Do you handle change well?

It depends on what needs to be changed. If I am asked to change something in me that I have been doing all these years, it takes a lot of adjustments to do. But on the other hand, if I personally understand why the change needs to be done, then I'm quite apt for change. Yeah, most people are not into change. People detest changes. I think it's the fear of 'what will happen' that slows a person's ability to change. Thus, there are those who after a long while still could not adapt to change.

I'm envious that you can adapt to changing situations so easily! I don't deal well with change at all! I like things to stay as they are, and the slightest change with any situation stresses me out so much! Last year I moved away from home, and I know they say that moving out is one of the most stressful times you can go through, but it affected me so badly! I was moody and grumpy and snappy - and often, I would just fly off the handle and have to go for a walk or something (one time I stormed out of the house at 2am and went walking for miles in the rain!) I eventually settled, and it's fine now... The thing is I'm going to be moving again this Sunday, into a big city - and I'm used to life in the country. Lots of people and lots of noise really add to my stress levels, so I dread to think what I'm going to be like! I have no choice but to go there for work, and university - I've always said I'd never move to the city, but here I am! It's going to take months to get used to it, with lots of tears along the way! You are very lucky to be able to accept change, I wish I could be so easy going, but I just get so emotional about evrything! I remember when I was a kid, I got really upset because we changed our car, and another time because my parents were re-decorating... Unfortunately my boyfriend has a love of moving the furniture around... needless to say, this drives me crazy too!

I do deal with change well, because I'm disabled and I have to deal with change well (my PCA's change, my equipment changes, I move sometimes to get better services and have to leave my friends, family, and community support structures).

Yes, I handle change very well and can adapt easily. My biggest change period was almost 3 years ago. I got married, moved to a new country, quit my old job, got a new job, got a new house and got pregnant...all in the span of 3 months!!!! Talk about change!! But it all worked out well :) I still go through quite a few changes every now and then. It's partly due to my husband's job as a Marine. He's gone a lot for deployments, training, etc. So, there's always change in our family.

Change is very difficult to deal with. Especially when you are use to the way it was. Even a positive change that is wanted will take some getting use to. I struggle with some changes but everything has to change. We all change and the world changes. So knowing that, I try to just go with the flow.
