So, have you ever noticed some people just up and change? Like, when I was younger I hated any form of affection, yet now I'll do anything for a hug. But that's not even it, I mean people who all of a sudden *finger-snap* just change completely. Namely speaking, in the forums you'll see someone and talk to them and then as time progresses they're just suddenly like.. a total prickster, or an idiot, or in many cases both. Why? I was just pretty much asking if you'd ever talked to someone either online or in real life who makes a sudden 360 degree turn and how the hell you're supposed to deal with said problem.

Firstly, I hope you aren't referring to me in any way lol. If you were, I hope my post in the other thread clears things up a little. Secondly, people usually don't just suddenly change. They are usually just acting, but slowly bend until they snap, and you see who they really are. This can of course work the other way. Something may cause someone to suddenly act in a way that is not who they really are. There is not a lot you can do about other people, just make sure you stay cool and have fun. And don't take anything too seriously. Only you can make the choice to be offended.

Sometimes people are just going through a rough time. I used to be pretty good friends with this girl but now I just feel like yelling at her all the time because she's always obsessed with some boy. (She was always like this, She's not the one that's changed.) I've always tried to cheer her up and be supportive of her, but now I've told her some of my problems and she doesn't wanna hear it. Before I wouldn't have minded and just though I was being pathetic, but now I feel really disappointed that she's not giving me any sympathy.

Actually, it's this dude I know in the chatterbox, though this whole business in the guild had me post it here since I fgured you guys would have a strong opinion on it.

I think people do change, and sometimes it can be sudden. I'll be the first to admit: I'm an example of that. In one day.
But, typically, no, it is more of a "I'm going to pretend until..." They break and can't put up with the pretending any more. I'm also an example of this one. For instance, there's this guy I happen to know likes me. I don't like him. At all. But, because I'm not typically abrasive enough to go right out and tell him to keep the hell away from me, I pretended to be friendly with him for a while. Then I found out from his friend that he was intending on asking me out. (I have a rather useful network of informants around the school.) Now, I don't talk to him at all. He's rather confused about it, but he deserves it, in my opinion. I made it clear on more than one occasion that I liked another guy.
Religion can have a huge effect on people, too. A girl became a Christian, and her whole outlook on life change. She hated me, than all of a sudden wanted to be forgiven for what she'd done. It was kinda weird...
What I guess I'm saying is, give this person the benefit of the doubt. Something life-changing could have happened, and how are you to know?

Though it was pretty gradual in my case.. thing is, he was still decently nice to me, but I wasn't okay with his actions towards others.. Life's a b***h when you give a damn.
