Do people really change or just pretend to ?

Do you believe people can actually change — or do they just get better at masking who they really are?

For me, this question always hits deep. I’ve seen people grow and evolve for the better but I’ve also seen others claim they’ve changed, only to fall right back into their old ways.

You can’t force change on someone who doesn’t truly want it. People can only hold up a mask for so long before it slips — their real self ALWAYS finds its way through.

What about you? Do you think people can change, or just hide better? 👀

Heyy girl! I completely agree with your statement as to people having to change on their own terms. For me it’s an energy thing, that discernment will not steer you in the wrong direction.

I think changing is faking until you make it. It depends on how strong you are mentally to keep up with the process of change. Many people are weak minded and revert back after a while.
