--- meeting new people, learning new rules, being in a new place, opening up to people, trying to build a relationship with them...
Making a decision is scary
--- things could not turn out, things may turn out but bring a whole lot more than expected, other changes could occur...
Going to a new place is scary
--- not knowing anyone, making new friends, getting a feel for the place, not having the familiar pathways and shops...
Finding a new house is scary
--- the move, the people, the place, the whole thing...
Starting a different path in life (e.g. uni) is scary
--- not knowing what to expect, learning the ropes of the place, not knowing if you are doing the right thing...
Meeting new people is scary
--- what will they think of me, what will I think of them, will we agree, will we have the same values, what if we don't get along...
Starting a new relationship is scary
--- will it work out, what if it doesn't, will either of us be scarred for life, will I learn something from this, will I trust again...
Change is scary
--- It makes you wary...about things to come...about things to come...
But what is life, if not filled with change ever so often?
You know which is the best part of this post??
ReplyDeleteThe last line :)
And yes all the things listed by you are scary and that is the very reason that am still stuk with my 1st job and I have completed 6 yrs here. SOme people say it is suicidal :)
Loved the post, could connect to it...
naah... nothing's really scary. Except, perhaps, regret!
ReplyDeleteWell said, and so true! :)
ReplyDelete@ Smita: Glad you liked it :)
ReplyDelete@ KArtikey: Good on ya...u r probably the only person I 'know' who is not a teeny-weeny bit afraid of change
Nice post.... psych babbler, how do we condition ourselves to believe change is excitement? Letting go and leaping doesnt come easy but there should be a way to ease it in!
