How do you deal with people and the environment around you changing? I feel like change is so hard for me. Even when my friends change in little ways it stresses me out and it makes me feel really bad bc we’re supposed to embrace change help 😭

Recognize why it stresses you out first. Does change for you mean eventual abandonment from others? Do you feel like you need to "catch up"? Then after recognizing that change is not always an evil thing, remain open. Don't shut yourself out nor cling to them. And if you are becoming uncomfortable with something thats happening communicate that with them! Not that they should change but that they are aware so you aren't overwhelmed.

If reassurance is what you seek then seek it, reassurance is not a bad thing!

I think it stresses me out because I guess I liked the old version of them better and even though the change isn’t necessarily bad I notice maybe we don’t align in a certain ways anymore and that’s kinda scary? Like I feel like when ppl change around me it feels like we eventually end up drifting apart as a result

But in a way it doesn’t make sense bc I’ve also changed in a lot of ways as well so I don’t know why this is impacting me so strongly.

This is why I think reassurance would be a start! Its not an end all be all because its still possible for that fear to become reality however once you start to tell yourself that change is simply a part of life and its not the end of the world you can progress with friendships without control

When you say reassurance do you mean like finding it within myself or from other people?
