I’m not keen on change myself. I’m the type of person who feels that moving home after 15 years in the same property is a move too often. We don’t like uncertainty, changes in routine, things we don’t know – just human nature.

In reply to Daisy. Keeping my fingers crossed, that's the only thing I can do ;-)

I am naturally really bad at dealing with change, which is why I work in a fast-paced environment. This forces me to confront my fears head-on and I definitely deal better with change in my personal life now because of the various coping/managing tactics I have come up with at work to lessen the burden of constant change.

I may be the only one, but I actually am really fond of the “new Gmail” and it didn’t take me very long.

The real problem with technological change: increased tech support calls from my parents.

Okay – I agree with you on a lot of levels (almost all) but I do think there is such a thing as too much change.

I know, I sound like such an old lady, but here it is:

Facebook changes too much for me. I can’t handle it.

I didn’t get angry/upset about Gmail (or Google Analytics, or the Privacy Policy) or Twitter. (Sometimes the Gmail is pretty annoying – I can’t see my folders as well anymore, because they’re obstructed by Google Chat, and I’m not even that PO-ed.) I’m generally a pretty open person. Even if I don’t understand why someone wants to do something different, I listen and ask questions and try to hear them out. At work, I’m like the “Change Agent”. I walk in, and people go: “Oooh, there’s that young girl. Making so many changes.” But – even for me – Facebook changes too much.

As for habits, I do think there are reasons people have them. There was an article in the NYTimes recently on Decision Fatigue. Sometimes, having habits is smart:

Wow, and that’s a HUGE change! Well, good for you for embracing it! Maybe there is a lot of opportunity in Chile just waiting for you!
