With therapy, client can learn to deal with their unhelpful behaviours in order to lead a life that is well adjusted.
The primary focus is the journey of learning and unlearning, not a goal of perfect behaviour.
Kindly consider booking a session with a psychologist.

Greetings
Personality is defination of how the particular person is in their life. We can definitely modify some behavioural patterns as mentioned earlier with intervention like Dialectical behavioural therapy but it isn't something to be thought as disease to cure. A high motivation required by client to bring a change in them
Thank you
