  • You can't change anyone that doesn't want to change. The best thing is to be a good example. If and when they ask you for help you can guide them in finding help in books or counseling.
  • Don't associate with them anymore until they change their behavior. Once they realize taht their behavior is running all their friends away, they're likely to try and make a change or at least realize the error of their ways.
  • I don't think you can make anyone realize or stop - but you can stay away from them
  • Find out where all this hostility and spoiled tantrums stem from and see if you can help alitlle, but don't try TOO hard, it's not your problem.
  • Good Luck with that I being a naturally optimistic person married a VERY pessimistic person 14 Years together He doesn't stop Always finds fault always see the worst in everyone and everything. You can't make them realize no matter how many times you tell them They already know this is how they are and by telling them you are only doing what they do Belittling (sp) So pray if you pray and show them consistantly by example a more possitive way to think act and react and hopefully your example may bring change in them Then again maybe not. I feel for you Its not easy to live with someone like this.
  • They are too self-opinionated to change. I don't think they can ever change.
  • You haven't provided enough information to form a proper assessment. It's possible that you're talking about your parents and trying to find excuses not to listen to them by painting them in a bad light for all we know.
