something to hurt someone which is not something I would normally do.

I am trying to get her to forgive me, but I don't think it's going to work. I feel like a total jerk.

Can these drugs ';change'; your personality and/or was it something I would have said normally? Any assistance would be appreciated.I am trying to get closure on this. It really bothers me I would hurt someone or make them concerned/scared. It is not normal for me.Ambien Blackout-Personality Change? Don't Recall Conversation:(?
it may not have been something you would normally say. My Husband is on Ambien CR and he has been known to write emails and also buy stuff and also eat stuff and he does not remember in the morning. He will sleep walk and come downstairs and get food and do it all like he is wide awake. It is the most bizzare and scariest thing about taking these meds.

I think maybe it was good that you had this happen because now you can have the energy and time to put into yourself and get your life straightened out before trying to have a relationship. You need time to talk, get on meds that might help you sleep that won't cause funky side effects, work on your own self esteem, etc.

You can say this is a blessing in disguise. That is how I look at things like this.

It isn't fair to take her on this rollercoaster ride with you. Now I understand if you have been married as long as my Husband and I have and then all of a sudden you come down with BiPolar, but as for going out this may be more than either of you can handle at the moment.

Does neutering a dog change his personality?

I just got my 5 year old dachshund neutered, he's laying around cuz he's in pain. I know that's normal... but how long will he be like this?

It's no fun. When I went to pick him up from the vet he was happy and wagging his tail in excitement, but that didn't last long.

My mother in law got her male dog neutered a few months ago. He's just a puppy, so he didn't really have the time to develop a personality. My dog is 5! I don't want his personality to go away!! His personality is why I love him so much!

I'm happy I got him neutered, it's much better for his health. I just don't want his personality to change. I'm scared he's gonna be all depressed and stuff for the rest of his life now that he doesn't have his balls anymore. lol

Will his personality change now that he's neutered?

Stories from personal experience would be great!Does neutering a dog change his personality?
It is best to get them neutered young, but as long as they are in good enough health to endure surgery, it is never too late. His personality will not change unless he was dominant or marked frequently as he may stop having the desire to do these things.

Thank you for neutering!

Best wishes!Does neutering a dog change his personality?
No it does not all of my dogs have been neutered except for my puppy because he is to young ( but he will be )...

Neutering does not change a dogs personality, it enhances the dogs temperament and health....Altered dogs are healthier.
He will be ok soon, i would be a little peed off if someone took my balls away, his personality shouldnt change and he is just feeling sorry for himself. hes probably still sore and a little grumpy, so dont worry.
His personality isn't going to change, he's just not feeling up to par and will be like this for about 2 days or so. You will see he will perk back up once he's not as sore and starts eating and gets back to his routine.
Hi,

he will be okay, you just need to give him time. it's like if we get a tooth out it's really sore and we just can't Be bothered but after a few days/weeks everything's ok.

hope i helped :)
No, He will be fine. It just calms them down. If a dog is aggressive and you get him neutered then it calms him down a lot. Just give him time to heal.
when you neuter him his personality will not change
his personality might change a little
Of course he will return to normal!!! He is missing his balls right now.. Give him time to grieve
yes, and i makes them fatter :)

my bestfriend has one.. and he got huge!
When you picked him up from the vet he would have been very happy to see you AND likely still painfree. Once the painkillers/anaesthetic wore off, he wouldn't be feeling too crash hot. His personality will stay the same, he's just not feeling 100%. Depending on how long ago the surgery was, he could be feeling the after effects of the anaesthetic too.

If he's still looking miserable after 3 or 4 days head on back to the vets but I wouldn't be worried. He won't even know they're gone. As important as it might seem to us, as humans, dogs don't give a damn :).

Kudos to you for neutering, BTW!

How do i change my personality?

To help yourself, have hope and pray about your life. Tell God about it. God is love. Know that God can help you live a better life. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: ';Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen.'; I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church youth group. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.How do i change my personality?

