Are you good at adapting to Changes or do you prefer things to stay the same?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

I'm generally not fond of change. I can certainly adapt, but sometimes I resent it.

When I was little, for example, I used to build dioramas on my bedroom carpet with dinosaurs, rocks and fake trees. I would fuss to position everything perfectly. At that point, I wanted it to remain permanent and was unhappy when I had to clean it up.
So, even at that age, I liked certain things to remain static once I had them the way I wanted them.

I'm the same way with my house. My wife and I have done lots of things to it. I LOVE the improvements. But, once I'm happy with what we have done, I am content and want it to remain that way.

At work, I loved having my job so wired that I could do it perfectly while sleep walking. I hated it when new changes were handed down from above. But I adapted. Some of the changes wound up being improvements and, once I got used to them, I was happy again.

Built-in changes like "upgrades" in electronic devices piss me off. I am perfectly happy with an old cell phone, computer or TV, and only upgrade when mine becomes inoperative.

I resist buying the "latest" shit.

I'm good enough yes... just because life has made me become good at it

and I'd say that I'm much better at adjusting than adapting to the bigger changes

second ones being much more difficult and life altering, especially if they come with negative impacts, the struggle can get very real... (knocking on wood)

while I've experienced a few, I've not experienced all that's for sure, so I guess we'll see how it goes, one by one... but I rather go with adjusting, or the smaller changes because that gives me a better feel of certainty

BlueScorpio · Accepted Answer

It takes me a while to adjust to big changes. The reason I haven't looked for a new job is cause it's pretty big change and I need to make sure it will pay enough to support me and the baby. Plus I'm terrible with interviews.

DesiUwU · Accepted Answer

too good, sadly. due to a past of being moved around and ripped away, yeah, i'm pretty good with change. I don't always like it tho

melanieeeB · Answer

I'm really good with changes happening

FunkyMonkee · Answer

It's a mixed bag. I like things to stay the same but also like some things that change.
Like, with Christmas decorations, I like the ones I grew up with and don't care if a lot of them are over 100 years old! I MUCH prefer them to the new ones mom started to use exclusively about 35 years ago. I like the older coloured lights rather than those tiny all whit lights mom always used. I much prefer dad's old American Flyer train set than those tiny new ones they've got, now.
But, I kinda like that music changes... except when it changes for the worse, like the disco era and rap and the shit that, SOME HOW, passes for music, today! I've always been open to various types of music and my record collection spans the last 120-some years but I can NOT STAND disco and rap (someone left the C off of THAT word), or the pop princess garbage of today!!

ohsheeT · Answer

Well I look at it like this from the day that I started walking to this day I've had to adapt no matter what Everything Changes and if you're not willing to change with it you get left behind in a around about way no matter what we do no matter what we experience we are made to adapt it might be in short little intervals it might be a heartbreak it might be a loss but we learn to adapt and keep going just like the first day we started walking and we fell down we got right back up and we did it again we experienced it over and over until we got it right we adapted to balance ourselves and from there we moved on to running we just keep going forward

SnowedIn · Answer

Sometimes. Most of the time. Or, actually, yes... but I'm not always the fastest. Need to understand and process. But, once I understand it, I'll adapt and I'll be your loudest change advocate. But, communicate with me please, preferably in advance. As a dear, dear friend used to say to our boss: if you want me onboard for the crash, you better have me onboard for takeoff.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

Somewhat good at adapting. Some change is welcome, for me. Big changes can be difficult though. For example, I had to move for my job a long time ago, after being settled in the city where I live. It was a major life event to have to pick up and move when it really wasn't my idea to begin with.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

An inspirational music to answer the sponge's question, well tbh i adapt to a lot of changes but some changes are too harsh to adapt on or nearly impossible to adapt to, especially when these changes happens so fast and all at the same time or the one following the other...

I think it depends in the situation really, either I have to adapt to a change or if I don't find that a change it's necessary, then I stay the same...

I dislike change immensely, and that may be partly attributed to moving around a lot as a kid because of the bad rental market in Australia.

Depends on the change, but I really like learning new stuff, I see it as a challenge. Change is very welcome to me.

Guido · Answer

There are always changes in life so it's best to get on the wheel of change and go with it. Too many people hate change and fight it. Wastes energy because change will happen even if you don't want it to.

Change is inevitable, and I learned this long ago so yes, I'm good at adapting to it. Some things don't really "need" to change though, so when they don't, I hold on to them.

The only constant is change... as you sit still watching things and people change, you will seem to be moving backwards to those progressing.

I'm very good at adapting to change. My entire life has been chaos so I've learned how to adapt. However, my preference is for things to remain steady and stable.

If it's not a change I made myself I might struggle.

24_7_Amazing · Answer

Ever since I was a kid I've had a hard time adapting to change.

AndrésC64 · Answer

As much as anyone says they like changes, they don't. People are very much creatures of habit. Just think about your day. I'd be willing to bet that from day to day is virtually identical. People don't like change.

I am slow to change. Mainly because I usually need to evaluate if the changes are better than the old ways!

That depends what kind of changes. For example, if you try to take away my Mexican Pizza, then no, I don't like that.
