You only really relax when you're in familiar places, with familiar people.
In new places there's more to keep track of, so you tire quickly, and you keep choosing the restaurant you always go to and the way you always do things.
People call you set in your ways. But really, you're already taking in so much from around you that there's no room left for anything new on top of it.
What you're good at
You know familiar things deeply. Because you stay in one place for a long time, you can look after the people and the work there more carefully than anyone.
What you often hear
- “There again?”
- “Try something new for once.”
What wears you out
When familiar things all change at once, you feel it more than most. As changes pile up, like a move, a new job, or new people, you wish, 'If only they came one at a time,' because adjusting takes far more out of you than it does out of others.
For the people around you
Once you've opened up to someone, you stay by their side for a long time. But if they often suggest new things and you keep saying no, they may come to feel, 'There isn't much we can do together.'
Worth trying
Take on changes one at a time. You don't have to turn down everything new; if you get used to one thing before taking on the next, you'll be far less tired.
