If you have ever experienced how it feels that someone’s (your mum, dad, your teachers, your spouse, your friend etc.) tried to change you, you know that it usually just brings you down and makes you feel not good enough. If you’re trying to change your partner, they’re going to experience the same, and they’ll not take it kindly, just as you didn’t. They may start to feel bad about themselves and resentful towards you who’s trying to change them which can make your relationship slowly break down.
Also, we all know that people generally don’t like change, and to change, so you’re better off changing yourself, or at least your way of looking at others, so you wouldn’t feel the need to change them. There’s always a solution and there’s always another point of view! Is he/she driving you crazy with squeezing the toothpaste tube the wrong way? Well, think again. Is your way the good way and theirs the wrong, or is it the other way around? Is there a good or bad way at all? Do you think this is a major issue and they need to change? Just buy another tube – problem solved!!
