I recently came across this statement, that I agree with...

When you're younger you spend more money on "fun", when you're older you spend more money on comfort/convenience.

I find as I've gotten older, I'm less interested about having "fun", and I'm way more concerned in being comfortable.

It's not that I don't want to have a fun time, it's just comfort is more interesting to me now, lol.

In addition to material things, I’ve lost interest in gossip or hearing about any mistakes people have made in the past. To be, bringing up someone’s past or any gossip about them is a sign of very low intelligence. It suggests you have no original thoughts, so you rely on the imperfections of others to fuel conversation.

Nobody is perfect. People make mistakes. What’s important is who you are today, right now, and who you’re trying to be in the future. If you try to talk to me about someone’s past, it’ll be the last time we speak.

And they'll play for another team in another place as soon as a better offer comes along - they owe your hometown no loyalty.

I spent my teens, 20s, and early 30s competing in martial arts, doing CrossFit, running, biking, powerlifting, always making time for the gym . . . And within the last couple years the desire has just gone.

For me, drawing. I used to be an avid artist, especially as a teenager, and I was pretty good at it too. But as I’m getting older, I find myself making less time for it and feeling like there are more important things to do. I’ve also kind of adopted the “if it’s not productive it’s a waste of time” mentality (not saying it’s a good thing, but I’m too busy with work and school to not be productive).

I had very few interests throughout my life.

Food
Television
Manga
Pokemon

Food doesnt taste as good as it did when I was younger. It also makes me fat, so I cant just eat what I like. And as I get older, my taste buds and digestion system will get worse.

Television has been less entertaining over the years. Predictable and sanitized. Everything being political or a remake or a live action version of a cartoon doesnt help.

Manga that I like is hard to fond in English and I often lose track of manga I like

Pokemon is fine but...lonely without someone to play with. And I've never had that.

Interestingly enough, my interest in making a friend or having a relationship is rising. I was always alone as a child, and even in college, I was content being alone. But now i'm on decade 3, and I have been putting in real effort to find connection. Nothing but failure so far, but who knows?

And maybe my fading interests will be more interesring with someone to share them with.

I'm 69 and didn't have friends as a child, because of where we lived. I believe it stunted me in so many ways. Try and get out a little. The few great but temporary friends that passed quickly through me life were the best. Miss them all.

Existing. As I get older, I've lost the will to continue. I'm currently existing and living for others in my life and not for myself. The only thing that keeps me going some days is the thought that I will cause pain to others if I disappear.

I know that feeling. It's called depression. It doesn't necessarily mean that you spend all day crying in bed. I have a type of depression called "persistent depressive disorder" (though I prefer the older name "dysthymia"). Symptoms are "mild," but last at least two years for diagnosis. In my case it probably goes back decades, and at times spirals into bouts of major depression. It basically sucks the joy and excitement out of *everything*.

I used to be like that, but as people started distancing themselves more and more, I figured I either needed to perish or find something else. Sometimes, it's not things to live for. It can be abstract ideas. For me, it's curiosity. I WILL die some day, nobody lives forever, and I'll get to it when I do. But right now?...Even though my life is basically monotonous, I still know that every day is different. Even if it's a day I didn't enjoy, it was different. Maybe find some abstract to live for, and you might find you appreciate yourself and life more.

About half of these sound like plain old depression! "I've lost interest in friends, going out, doing things, and myself."

Imagine living during a period and society where you have enough free time to even think about any of this rather than simply surviving then not using that time to do anything productive.

Boy, people it's ok to lose interest in a lot of these things. Don't let age cause you to loose your JOY. Depression is a dark place. Don't let yourself slip into it.

We are living a chaotic life. We were never meant to live this rat-race existence and I for one, am taking measures to be semi retired by 45 (I’m 39). I have chronic illness and my partner works away over 70 hours a week. What’s the point. We are being taken for a ride on political coattail’s and we are brainwashed into thinking it’s “normal”?!? Eff that.

Lol ain't that DEPRESSING 🤣🤣🤣 I mean I agree with most of them, but these guys made wanting to stay in bed sounds really awful. I mean it's a phase, people. I was in multiple bands when I'm younger, dreaming to become the next rockstar. It didn't happen. But i wouldn't trade the memories for anything else. That's just what young me was. This thread made it sounds that everything we did when we were young was bad, it's depressing. Holy c**p...

I used to be a rabid "Trekkie", or "Trekker", or "Trekkist" -- whatever. I don't have cable, so can't watch the newer incarnations. But when I heard that Klingons have two penises, I just gave up, because that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. cha' InSepDu', my a*s! I should probably rephrase that, but I'm not gonna. Pun not intended!
