coming around

Gradually accepting it

Coming around describes a change toward a new position or state.

Someone who is coming around is beginning to accept an idea they previously resisted: She was skeptical at first, but she's coming around.

It can also mean regaining consciousness: He fainted but came around after a few minutes.

To come around somewhere is to visit: Come around anytime.
