As we go through life and encounter different experiences, one thing that we learn for sure is that sometimes people can't be changed. Granted, it is always possible to turn people completely around and bring them from such a low point in their lives to a steady and stable one. There is no greater accomplishment than this and we'll come to think of ourselves as heroes for making a difference in someone else's life.

However, we tend to think that this is possible for everyone. From my own experiences, I have learned that some people can't be changed because they will always resort to the behavior and actions that they have grown up with and are so used to. When you care about the person, it makes it even harder. You want to help the person so badly that you end up losing yourself and your own happiness. People can't change unless they want to be changed. If they don't understand or see anything wrong with their actions then there is nothing that you can really do. You can keep trying to show them the right way but there comes a point where you need to accept that they aren't getting the message. There comes a point where you realize that all the talks that you have had with these kind of people is like talking to a wall. They are not listening to anything that you are saying and only make their own interpretations of what you say in order to try to prove themselves right from their own twisted and manipulative mindset.

Looking back on my experiences and friendships, I can see myself targeting one person in particular who has really made me learn this. As I am writing this article, I find myself thinking of past friendships as well that didn't make it to today. The majority of the time these people do not realize that what they are doing is wrong. They either refuse to see it or still do not understand the effects that they are bringing on other people. I wish these people nothing but the best and that they will one day realize and become a better person based on it.

If there is anything that you can change, it is yourself. It is important that you learn from your friendships and experiences so that you can change into a better and stronger person. We are all bound to make mistakes and not make the best choices as we go through life but it is important that we continue to learn from them. If your friends are trying to tell you something about yourself that is concerning, listen to them. Surround yourself with people who you know support you and want the best for you. It is important that you do not stress about the things that you can't change but focus on the things that you can change, starting with yourself.
