This isn’t meant to be a negative post. I wanted to tweak how I handle some things and have gotten better but I it made me think.

Could you turn someone 360 completely? Like from a freak to a mighty, a chad to a chud, a person to a stealers fan?

It's possible to change your personality. Most people have several. You probably don't act the same way towards your best friend as you do towards your boss or towards a random stranger. Sales people change their personalities to match the person they're trying to sell to.

If you're talking about changing lifestyles and habits, that's absolutely possible too. It just takes a lot of determination and repetition.

It's even possible to turn 360 degrees and walk in a different direction (as long as it's a moon walk)

Dated a salesman, can confirm. They're crazy.
