Scared of Changes

Hi, I'm nearly 18yo and I can't comprehend changes. I don't know how to react and from experience I know that if I react wrong people will yell at me. Until a few years ago I didn't really think about it. Everything I did and am currently doing is the consequence of someone telling me to do it. So now, when I'm given a new task, I don't know what to do. I believe that's also the reason for my social anxiety. Every person and conversation is different and they expect an immediate response. But I can't do that in such a short amount of time.

I think you have two different cases in here. One is that you can't comprehend changes and the other is how to respond and not be reactive. I can relate to not being able to accept changes easily. I'm almost 32 yrs now and I still can't do it. I didn't even realise that I had this problem until I started working. So, you are far ahead as you already have noticed this and seeking help. Hope you get answers from here.
