My personality is rapidly changing

[(Fallen)]

Puberty...Same here

A rapidly changing personality could be an identity crCIA my friend.  That is very common when going through puberty, and perhaps a shift into high school.  You may feel like you are taking on more responsibility and more of a role in your world, but realistically don't sweat it.

Let's say tomorrow I got struck by lightning and died.

What impact did I have?  None.  World keeps spinning, sun keeps shining.

I'd say you had a ton of impact, but if you want to be depressing, go ahead.

Changing how we think and changing our personalities are unrelated, don't make up a connection just to suit your argument.

You're saying that our personalities aren't related to how we think?

That is the stupidest thing I have heard come from you yet. Our personality is DIRECTLY tied to how we think. That's what defines our personality.

Dude, I am now happy as a pig in stuff.

Seriously, when you don't give a forget, what is going to make you feel bad?

So yeah, I assumed correctly in saying a shift to High School

No, what we think is defined by our personality, not the other way around. The personality is the base of who we are, it doesn't casually change every day.

Our personality does change from day to day; more than that it's an event by event basis. We're constantly being exposed to new situations and thoughts, which cultures us. Being cultured  to these situations changes our personality. Yes, these changes would be marginal at best, but it's a change. There's never a constant personality; that's too rigid for how the brain needs to function.

As for

No, what we think is defined by our personality, not the other way around.

If this were true, cognitive behavioral therapy wouldn't work. It relies on the exact principle that what we think [is one of the factors that] governs our personality.

The idea of a rigid (non day to day) personality also doesn't fit with contemporary developmental psychology. That's not to say that our personality doesn't affect how we think; I'm just noting that it works both ways.

Or late puberty?

[Alpha Command]

I'm sorta like this. Although sometimes when I see little kids I just want to punch them, pick them up, swing them around and throw them into a tree, crushing their skull.
Of course, after I think that, I think forget, what am I thinking?!

[Sheath]

Yes, these changes would be marginal at best, but it's a change.

Thank you.
That statement suggests that marginal changes are not those which could be as significant and instant as what the OP has described.

So what exactly are you arguing ßoltster? If our personality can't be changed noticeably by anything, why are you caught up in proving a point about the Internet when its clearly not the factor influencing him?
