So many people I know have fallen into habit, and the idea of anything different is so scary some develop paranoia, anxiety disorders or psychosis. I want to know where that fear lies. What's so bad about not knowing what will happen next?
Are human beings control freaks by nature?

Me like change, like when the wind blows, it is enevitable and I embrace it. (which means that your very question is invalid)

A good site to read about the brain and different types of disorders like anxiety and panic attacks is www.thebrain.mcgill.ca The Brain from Top To Bottom.

Agreed. It's a matter of attitude. Curiosity can replace "fear of unknown change".
If we always knew what would happen next, then why go through the formality of living it through? There's no thrill in a story, if you know the ending already.:-)
Or, as one anonymous source said:
"If you're stupid, then everything becomes a safety issue".

It is human nature to want to be in control. When something threatens the stability or predictability of your life, it becomes scary because it is out of your control.

I got used to change when I was smaller, since we used to move a lot.
So, I'm sort of...deadened towards it. Its like I dont care anymore.
But, I've noticed most people are afraid.
I guess its human nature. Or maybe the nature of all animals.

Apparently you have never faced the prospect of being homeless. Look into someones background, how they grew-up, what their parents were like, and also check into what they are biologically predisposed to, i.e., bipolar disorder, social anxiety, depression, panic disorder. Remember, for the grace of God go I.

I'm positive its due to "the fear"
and yes every human needs a sense of control that's for sure

This is a reaction to a uncontrollable world.
We have tried all means to control or predict nature, animals and our own kind.
Survival instinct?

dont know if you realised but these two things are what scares the living daylights out of us when it comes to death because no matter how rubbish our life is we fear that it could always get worse (change.) lso not knowing where your going and what youll see is also teryffing (unknown.)

yes, we want control. and mystery or open possibilities can be scaring coz they need a choice and it's not always easy to chose, IMO.
