Any person has his own specific character traits, which begin to form from birth. In an adult, the character has already been formed, so it will be extremely difficult to change it.
Character formation process
According to psychologists, a person's character is an individual set of personal properties that determine a person's attitude to everything around him and are manifested in the actions he performs.
The most basic, basic character traits are laid in early childhood, it can be confidently asserted that already at the age of 5-6 the child has a sufficiently developed character. Already in the second year of life, a boy or girl demonstrates strong-willed qualities to adults, and by 3-4 years of age, a child has already formed business qualities.
All signs of communicative tendencies appear at the age of 4-5 years, when the child begins to actively participate in role-playing games in a group of other children.
While studying at school, the process of character formation continues, but if parents and teachers have the maximum influence on the pupil of the lower grades, then starting from the middle grades the child listens more and more to the opinions of his peers, but in the senior grades the assessments and recommendations of adults again become important.
During this age period, the media also significantly influences the young person.
In the future, the character will change somewhat on the basis of personal meetings, relationships with other people; at an older age, some personality traits change again, but for different reasons.
At 50, a person finds himself as if on the border between the past and the future, he no longer builds grandiose plans for his future life, but it is too early to completely immerse himself in memories. After 60 years, a person is already clearly aware of the full value of both the past and the present, he has a leisurely and measured reasoning and actions, even if such qualities were not inherent before.
Can an adult change his character?
After reaching thirty, dramatic changes in character are extremely rare, but nevertheless, it is never too late to change oneself. A person at any time in his life can influence those traits of his character that he does not like, there are many methods for this, but the main thing is that the decision to change must be voluntary and conscious.
In such a situation, a systematic approach will help a lot. On a separate piece of paper, you need to write out those character traits that cause irritation, and opposite each write in what exactly they are manifested. Having weighed everything written, it will be much easier for a person to control himself and prevent further unwanted actions on his part.
The process of character formation is long, complex, and it will not be easy to get rid of unpleasant traits, but it is still possible, and the person will feel especially uncomfortable during the first week after making a decision. When control over undesirable character traits becomes a habit, it will be much easier to monitor your behavior, and the person himself will not notice how his life and the life of his loved ones will change for the better.
