Personality is nothing but all the aspects within yourself that makes you who you are and also distinguishes you from others.

But in reality one cannot change the personality. Only one can control or modulate personality aspects. And that can be visible through overt behavior.
However, one can definitely develop or restructure ones personality.
But how?

- Next choose few aspects of your personality that you want to restructure
- Go for it and check the efficacy of the change
The process should be a practice and one at a time.
Few ways by which you can start:
- “Read and write” and most important “listen”
- Interact with people to see heterogeneity among people
- Have a look on your body gestures/body language
- If you wish you can go for grooming yourself (dressing or a makeover)
- Also, Consult a psychologist who can assess and can guide you
Just remember don’t force yourself, the process should be organic not something you are doing just for the sake of getting yourself better. Also it takes time and you should give that time.
