If the subject does not desire the change or is indifferent to it, the change will not take effect. However, if the subject does desire the change, they can simply make the change themselves without the help of hypnosis. In that case, hypnosis is either needless or useless. One could state that it is a complete waste of time. Also, it seems to imply that the subject is too mentally weak to effect personal change by themselves.
People can become obsessed, a basic concept or way of thinking takes over the subconscious. I know a guy who used to be in the army and every other sentence he says includes some reference to the army or the war he fought in, even if it has nothing to do with what we're talking about. That guy's subconscious is still in the army.
If you're happy with your subconscious, then you may not notice this drip feed into your day to day thoughts... and that's probably a good thing. But I reckon most people collect some unwanted baggage as they go through life. For that reason, since you asked the question, I suspect that you are a young person... 20 years old maybe? Anyway, not my business.

Actually, now that you mention it, have you ever been on Cracked? I read an article titled "6 Harsh Truths That Will Make You A Better Person" in 2013. I became suicidally depressed because I wasn't doing things like the article said (also because of some college-related stuff, irrelevant though). I started to figure, "If you aren't following the article's advice and actually DOING THINGS, you might as well either be dead or a slave to someone else who WILL control your life, because YOU AREN'T! You're just wasting your existence, you parasite! You have no marketable skills and no accomplishments! You're nothing! THIS IS THE TRUTH! OBEY THE TRUTH!" I got a job in retail in September of that year, but still, I really should be doing more with my life. I shouldn't be playing video games or watching TV, and now I feel horrible when I do those two things. I used to draw, which I talked about in a previous topic (search for artist or draw), but I wasn't posting my stuff, so I figured "why bother?" However, a book on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy states that "achievement = worth" is a highly toxic and erroneous belief, and I'm not sure what to believe.
I want scorn, mockery, and/or contempt, if possible.
"achievement = worth"

Though her conscious mind seems to want to reach out and make a difference in her miserable little confused life (sounds harsh but she put herself there) but her subconscious trips her up and then kicks her when she's down. As far as her subconscious is concerned, that's what she deserves and how life is supposed to be.