If your 'friends' don't like you for who you are or who you hang out with, then their not your 'friends'. And just because all you hang out with are girls doesn't make you 'gay'. I should know. I hang with tons of guys and do guy stuff with them while I'm actually a girl myself. In fact, your buds should be jealous because you get attention from all the women. Find out who your real friends are. Nuff said.

Personality Change Experiment.?

I am a very....how should I say it..? I guess Curious person. I want to learn, I want to know, I want to discover, and I will stop at nothing until I find out what I want to find out. It does not matter what it is at all, it could be something as small as whats behind this door? to the secrets and long lost knowledge of the universe I will stop at nothing to find out even if it takes all my life. now because of this little quirk of mine I am about to start an experiment....on myself. Honestly I don't like the way I am. my so called ';personality'; . So my experiment is to make a personality change! fun right?! I am basically going to make a blue print of how I want to be and I will follow that blue print to the dot. I am going to constantly analyze myself,as I do anyway, and see how this experiment goes. I will change many things about myself from my self confidence to my weight to the way I view things and my perspective on life and I am doing this mostly for my Quirk,because I want to know if it is possible. I want to know If I can truly pull this off and transform myself. ( And yes I have always had an interest in psychology) I just have one thing to ask and that is to give your opinions and thoughts on this before I start.Personality Change Experiment.?
IVe done that before. I just kept imagining i was one way for a long time, and now i am starting to believe it and transform into that person. It kind of sucks.

Will my personality change as I get older?

I'm not happy with my personality - i'm a quiet and not enthusiastic person - and no matter how hard i try to change it, it won't change! and i see that all the adults at the co-op placement where i work all have a cool and outgoing personality, and i was wondering that maybe (hopefully) over time, will mine change too?

maybe it's because i'm a teenager right now and since i'm worrying about a lot of other things as well, that maybe my self-esteem is low.

but when i get older (maybe after highschool) will i be a totally diffferent person, with good speaking skills, and a good personality?

does it just come? or do i have to work on it?

thanksWill my personality change as I get older?
start working on it now, it wont just come overnight

find a nice self help book (if you are interested email me and ill recommend one)

you basically need to encourage yourself to increase social interaction, open up more and just get active and do things!

good luck :)Will my personality change as I get older?
age has nothing to do with how your personality changes. environment, friends, family and school kind of mold your personality to fit into where you are and what makes you feel comfortable. you need to surround yourself with people whom you can be yourself with. and then you meet your friend's friends and make your circle larger until a point where it comes naturally to you. but, make an effort to start now, or it will never happen.
Well your personality is yours... thats who you are. Dont change find people who are really enthousiastic and you can balace each other out very nicely :)
it should. you wont be the same person when you're older, and your personality wont either.

best of luck =)

How does Patty Bergen change from the beginning to the end in Summer Of My German Soldier/?

She is heart broken. Caring for someone more than herself, she learns to live with her parents' cruelty and to think for herself.

Can you change your personality?

Can you change who you are? I recently just been told that I pout and have temper tantrums, im selfish, manipulative and do not always listen to what my partner ask. In other words I am immature? Can you change these things and how I have been trying and some things have changed but not enough to help my relationship. I want to change for me and for my partner. I would do anything to be with herCan you change your personality?
You can't really change some basic things about yourself, but you can def. modify your behavior, but it is going to take time, effort, and learning on your part. I find that learning good communication skills can help in all the areas you are having issues in.

Pouting and temper tantrums are a part of not dealing with frustration and anger well. You can go to therapy to learn some coping mechanisms.

Listening and paying attention is a part of communication, and that will be helped by learning communication skills as well. I find that repeating back what my partner has told me in my own words (';checking in';) has really helped me understand what my partner is trying to tell me.

Some of that may be miscommunication, some of it may be some immaturity on both of your parts. A good relationship counselor can help you all learn to communicate better as well as learn to give a little so everyone is happy with the situation. Please consider couples therapy !Can you change your personality?
yes you can change,if you want to do something so bad,just put your mind into it,it will happen ! anything is possible

not only for the sake of your lover,for your sake !
You can't 'force' yourself to change. Change comes with maturing, growing up, and experience. As you grow you gain new perspective on things.

