Resisting change

Lifestyle Relationships

Is it normal to resist any type of a change in your life? Whether it’s something that can totally change my life or something really tiny, it affects me a lot. Why can’t things and people just stay put? Why do people have to grow up, get married, or move away? Why can’t times that you really enjoy, last? Why do they become mere memories? :frowning:

Two of my really good friends from work have left. One moved to Vancouver and the other one is leaving today on her mat leave. We hired two new people to replace them, and I’m hating not seeing my friends there. I know I should be welcoming and all…but sigh.

That was just one example of ‘change’ I hate. I could probably list a million other things. Is this normal?

How do you guys handle changes in life?

I welcome change, you learn new things and develop urself as a person, if everything always stayed the same ud get bored. I guess it does take time to get used to but change is good.

3

Depends on your personality. Some people find life boring without changes and try to make changes to have an exciting life. Some people find it un acceptable or very difficult to go through change. Well....... but some changes are a part of everyone's life so you should be ready for any. My life............. has always been about changes so...... I feel bored when one doesnt happen in a while.

I come across a lot of people who are reluctant to embrace the new technology because it takes them out of their comfort zone. Your chances of finding new people and exploring new ideas are higher if your personality leans towards embracing change. Fear of change is quite common & natural and it doesn’t need therapy..you can send the shrink’s fee to me. :mocking:

I never expect things to stay the same...and when everything is stable, happy and peaceful I always expect a storm..and yeah it usually arrives...but I'm prepared..

6

Yeah, I know change is healthy. Sometimes I get bored of things too and want a change. But when it actually comes to it, I realize I don’t want it.

So how exactly do you teach yourself to accept changes as they come?

Fayz, if it doesn’t require any therapy, what fee are you asking for? :hoonh:

Anticipate changes.

depending upon changes, not very good.. as khawa said life's a bitch, thats what happens, one moment you are all comfy, cosy, and settled down among a nice patterned life, and a big wave comes in, and disrupts it all.. sure they are good changes too .. but i normally have trouble accepting them :-)
