This isn’t meant to be a negative post. I wanted to tweak how I handle some things and have gotten better but I it made me think.

Could you turn someone 360 completely? Like from a freak to a mighty, a chad to a chud, a person to a stealers fan?

Anyone can change, but the first and hardest step is believing you can change.

Yes.

My ex was a chill stoner who got radicalized on the internet and became an abusive alcoholic raging racist, then got sober but is still an angry right wing asshole.

I was selfish/self-centered as fuck as a teenager and gained patience and perspective over time, I think most people do change in that way, become more aware of others, nicer. Not everyone, obviously. But most.

You probably already do, I know I'm not the same person I was years ago. I think it's a good thing to be conscious of your personality going forward. My take is, you are you, therefore whatever you do is something you would do. So do what you want, don't overthink it.

Not properly.

Many theories suggest people have their main personality but it's possible to mimic other ones in certain scenario.

If you want to go deeper search for Jung's cognitive functions, also MBTI is good as an initial approach on the theme ( also [email protected] ).
