Your Type
When change happens, your first reaction is often to retreat and resist, needing a long time to mourn the loss of familiarity. This "deep attachment to the past" actually masks your extreme lack of confidence in your "own abilities and adaptability"; you fear you can't handle new challenges and that the new life will prove you're not good enough, so you use "immersing in grief" as a legitimate excuse not to move forward. But mourning for too long makes you miss the sunshine right in front of you. Try saying to yourself, "I might not be ready yet, but I'm willing to take one small step" next time you feel resistance; when you learn to trust your resilience, change will no longer be a terrifying monster.
💡 Did you know?
Resistance to change usually stems from fear of losing current stability, not rejection of novelty itself — knowing this helps face the real fear.