Maybe at five you would've thrown a tantrum at not getting to eat McDonald's but now i'm pretty sure you dont, right? Because you've grown and know that there are bigger things.
As far as changing who you are completely, seldom will/can it happen. A way to avoid doing what you're doing (manipulating, being selfish, etc) is to just think about what you do before you do it. So yes you can change.
yes my dad used to be very mean he would come home and smash every wall and every idem in the house he would also call me an my family names but he got counseling han he is not to bad now

if u have more pressure on paper

Heavy pressure indicates commitment and taking things seriously, but if the pressure is excessively heavy, that writer gets very uptight at times and can react quickly to what they might see as criticism, even though none may have been intended. These writers react first and ask questions afterwards.

Would you ever date someone with Multiple Personality Disorder?

Honestly, would you? I have MPD, and I imagine it would be confusing for someone to date me. For those of you who don't fully understand what this is, it's not like I feel a shudder through my body and suddenly change personalities. You know how you can change the settings on your computer? Well, if my brain was a computer, it's changing settings at random. There's no warning, you don't feel anything, and you lose recent memories of your other personalities and things that happened. I'll change my opinions, the way I talk, my attitude towards life, and won't remember what I used to be like unless it's somehow documented and someone shows me. If you interviewed me, then interviewed me again in maybe an hour, it would be like interviewing 2 totally different people. I also sometimes forget events that happened before the personality switch. Heck, I could have changed personalities in the middle of writing this. However, I don't think I've ever switched back and forth between dialogue and my personalities talked to each other. Anyway, do you think you'd be able to handle dating someone like me? All four of my personalities are in love with this guy, but I'm afraid he wouldn't want to be with me because of my MPD.Would you ever date someone with Multiple Personality Disorder?
I live with DID, and had the dx around the time I met my hubby. People with MPD/DID are able to lead normal lives just like everyone else. When I was dating, I was nervous about his reaction too. It was tough at first to learn to trust (many multiples have trust issues), but when we were ready, we up'd and spit it out! First, we explained about the dx, and what it was and how it came about (minus triggering details)-- let it sink in, then little by little we began to emerge and now knowing that I was being more than moody, learned to sort us out as individuals (for better or worse, lol). The biggest issues had nothing to do with dating itself, it was more the baggage we are carrying that had us become dissociative to begin with. My husband is a very loving and patient man, we are married now for 7 1/2 years and have 2 beautiful children. E-mail me if u want vault2007@yahoo.comWould you ever date someone with Multiple Personality Disorder?
Well, I don't know how old you are, but I would recommend dating someone that is 20-30 years older than you. I'm assuming your in twenties, maybe around 22-23 years old. Older man would have more patience with you. I would also recommend that you become an expert in knowing men, and in communication/body language and of course become an expert in emotional Intelligence. I also recommend that you talk to men on this site to just be friends with. Ask them questions about men, etc.. Good luck. Don't do anything about this guy you like, just forget about a relationship for now.

I need to change my personality but I have no idea how?

people always tell you to be yourself, but the problem is that I cant be myself because I have no idea who that is. Ive spent my life trying to be like other people and now have no idea what to doI need to change my personality but I have no idea how?
who %26amp; what you surround yourself with shapes the person you are. get yourself into different environments or more ideal environments. even if you can't live in a different environment you can still go to it.

%26amp; figure out your values and stick with them. That'll also help define the person you are.I need to change my personality but I have no idea how?
find yourself, listen to some good music, and make review of it.

writing (anything creative) its a great way.

try to meet new people that are like you, if you like art, take photograph lessons, if you like sports, join a team.

try belong to something, to some group, to anything

Personality Change???

My cousin told me that he hates the way he is and he wants to complety change but i really dont know how to help him. how can someone change the way their personality is ?Personality Change???
they can't. help him to accept and love himself as he is.Personality Change???
By reviewing all his qualities. Taking an inventory of himself and searching for what drives his bad qualities. Then reviewing his good qualities and learning how to increase the use of those and appreciate them more. Finding out what qualities he admires in other people and how to implement them in his own life.

