You're most comfortable doing things the way you know, and within that way, most things don't shake you.
So when everyone around you follows a new trend, you're not very interested, and you keep going steadily the way you always have.
You give the people around you a sense of stability. But you're slow to notice when something needs to change, so sometimes you only find out after everything around you already has.
What you're good at
You're someone whose standards don't change easily. However much things around you shift and trends come and go, you stay the same, so people come to you when they feel unsettled.
What you often hear
- “You haven't changed one bit.”
- “Try something different sometimes.”
What wears you out
Being pushed into something new wears you out. You don't get very anxious, but going along without being convinced, 'Why change a way that worked fine?', is tiring in itself.
For the people around you
You're consistent, so people can rely on you. But when the other person wants change and you stay where you are, they may feel, 'There's nothing new between us anymore.'
Worth trying
Once a year, change one familiar thing. It doesn't have to be big; once you've been through a small change, it will feel much less heavy when something really needs to change.
