Is it normal to hate change?
Yes—lots of people dislike change, especially when it brings uncertainty or disrupts routines. It’s usually nothing to worry about unless avoiding change is keeping you from things you want or need.
Change can mean losing a familiar routine, even when the new thing might turn out fine. Your brain tends to find the known easier to handle than the unknown, so it makes sense if you’d rather keep things as they are.
People vary: some enjoy a fresh start, while others need time to warm up to it. If change is coming, breaking it into smaller steps and keeping a few familiar routines can make it feel less overwhelming.
It may be worth looking more closely if fear of change regularly stops you from doing things that matter to you—but simply preferring the familiar is very common.
