Don't hate the player, change the game... Whoever dished out that chaotic advice must surely be playing some mind games of their own. If you've ever tried to change someone you're dating, you might have found that often, it's less like a quick penalty shot, and more like a long, exhausting and painful boxing match where you're the one on the receiving end of most of the blows - before finally getting knocked out, or tapping out.
For every woman who ever uttered the words, "I can change him" is a guy laughing loudly while digging his heels firmly into the ground. A new viral TikTok challenge has people sharing their "then and now" photos, showing exactly what happened when they finally saw the light, surrendered, and focused on themselves instead.
Bored Panda has put together some of the best posts from the trend for you to scroll through should you ever need a reminder that sometimes quitting does pay off. Many of these pics prove that often, the real transformation happens the moment you stop trying to save someone who couldn't be bothered to save themselves.
