The root cause of inability to change is insufficient pain.

Because the pain isn't severe enough, there's no desire to cure it fundamentally, no willingness to think deeply and gain insight, no awareness of what the real problem actually is.

Instead, people just want to take mild painkillers repeatedly, or use mental drugs to numb themselves and temporarily relieve the pain.

They don't dare face the truth, afraid it will hurt too much. In reality, once you look at it, the truth might just be a paper tiger—one poke and it breaks. Not daring to face it is you imagining it to be too frightening.

People like this often crave miracle cures, hoping for instant results. These are exactly the kind of people that scammers love most, because only scammers can meet their needs.
