    In order to change your personality (how you think, how you act, and how you feel), you will need to do a LOT of inner work. A lot of reprogramming and rewiring old stagnant circuits and old thought patterns. In order to change, you need to be greater than your environment. It’s a long road but totally worth it.

    Personality is mostly stable, but there is scope of variance and in this scope lies the potential to change. Proof, if you assess a person at one point of time and assess the same person a few years alter, you will find similarities and also differences. Harness these differences. Also note that it takes time to achieve meaningful change.
    A good starting point is to assess yourself and identify your personality traits honestly, or to get a friend or a professional to do it for you, then identify the socio-economic-political niches where someone with your personality traits can thrive. Try to fit yourself in such a setting.
    Take 2 hours to write your vision for the best possible version of yourself in 5 years time. Write about your friendships, your job, your status in society, your health, your intimate relationships, your place in your family. Write which personality traits can get you there.
    Take 2 more hours to write about the worst possible version of yourself in 5 years time. Write about which of your personality traits can get you fired, dumped, imprisoned, made homeless, shunned by society, disowned by your family. Write honestly about which personality traits can land you in that awful place.
    The second part is to help you with the first part. Because when you are running towards something, it is also helpful to run away form something.

With a number of tests available in the internet you may figer out what to do with your life professionally, at least where not to go. It is very valuable to be informed so that one can hope for better fate in his work life. I am a univesity teacher and saw students who did bad choises without considering their personality traits.

    This is all true. I have chosen to 'reinvent myself' (change my personality) twice in order to be more suitable as a business person (fit the mould of a manager and organisational representative). Do NOT underestimate the trauma this will cause you. There is a huge difference between simply being mindful to act appropriately in a given situation, verses changing your personality forever, through deliberate reprogramming of your thinking and internal motivators, such that you will autonomously think and react in the desired manner. I have been successful at changing my personality twice and I would NOT recommend it to anyone.

      @davidburke2007 Před 3 lety +22

      @@charleszhuang6283 You must be an introspective thinker, somewhat creative, and motivated by necessity in order to see this process through to a beneficial outcome. Firstly, identify the automatic behaviours that you need to alter and conceptualise what the ideal alternative behaviours must be. This is the normal process for goal setting and success visualisation that most people are familiar with. Secondly, think introspectively about what it is that triggers the negative behaviours. Once you have isolated the key drivers of the undesirable behaviours you must assign negative associations to those triggers. This is where the pain begins. The association must be deeply rooted to your values and beliefs in order to be powerful enough to alter automatic behaviours to internal or external triggers. That means linking a negative association to the trigger with at least two senses, such as smell and sight, and your primary emotional drivers. For example, I was intrinsically motivated and highly assertive. You might think that they are good personality traits for business people. However, feedback from my colleagues suggested that I came across as aggressive, and my superiors told me I was too passionate about the business. After deep consideration I realised moderation, patience, and respect are important virtues that I possessed but my extreme assertiveness and selfless crusades were obscuring those traits. So, after further consideration I identified that the root cause of my assertiveness and passion to do well was an overdeveloped positive association with alpha males. To make a very long story short, I deliberately exposed myself to unpleasant smells and recalled periods of deep grief and loss every time I recognised a trigger. Because you will not always recognise the triggers, you must affirm that the negative association causes an impact to something you love. That will amplify the effect of the smells, physical, or emotional pain associations and slowly create a subconscious fear/awareness of the triggers. For me it was easy, because my partner very quickly noticed the negative state of mind I was regularly in and it affected our relationship. This state must persist for at least a year or more. You may experience deep anxiety and depression during this period. When you begin to experience bad smells and negative emotions upon exposure to the triggers it means you have been successful. You will actively seek to avoid and disassociate with the triggers at this point. I personally noticed my physique had lost form and I was no longer interested in many of the things that previously defined me. There are many side effects of this process that you should not underestimate but I am now considered to be a changed man at work and I can honestly say that it has opened many doors.

    For what it's worth, here's a quick thought. Personality traits aren't particularly malleable, although you can learn insight and actively suppress or increase specific attributes. Also, while accumulating wisdom, you can better reflect on your beliefs and ideals and form a more accurate picture of yourself, after which you can retake the personality test for a potentially more factual representation.

Change it by daily effort, like you do with your body when going to the gym by lifting weights.

