I always call myself pathologically stable, which sounds so much nicer than pathologically afraid of change. It amounts to the same thing.
I really think it's because I don't feel very stable myself, and I prop up my internal stability with stability in my environment.
Plus the enormous anxiety problems.
But when I do change, it always appears on the surface to be quick. One day I wake up, and something seems right. It makes me appear to be impulsive, although I'm anything but.
I resisted marriage for years, although my life at home with my parents was... rather more exciting than my preference. And one day I woke up and suggested to my now husband that it was time to get married, and I never looked back.
Well, except for the second half of my wedding that I spent repeating over and over to myself "I'm married. I'm MARRIED. I'M MARRIED. I'M married. Married."
