I actually kind of like it. When physical world around me stays the same for a long time, I start to feel stuck, which makes me very anxious, instead of feeling safe. This leads to me liking stuff like, moving to new places, re-arraging furniture, even grocery stores changing their insides. I also cannot have strict schedule to do stuff, because that makes me really anxious and paralyzed too, so I have "about-ish" time-windows (usually around 1-2h). However, mess with that schedule, and I might be upset and anxious, for multiple days.
