We all like to see familiar faces. We prefer to deal with known quantities. Our comfort zones are places where the tried and tested mix and mingle with the safe and sure. What's wrong with any of that? Nothing - other perhaps than the fact that if we keep the new and different at bay, nothing may ever change. And we hunger for change, no matter how much we also may seek stability. That's why the degree of disorientation is not necessarily the threat that you may at first feel inclined to perceive it as,nothing to be worry about.
Prisons are surrounded by high walls. So are many top-class country hotels! In the first instance, the walls are designed to keep the inmates in. In the second? Well, the boundaries and barriers can serve various functions and the distinction between them need not always be immediately obvious. With that in mind, let us consider some of the factors that now seem to be standing in your way. Are they really imposing restrictions? Or are they actually providing precious protection? It may be time to reconsider.
One moment, you think you know where you stand and what you are dealing with. The next, you are adapting to some surprise development that requires a rapid rethink of all that you previously thought you understood. How fortunate you are to have such a fluid and flexible temperament. Many people more set in their ways might find a situation like yours exasperating. But life has taught you that wherever there is unexpected change, there is potential for great opportunity. 
We all look to each other for approval. Even those of us who bravely insist that we 'don't care what other people think,' we still do care, secretly. Or at least, we care enough to want to know what it is that we are going to decide not to care about. We can't help ourselves. We are social creatures. Yet somehow, we have to find enough self-sufficiency to avoid growing overly anxious and sensitive.So you get that balance naturally right.
