Why are we always a bit resistant to new things? It may sound like a big question, but it's actually quite simple. First, let's take a look at our brains – they are creatures of habit. From a biological perspective, our ancestors survived in the wild, and they weren't keen on putting unfamiliar things into their mouths. This "stranger danger" habit is like an alarm in our genes, reminding us to be careful from time to time.

Now, let's consider psychology. Humans are creatures who love comfort, and our comfort zone is our paradise. Will new things kick us out of this paradise? Perhaps, but our brains don't like adventure. Suddenly, having something unfamiliar pop up might disrupt our comfort and make us feel uneasy.

Social factors are also a headache. Have you noticed that people around us quietly influence us? If the people around you don't like something new, you might feel the same way. After all, we're often influenced by those around us.

However, this resistance isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a way for our brains to protect themselves, like a little guard reminding us to be careful. But don't let this resistance hijack you. Sometimes, taking a bit of risk and trying new things might bring unexpected surprises!

In conclusion, our resistance to unfamiliar things is because our brains are a bit conservative, and we love staying in our comfort zones – and that's perfectly normal. Every time someone tells me to step out of my comfort zone, I want to laugh. I work hard to shape my comfort zone, and now I'm being told to step out of it – that's when I think there's something wrong with my brain.

At the beginning, there is usually resistance to unfamiliarity, and it's only after prolonged exposure that you get to understand the situation.

At the beginning, resistance is inevitable.
