Anxietynacy: Many individuals dislike change.

Report

I think some of the ones set in their ways are already ll from dementia and can't handle change. Others simply like things as they are.

I am comfortable in my rut but can handle change as well. At 87 I'm the techie person in the house and I manage. There were/are challenges to downsizing my home of 40 years and moving to a different community, but I'm managing.

My mother taught herself to use a computer at age 94, and after retirement at 65 travelled 1/2 the year to Haiti to do volunteer work until she was 85. She enjoyed change, in fact I would say she sought it. At 86 she moved across the continent to be nearer family.

I've read that one major factor in managing old age successfully is being flexible. I guess that means managing change.