      @Nathaniel Birthurth Any idea how that song and Mesopotamian mythology could be related? Try this, they aren't, and the song has no relation to the divine. Try Jordan's video's when he starts in on malevolence. That's why he's always trying to get people to stand for themselves because the heavens are no longer benign rather they have become occupied by the malevolent humanity. Being tough is the way to go otherwise you'll get killed. Mind you this is an age of a killer scenario so getting killed may not be the worst thing that could happen and that's another Jordanism.

And I think that AI will bring a lot of good things, but "skynet" and "big brother"? I don't want to have anything to do with it. On the other hand, I wasn't doing too well, I was not motivated, I was dealing with personal issues and that dystopian fear didn't occupy even 10% of my reasons for bailing on the course. So, yeah, just sharing a testimony. I wouldn't say it was decisive, but it weighted at least on my rationalizations for abandoning and being unmotivated.

    The problem with this sort of thinking is it’s just that. It’s like the fat guy that is in the habit of over eating junk and not exercising. He can envision all the goals he wants 5 years out. But unless he takes the action of eating better and exercising he isn’t going to change one bit. Change requires action. This is why therapy doesn’t work. It’s just talking and imagination. You can deep think all you want if you’re fat you can’t think your way into losing weight. You have to act your way. Even if your thinking is negative you will still lose weight if you get on the treadmill every day and eat better. Getting on the treadmill and eating better are actions. It’s the actions that produce the change. The thinking about it is going to produce 0% of the change. So if you have something you want to change, what are the actions you plan on taking that will produce that change? This is the only thinking that is required. Developing your plan of action. Then taking the action.

    It seems to me, that if our personality is NOT changing, we are not learning anything new. Example as follows.
    From the book ... From Apostle to Apostate: The Story of the Clergy Project … authors … Catherine Dunphy, Richard Dawkins
    Welcome to the Clergy Project. It is hard to think of any other profession, which is so near to impossible to leave. If a farmer tires of the outdoor life and wants to become an accountant or a teacher or a shopkeeper, he faces difficulties, to be sure. He must learn new skills, raise money, and move to another area perhaps. But he does not risk losing all his friends, being cast out by his family, being ostracized by his whole community. Clergy who lose their faith suffer double jeopardy. It is as though they lose their job and their marriage and their children on the same day. It is an aspect of the vicious intolerance of religion that a mere change of mind can redound so cruelly on those honest enough to acknowledge it.
    The Clergy Project exists to provide a safe haven, a forum where clergy who have lost their faith can meet each other, exchange views, swap problems, counsel each other-for, whatever they may have lost, clergy know how to counsel and comfort. Here you will find confidentiality, sympathy, and a friendly place where you can take your time before deciding how to extricate yourself and when you will feel yourself to stand up and face the cool, refreshing wind of truth.

    How could you want the fire of transfigurative enlightenment for yourself being that it is the most noble goal, (meaningful) also the most real, thus painful, and also the most complicated thing you can do. (But also dont make life as complicated as it needs to be. (Dont fix what isn't broken) and to make it worse there is no certainty that it isn't purely a will to a utopian standard thus the aim is perpetual futility.

      You can’t only do what you are best at. Life requires everyone to get better at things that they are bad at to succeed. Also, if we are to grow as people much of our personal transformation has to come from a personal death and rebirth of self. Descending into the underworld, by various means whether our own mistakes or circumstances out of our control, and then transforming ourselves in response is one of the key mechanisms through which we mature and grow. Part of this is also the archetype of dragon that must be slain in order to gain the treasure that he holds. Another way of looking at this is that what is holding you back from success probably isn’t found where you are already looking.

      And so it is. You said yourself that you have convinced yourself that you "can only be a looser forever 'trying' (aka not succeeding in your view) to be a 'good person' (Subjective value based on personal morels)". Such a commitment would absolutely cement that in your life.
      It IS rigged. You just rigged it. In order to get to the place you want to be personally you need a clear image of what it is you want from yourself.
      Note: None of that is reliant on how others respond to you and your actions. Only how you personally respond to the world and your position in it. If your self value is based on other peoples views and responses that is yet another way to "rig it" negatively.
      You got this bro! Keep on with your search. Put what you learn into action over time. Break and create new habits one at a time. It takes a couple weeks per habit. I dont know you personally but I KNOW you can get to the result you want if you can picture it clearly and walk towards it. Good luck and good skill!
