It seems that the word “personality” is nuanced and suggests being unchangeable.
But if we’re talking about a view of the world, well, then, that should be possible to alter.
YOUTH: Hmm. This is kind of confusing. When you speak of a lifestyle, do you mean a way of living?
PHILOSOPHER: Yes, you could put it that way. To be a little more accurate, it is the way one’s life should be.
You probably think of disposition or personality as something with which you are endowed, without any connection to your will.
In Adlerian psychology, however, lifestyle is thought of as something that you choose for yourself.
YOUTH: That you choose for yourself? PHILOSOPHER: Yes, exactly. You choose your lifestyle.
YOUTH: So not only did I choose to be unhappy, but I even went so far as to choose this warped personality, too?
PHILOSOPHER: Absolutely. YOUTH: Ha! Now you’re really pushing it. When I became aware, I already had this personality.
I certainly don’t have any recollection of having chosen it. But it’s the same for you, isn’t it?
Being able to choose one’s own personality at will... Now that sounds like you’re talking about robots, not people.
PHILOSOPHER: Of course, you did not consciously choose “this kind of self.”