It sounds like a great opportunity for him to grow and form his identity.
he's lying. first of all,he wouldn't act like he is if he hate his personality.

Have you treid the Lil Jack workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezr

Merry Christmas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQkyA_xDbI am wanting to lose weight and get abs And change my personality and make me look good how can i do that ..?
First and foremost, why do you want to change your personality?

If he doesn't like you for you then to heck with him!

Loosing weight and everything should also be a health concern for you and not for others. And of course the typical standards would apply: don't eat junk, exercise, drink plenty of fluids (since people sometimes mistake thirst for hunger.) Last thought-when you like yourself; your self confidence is a turn on to men. So remember how beautiful you are and when you love yourself others will notice.
It is good that you want to get healthy... but do you really want to change your entire being just to impress some guy?

First of all you need to work on your self-esteem. I listed a link below with things you can do to help. Just keep the things you like about yourself in mind.

Make sure you eat enough calories to stay healthy. http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/calneed

Has a calculator to help give you a ballpark of how much you need to eat a day to stay healthy, but still lose weight. Write down what you eat each day and what the calories add up to. It makes you more aware of what you are putting in your mouth. Try to make as many of those calories healthy calories as possible, but allow yourself a treat every now and then so that you don't end up blowing it by pigging out after denying yourself so long.

Take a multivitamin.. does wonders for your energy, hair, nails, %26amp; skin

Exercise for 30 mins a day 5 times a week. You can do all kinds of things. Go for walks, dance classes, dance around the house, start a game of frisbee or soccer at the park.. even cleaning your house burns calories.

Drink at least 8 8oz glasses of water a day. It is good for both your skin, health, energy, and weight. If you drink a glass of water before your meals you will not feel as hungry and oftentimes people mistake thirst for hungery. Plus if you are drinking water then you aren't getting empty calories from sodas etc.
Interesting that you tie all these together... losing weight and getting fit are connected with changing how you think (that is: changing your personality).

Here's the funny thing - taking care of your health is something you do for *yourself* not because it impresses someone else. Oh, maybe having a great partner is a nice side benefit of good health. But the thing that will have attracted them is your desire to be healthy and living an active and interesting life. THAT is what attracts a guy - your being a cool person, not just acting a certain way because you *think* it will get his attention.
Vomit after every meal. That's what my brother did, and he looks amazing.

As for your personality, I'd go to a local truck stop once you lose the weight. Learn how to talk to the men. Learn how to make them want your sexy new body. Perhaps you could earn a bit of extra spending money while you're there. Once you have mastered the taming of a trucker, you will have a personality that this beau will surely be attracted to!
Eat slightly less, exercise slightly more. Drinking lots of water will also improve your skin. I also find regular stretching improves my muscle tone and makes my legs look slimmer. Just try to stay healthy. I know everyone says it but don't go on a crash diet - then you don't look fit, you look scarily thin and alien.

=]
Well I think trying to change your personality for someone else is f****** ridiculous and shows just how desperate you must be! Don't change who you are inside, and only change your body if it's for yourself.
You are Sexy! Think it. And it will be reality.

Abs. follow these instructions exactly:

How do I change my personality?

Well, Im going to a japanese school, i dont know anyone there, so i guess i can start over.

right now, im the nerdy type (video games, anime, manga.) but i dont act like a nerd in public

If youve seen Lucky Star, Im JUST like the Girl KONATA, the short one with blue hair.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGdWzbkfdHow do I change my personality?
start by acting/being as if the change has already happened- fake it 'til you make it! it works.How do I change my personality?
LMFAO! The things we'll do for commission... Got to love Japanese tendency for exaggeration.

Why would you want to change your personality? Would you feel okay with you acting differently from how you are? If you are ';nerdy';, but don't act it in public, then why change? Just be yourself and you'll be just fine.

How old does one have to be to take a personality test?

