People *can* change. They just can't usually do it by force of will. If you want to be a very different person, you'll probably have to put yourself in a very different environment under very different incentives/constraints & you'll probably have to burn your ships behind you.

I'm stuck and halfway through this ordeal called an engineering degree. Haven't paid attention to the light of day or human warmth in years. Pretty miserable but can't exactly move somewhere new now can I? One's got to serve the rest of his current sentence or contract first.

Depends; I dropped out of college one semester short of earning my degree & it was one of the best decisions I ever made

In general, people don't *change* instead they grow ( developmentally progress hopefully). What you're describing sounds a lot like what is termed a "geographic cure" which may be useful during some phases of addiction but otherwise doesn't work very well.

I’ve been thinking about this thread a lot. This is why I’m moving to SF. When I was there I was so much happier with the person I was. I was constantly learning or working, and it was so fun. I’d find myself naturally drawn to different things (like reading books>twitter)
