Just now, I was stumped by Voice's question: Why don't you change yourself from within?

I don't quite get the question at first. But after some thoughts, I roughly get the idea. All these while, despite the fact that I am constantly changing ( might be something to do with the persona(s) ), the changes were all considered as minor or insignificant.

All I know about myself will be:
1) I am not interested in widening my social circle unless necessary
2) My mood and attitude changes according to my surrounding ( e.g. friends around me )
3) I do not give out too much personal information to my friends
4) I am alright with being alone or with friends
5) I will not go out with friends unless there is a purpose to it

Quote: It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change –Charles Darwin ( 1809-1882 )

Yet there is also another saying: Do not change yourself for others. Just be yourself.

So, is it really necessary for me to initiate a major upgrade? Do I have to change myself for myself? Will it benefit me in the long run? Of course, I do know that a thing comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. But, will without sacrifices, there can be no gain. Will I lose any of my precious things?

More importantly, can I really change myself? Won’t I need something strong enough to change me? Can I bring myself to change myself?
There are so many things to take into consideration, so I shall postpone this decision to the last in my to-do list. This is one tough nut to crack. Nice one, Voice.