In other words, how young is too young? If a ten year old were to take the Jung Typology test, would it be at all accurate? I am aware personalities change over time, but does a ten year old have the capacity to take the test in an objective manner such that it would be accurate?How old does one have to be to take a personality test?
I'm not aware of the content of the Jung Typology test, but most psychology tests have age-brackets. Most contemporary tests have undergone vigorous testing (otherwise they would not be accepted by the psychology community) and this testing would tell you if it would be suitable for younger people.How old does one have to be to take a personality test?
probably 7 or so. When you can write and stuff.
Physical weight does not count here. Mental maturity determines. It can come at any time to a person who thrives to get it. So age is not really going to matter.
Considering puberty changes the person personalities over a long period of time. I say the youngest age can be 20 or 21 b/c you have to wait for puberty to be over so you have a stable personalities. In puberty your personalities changes from day to day or even week.

Friends: why did Monica change?

Has anyone else noticed how Monica in friends changed in later series?

She changed personality totally, and her voice changed to a really whiny squeeky one and she got really bossy.

I know all charachters changed as the years went

on and evolved, but she was just a lovely charachter to someone really horrible,,,,,,,,,,

Was there a reason for this change in the plot line or in her personal life?/

Does anyone else know what i mean??!! LOL!!!Friends: why did Monica change?
Who knows really? Her character went through a lot of drama with her failing relationship with Richard. I guess she was just getting older and wanted to be married and have kids so she was getting bitter.Friends: why did Monica change?
wtf are u talking about
It's kinda true when you think about it. I reckon it could be her transition from a friend to a married woman. Maybe? She's still my fave though

Attention guys: What would cause a 180 degree personality change?

I'm extremely concerned about a friend of mine who recently told me he thought we shouldn't talk anymore. We used to be very close and would talk about anything. Although, he's never been one to get too deep into feelings and emotional stuff. It just strikes me as odd that one day he seemed genuinely concerned about things and like a week later; calls the whole friendship off. I know that guys sometimes need to go into 'cave mode' to sort stuff out, but how long does that usually last? does it depend on how much is going on? what kinds of things would cause some of you to blow someone off like that? I've got my own theories, but just looking for some other thoughts too.Attention guys: What would cause a 180 degree personality change?
does he have some new friends or a gf? they might have told him he couldnt talk to u anymore and he listenedAttention guys: What would cause a 180 degree personality change?
has he started seeing someone recently?

Has he started to hang out with a different group of people?

if the answer to the first question is yes, then it's because she told him to lose you.

if the answer to the second question is yes, then it could be drugs.

You know him so if you have your own theories then you probably already know the truth.

Chicks dig me now.Is it possible to change ur personality ?
i wanna know too!

i thought i was the only one...

good luck with that.
Have ';Determination';, ';faith'; and ';confidence'; in yourself and what you are doing ( the change in your personality )

And yeah it is possible to change one's personality....ofcourse !

Try Try Try but never Cry.

Believe me ... changing your personalities takes many days and hard work. I am telling you all this because it is my personal experience... Even i changed my personality from being a shy girl to a confident and friendly one !

Changing your personality might take months and a lot of dedication but if you keep on trying and not lose hope, I'm sure you will succeed...I mean this.

All the very best !
u should have lots of confidence , good self -esteem be polite i learn from a previous relationship i wasn't going to put up with my ex boyfriend 's weird ways ( now he looks goth and i am not goth) so i learned myself to have confidence and good self -esteem and the path will lead u just like it did to me peace!
It's possible but it's not easy. I used to yell a lot. I grew up with my mother yelling a lot. One day I was yelling and I saw my young son actually flinch. I realized what it was doing to him and I remembered how it felt when my mom yelled. I immediately sat my son down and apologized and told him I would try to change, but that I would probably screw up sometimes and he would have to be patient with me. I asked for his forgiveness. And now he can't remember that I used to yell. We have a great relationship. He tells me everything about his life and we are the best of friends. That would not have been possible with the way I used to be. My entire life has changed and everyone says I seem happier and easier to talk to. I love it. You just have to make a conscious choice and find out what is holding you back. If it's the places you go, stop going there. If it's the people you hang out with, stop hanging out with them. Make some changes.
