> you need accept they won't change, because personality doesn't change

I don’t think that is true. I know from myself and many of my friends or family that personalities can change, at times quite dramatically. Sometimes for “good” other times not so much.

The generally accepted view in psychology is that personality does not change over time. That is partly how it is defined. It's the part of us that doesn't change in adulthood. Yes, people can change their behaviour. But those changes are not occurring at the personality level.
