Is it normal to be scared of change?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to feel scared of change, even when the change might be good. Uncertainty can make your brain cling to what’s familiar.

Change can mean giving up routines, predictability, or a version of life you know how to handle. So even exciting changes—like a new job, move, or relationship—can come with nerves and second-guessing. Lots of people feel that way.
