I made the poll mainly cause I don’t agree when someone says that people don’t change.
Like “once a cheater always a cheater”

I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. Some people dont change in certain regards
I dont think its cut and dry like “once a cheater always a cheater”
If someones cheated a lot i probably wouldnt date them so easily
But Certainty if someone is a drunken cheater and starts attending 12 step meetings i think they could definitely change. or for other reasons too.
thanks for explaining the poll now it makes sense 
I think people change. I don’t know where people get the idea that people don’t change. Maybe pop culture?

I changed for the worse when I got sick in August 2013. The next ten years were living hell for me. This year has been mostly tolerable though. Not sure what changed but I feel pretty ok now.

People change sometimes for a short while only to get what they want. These are the leopards who can’t change their spots.
Some people change for the better lifelong.
Others can’t change at all, they’re just hardwired to be otherwise.

I like @Wave 's answer. For better or for worse.
Ultimately what depends, is metanoia. Do people “need” to change? Do they “want” to change? Why? Why not? Can they reflect honestly and brutally?
I know many who changed completely, into total saints, others into total wronguns. Yet I know many who have always been wronguns and remain so to date, and likewise with some good people who have never changed.

I have observed people in my family and friends and people I know change. Some people mature early in their twenties, some people are 50 years old when they start to change. Some never do, I guess.

If they want they can change
I don’t think people change.
I think all that changes is a person’s ability or opportunity to carry out stuff (good deeds or bad deeds).
Deep down, people stay the same.

I don’t know. Some ppl I find it hard to imagine changing.
The base core of a person doesn’t really change, but their behavior can change drastically for better or worse over time
For example: a person who likes being in control will always like being in control. Over time they might start acting controlling towards others. Or they might turn it inwards and develop great control of self.
