Some people hate change because they feel safe when things are the same. It's like having a favorite blanket, you know it feels good, and changing to a new one might not feel as comfortable. When something changes, it can make them feel uncertain or even scared. This is called fear of the unknown. Change means learning new things, which can be fun but also a little bit hard.
Examples
- A child is happy with their favorite toy but gets scared when it's replaced with something new.
- An adult refuses to switch jobs even though the new one pays more.
- A student avoids trying a new subject because they’re used to doing well in math.
