People Over 30 Share Things That Aren’t Cool Anymore Once You Get Older (45 Posts)

ADVERTISEMENT

Life changes as you age (and, hopefully, even mature) and you’ve got to learn to adapt. Roll with the punches, try not to cling to your past lifestyle too hard, and instead focus on the things that really matter in life. You’ve got to do what makes you happy and not care about what everyone who isn’t a loved one thinks so much. Easier said than done, right?

Yours truly turned 30 recently, and all things considered, I’m okay with that. Sure, there were a few panic attacks, some sleepless nights thinking about deep and not-so-deep things, and a lot of looking at the number ‘30’ to get used to how weird it looks, but all things considered, life is good! From my current position, my feet firmly planted in my thirties, I can safely say that a lot has changed compared to my twenties. And I’m not the only one who thinks that way.

Internet users shared their thoughts about what they think isn’t ‘cool’ anymore when you turn 30, and the viral r/AskReddit thread is enlightening. We (arguably) can’t party as hard and should definitely take better care of ourselves now, but there are quite a few upsides to Leveling Up. Check out the best posts we’ve collected for you, Pandas, and upvote your fave ones.

Bored Panda wanted to learn about the main health-related things and habits that we should focus on as we go through our twenties and enter our thirties, so we reached out to fitness coach Anna Armagno Toussaint. She was kind enough to shed some light on this important topic.

According to fitness coach Anna, consistency is incredibly important when it comes to diet and fitness. "Losing and gaining the same weight is so bad for your body (and mental health)," she warned.

"Focus on what you can, even if it's just drinking enough water or eating one serving of vegetables! And move a little even if that starts as stepping in place or simple short walks."

We asked coach Anna about how important it is for us to be getting enough sleep and how a lack of it impacts us. She said that some people feel the effects more than others.

"I actually have an autoimmune disease and if I don't get enough sleep I feel physically terrible all day and into the next," she revealed to Bored Panda.

People Over 30 Share Things That Aren't Cool Anymore Once You Get Older (45 Posts) Telling people with full time jobs and bills that their hobbies are childish.

I'm 31, married with no kids, and a USMC veteran. I have a degree in electrical engineering. I just got back into Pokémon cards after not touching them since 1999. I was teased into getting rid of them by my uncles back in the day. Now, I've almost got a complete Base/Jungle/Fossil set, and I'm working through the Sword and Shield series, made possible by the internet and having disposable income.

"It is so important to improve your sleep hygiene: turn down the temperature in your room, turn off your phone and all screens an hour before bed, keep the room neat, and get at least 7 hours! Sleep impacts so much of our motivation and energy levels, even days after a rough night," Anna said.

Fitness coach Anna told Bored Panda that it's best to look work on habits one at a time. "Pick one thing to start, stop, or swap. Take a daily walk in the morning or evening (or whenever you want, but I prefer when it is cooler), drink more water (set a timer if you're not good about and add in a fun liquid or powder or flavored seltzer if you don't like water), or focus on eating more whole foods (especially vegetables and fruit)."

The expert was optimistic that everyone can do this, we just have to "find how to get motivated and little victories will get us there."

Look, we’ll level with you: nobody really enjoys thinking about getting older. But we’ve confirmed that life definitely doesn’t end when you turn 30. All of that fear and stress surrounding the very idea of your thirties is worse for you than the actual milestone birthday. As you get older, some things are simply put into perspective: you have to take the time to take care of your body and mind.

Developing healthy habits can help you avoid problems further down the line. Besides, you’ll enjoy a much higher quality of life if you’re fit, bright, and have an active social circle. In short, it’s never too late to start living healthier; but it’s way easier if you embrace that lifestyle sooner rather than later.

Age UK, Britain’s leading charity that’s dedicated to helping everyone make the most of later life, explained to Bored Panda during an earlier interview that our hobbies can help us lead a higher-quality life while also keeping us engaged.

"Having a hobby or learning new skills, whatever form they take, is important. And while for many they provide a nice way to spend spare time and an opportunity to interact with friends over a shared pursuit, for those with less social contacts it can give life a real sense of purpose and routine,” Age UK told Bored Panda some time ago.

I had a 7am flight from a budget airline airport. So I had to be there ~5am. But there were not trains of busses that early. So I had to take the last bus the night before that arrived around midnight. Sleeping on the airport floor was the only option for a student (or airport hotel for €100/night, which was a few times more expensive than the flight).

"If we want our brain to stay in peak condition, we should use it. In fact, one of the theories about reducing or delaying cognitive aging is referred to as the 'use it or lose it' theory. Research shows that things like learning languages helps keep us brighter as we age. It is just as important to look after your brain by exercising your thinking skills, as you would do physical exercise to look after your body,” they said.

We all have the power to greatly improve our loved ones’ lives. Not just with our company (which, we have to say, is pretty great) but also by helping them pick up new hobbies and staying active together.

"Doing activities together such as the gardening can be a great incentive too, or maybe help them research locally to see if there is a neighborly Book Club dial-in they could join. Even encouraging older friends and relatives to settle in with a favorite book or audiobook, do some cooking, listen to the radio while doing a puzzle, or tuning in to an afternoon radio play can help emotional wellbeing and mental health,” Age UK noted.

Life doesn’t end at 30. Life doesn’t begin at 30 either. But turning 30 can help you take stock, filter out the noise, and hone in on the most important things in life. Family. Fun. And gardening. Maybe living like a Hobbit from The Lord of the Rings isn’t the worst idea. What do you think, Pandas?

