How well do you cope with change?

well life sure is changing for me....was in college for the last 4 yrs...studying engineering...and last week i gave my final xamzz.....since then its been a bit tough....i am missing all my friends already...have nothing much to do....wen i was in college i usd to hate getting up in the morning to attend silly classes....but now its like wat should i do to keep myself busy.......really missing my college days....but i think ill get over it soon....

im someone who doesnt like change much...either im afraid or i am too comfortable wiht my old style that i dont want to change but yes change is inevitable so i just let it take its own course when i cant help it.i just follow the changes as it comes n move along

Yes I am not one that really likes change very much, it does take a little while to get used to a new doctor but sometimes I think with doctors it is good , younger doctors have newer ideas and for a woman sometimes a woman doctor is more understandable, I have more trouble coping with technology changes though than doctors..

Change should be embraced. Change is good. Change means that life is progressing. I understand that certain events such as loved one moving or passing on is harder than normal but that's what helps us grow as individuals. We are here to grow and develop as spiritual beings. The more experiences you have the better Person you will become and the more you can share with others. You will become a leader because of your experiences

Well, when it comes to the sort of change where we separate from the ones we're most close to (or the ones we love), I also have some difficulty with it, although I imagine not so "intense" as some people do. Being a Psych major helps and I also have been influenced largely by J. Krishnamurti's writings. I keep my head and emotions level and try to be always aware to not let my emotions affect my day to day life in a bad way. I do not run away from my emotions, but also try not to over-interpret them (I'm not sure if I'm so successful at that, though... I've noticed that I always rationalize as a means of coping with emotions (remember your "coping mechanisms" topic in Psych?)... whether that's bad or not is still unclear to me). However, when it comes to changes in environment or in doing things (change in lifestyle sort of stuff), I think I'm slower than most. I remember in my classes that one of the signs of genius is quick adaptability. Well, I'm not a genius! Hahahaha! Sometimes it's bothersome... but what bothers me is that I'm not a genius and not that I can't cope fast. Haha! Empower yourself without overpowering others. Have a nice day :')

I posted a discussion about change not so long ago. "Change is the only thing in life that's permanent". I think change is an endless process that neither any of us is immune to it. We all change or experience changes. I can't say I cope with change well but, I do my best to do so. I reflect on the things that brings this change, prepare myself for it and deal with it. Letting someone go is so hard because you get used to things that involves her/him. It entails a huge change, in all aspects. I guess all we need is acceptance, it takes a little time but if we learn to accept things, especially mistakes or things that are way beyond our control, we'll be able to adapt with change no matter how small or huge it is.

i know what you mean... when our gp had a forced retirement (bless his soul), we were left in distress. see, this doctor was also the one who delivered me and he always does house calls even though he's a big shot doctor who owns one of the biggest hospitals here in our city... the sad part is no one can take his post... his successors seems less passionate about their work and we were given no choice but to change hospitals.. up until now... i haven't found a gp with that rapport...
