I can not understand the afraid of change to be honest. I think it's just a excuse people make for themselves that spread around now to let people believe that is true.

Just my opinion and does that make sense.

There will always people that will agree with articles and statements like this one. You can't do much about it but I just choose to ignore all of it.

Ignorance is bliss for most of these people.

It makes sense.... but there's enough historical and statistical evidence that the fear of change is a thing that I'm inclined to believe it is unfortunately very real

. That and I have experienced it myself, though not quite in a 'fear the other' way, more a ' negative self beliefs/fear of changing my self view' way. I'm still working on that...Anywho, back to topic. It's one of the reasons that breaking bad habits is so hard. Even if the conscious mind wants to change or you logically know its bad for you the unconscious goes 'nuuuuuuuuuu...different '. It's also sadly why many people will stay in an abusive relationship longer then they should, change and being alone is just so scary they convince themselves it's worse then then the abuse.

Of course that doesn't mean it's an excuse not to change. We don't go 'oh? You're afraid of change? Well totally stay with that person that beats you without you're permission and is constantly emotionally abusive' We go 'we know it's scary but leave the ass hole' . We don't go 'Oh? You're afraid if you don't have X bad habit to lean on you're life will change and change is scary? Keep doing it then.' We guide people through it best we can, create support groups, and give alternate methods to deal with stress. We acknowledge the fear of change as a bad thing and confront it in those cases.

When it comes to fear of the change to our belief systems because other people challenge it there is no reason to treat as any more acceptable or do anything different. In fact there is less reason because in the above instances the person's fear of change is causing them to hurt only themselves instead of others. The purpose of acknowledging the fear when it comes to the fear of others is so one can consciously cast it aside as the ignorant notion it is XD.
