I mentioned this over on reddit when some blackpilled woman said 'you can't change your personality' but I've been trying to do just that. So far the progress was noticeable at first but I've hit some large systemic issues when trying to attack where I think I'll make the most head-way. So rather than get soft-locked, I think I'll just go back to the old incremental gains method of trimming back the edges.

So it is possible, but I've realized again that there are some very good reasons for having 'bad scores' in some of the big 5 traits. And it's not worth wrecking my life to correct all of them.

I often think about this. There are many things about myself I can change. Sometimes though it's like I'm on autopilot and while I can't stop it, I can see exactly how I'm acting.

I've had a number of head injuries and concussions. I also wonder if that has anything to do with it.

What are you trying to change about your personality?

For one, dangerously low enthusiasm.