This may be just me, but: dumbing down my sentences. I was always an avid reader in school, but I discovered that if you talked the way people did in books, or used big words, it pissed people off. So I had to dumb myself down considerably. Eventually I stopped talking to people at all. This carried on into adulthood and especially during my enlistment in the navy. People think you’re showing off if you use big words. I was well past 25 when I got over it, and decided to talk however I wanted. It felt soooo liberating.

People kept saying I was a prude in my 20s for not wanting one night stands, after a while I felt like there was something wrong with me for not wanting to be promiscuous... the moment I slept with someone I didn't truly care for I felt like a r**e victim. I mean I wasn't, there was consent, but in my mind I felt dirty. I don't think people realise that trying to get your more conservative friend to be more sexually open and liberal can damage them. Be careful.

We’d love to hear what’s changed for you in how you approach life when you reached a milestone birthday—whether that’s 18, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, or any of the more impressive ones that come a bit later, like 75, 100, and 111. What advice would you give someone who’s currently in their twenties? Was reaching 30 a huge deal for you? Let us know in the comments!

I’ve got a mate who does this. All that “First in, last out, weekend working, etc.” is 1980s BS. If you are having to work those hours, you either have too much work or you can’t organise your time properly. The worst bit is that no one is impressed - least of all your boss who will likely wind up promoting someone else over you because they play golf with that person or they have friends in common. Hard work is rarely rewarded, meritocracy doesn’t exist and he’s an idiot for thinking it does.

My hangovers really took a turn for the worst somewhere between ages 25–27. In my early 20s, I could drink like a fish, stay up until 3 a.m., wake up at 9 a.m., and go to class perfectly fine.

Now, the sleep quality sucks. Even when I get eight hours of sleep, the next day is basically ruined. I'm just so tired after, and the alcohol makes me wake up sooner. It ruins my sleep. I'll wake up after six hours, feel like s**t, and be unable to go back to bed.

The religion I grew up with taught that sex was beautiful, but *only* in the context of a life-long committed monogamous relationship.

Then you hit your 30's or over and you realise there doesn't exist a single normal photo of you so you don't really have a reference to how you looked back then. I absolutely refused to be in pictures when I was in highschool because I had no self esteem, and I regret it now because, contrary to back then, I'm now able to see what I actually looked like instead of what I thought I looked like. It could've helped me heal a little faster.

One thing I when I was in my mid-late 20's is that 30+ year old's "big night out" was on Fridays. Fridays was way more likely the night they would get drunk and go out to bars and clubs and s**t. Saturday nights were still used but more for bbqs or having friends around.

Now that I'm in my 30's I totally get it, Friday night is by far the better night out because of two reasons. The first is that when you wake up the next day you still have your entire weekend ahead of you, the second and biggest reason is you certainly don't bounce back from a big night out like you used to so that buffer is required.

TL;DR: Going out to bars and clubs on Saturdays isn't cool anymore post 30.

In your 20s you may feel young, new, ignorant — maybe a little doubtful of your skills and abilities. Late 20s-30s - it is not cool to stay in the same situation you hate, just because it’s easier. Try to work it out.

All you’ve got is time now. More and more years to come. Allow yourself to continue to learn, grow, adapt, acquire new skills and become well-rounded. At least that’s what I’m trying to tell myself, in order to continue to scrape by / exist in the free market.

Trying to be positive, if not for myself, others who also have been trapped in cycles of depression / negative thought. 🌞

My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature.

It was not until i was 35 i started to like clubs ... i had not to be responsible for roomemates or friends who might get drunk and rely on me to bring them back home or that we go home together, i was not peer pressured into flirting or hitting on someone and had finally enough "f.... you" mentality to dance the way i want to without the fear of being judged.

I turn 31 next week. 30 has been a journey I cannot thank God enough for. I am freer with my thinking, more deliberate with my actions, more settled and at peace with myself, more confident in who I am and surer than ever that I am capable of living the life I want. I no longer feel pressured to be someone I'm not or do something I don't like, and I care a lot less about one person's venomous opinion towards me. And a lot of my peers are walking the same road so I feel like we're maturing together. My friendships are stronger, my connections more meaningful and my plans much clearer and more feasible. It's beautiful 😁

I am trying to maintain a solid look at work, but on my private time, if i want to hang around in my toothless jumpsuit all day i f....ing do (and iam getting 39 this year). It was not until i was 35 i started to like clubs ... i had not to be responsible for roomemates or friends who might get drunk and rely on me to bring them back home or that we go home together, i was not peer pressured into flirting or hitting on someone and had finally enough "f.... you" mentality to dance the way i want to without the fear of being judged. So yes turning about 30 (in my case) was absolutely liberating, even enough to come.out of the closet as well

Yeah, thirty is practically dead! Seriously, you couldn't pay me to go back to my 20s.

Here's one I didn't see on the list. I actually considered going to my high school reunion years ago. That is until I got in a Facebook chat and learned a lot of my former classmates are STILL idiotic jerks who never grew up. Skipping it and all of them. I don't need this

I turn 31 next week. 30 has been a journey I cannot thank God enough for. I am freer with my thinking, more deliberate with my actions, more settled and at peace with myself, more confident in who I am and surer than ever that I am capable of living the life I want. I no longer feel pressured to be someone I'm not or do something I don't like, and I care a lot less about one person's venomous opinion towards me. And a lot of my peers are walking the same road so I feel like we're maturing together. My friendships are stronger, my connections more meaningful and my plans much clearer and more feasible. It's beautiful 😁
