I realized I was getting old when I would get excited to purchase household items like a new vacuum cleaner, an air fryer, a nice blender and a food processor. If I have extra money to spend, I’m not going to blow it on a night out with friends (because I need to be home by my bedtime anyway). Instead, I’m focused on making my humble abode as cozy as possible because I love being there.

No matter how old you are, pandas, if you’ve noticed yourself becoming less interested in certain things you used to love, you’re not alone. Whether it’s attending music festivals or traveling on a tight budget, Redditors have recently been discussing the things that just don’t excite them as much as they used to. So enjoy scrolling through their replies, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you feel seen!

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Summer. I swear I used to be out in the sun like a cat every year. Now I just want to hide inside for the hours between 11/4pm. I can't handle the sun on my head/sweat, any of it.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Honestly? People.

I used to be all about hanging out with friends and causing mischief all the time. Gradually with time, I realized most of them didn't really care for me much as a friend, rather a vehicle for a good time. I was no one's first choice.

Now I'm at a time in my life where I prefer peace and solace over pleasing other people, and I don't regret it one bit.

Hot_Satisfaction7378:
Totally get that. Prioritizing your own peace and well-being is so important as you get older. Quality over quantity with friendships for sure.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Social media. I used to find myself posting all the time on Instagram and all that now I’m like posting every couple months. I honestly even get tired of scrolling on Instagram or TikTok. I feel like everyone is trying to be the same aesthetic and everything on socials nowadays seems unattainable.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Personally, Budget trips. I want convenience and comfort whenever I travel. I prefer hotels now over low budget ones.

Prestigious-Slide-73:
Agreed. We used to share rooms with friends when we were young, poor, and just starting out. The last straw was long after that period in our lives when we stayed in a shitty hotel room with said friends, and one single friend ended up on the floor on an air mattress.
I said never again. We can afford a real room of our own. There is no need to share anymore. So, if we travel with other people we always get our own room now.
I don't need top-of-the-line luxury, but I do want a proper, clean, working bathroom, working heat/AC, a comfortable bed, and not next to anyone but my husband.

Depends on what you call budget. I've always hated the idea of hostels, but I'm totally fine with a basic hotelroom (basic meaning: the shower works, I can go to the toilet and sleep without getting bedbugs) or camping with basic facilities (i.e. flush toilet). Nothing's as cheap as a hostel I presume, but camping can be pretty cheap, depending on where you are.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age It’s weird, but I have the hardest time maintaining interest in TV shows anymore. Like I can’t do it. I used to love so many shows and there are so many good looking shows out there, but I can’t sit and watch for more than 10 minutes without losing interest! Same thing is starting to happen with movies and it is making me so sad! Like, I can watch a movie in the theater, but at home forget it! I’ll turn something on for 20 minutes and I’m done — I’ll watch another 20 minutes tomorrow haha.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age New hobbies-- I play an instrument, I knit, spin yarn, embroider, and do watercolours. I unsubscribed to several publications because they are always trying to get readers to see more of the latest trends and I am like, "I have more yarn than I will use before I die... I don't need new paints unless I need specific colors of the brands I presently use..." It isn't that I am "set in my ways," I just don't want more. I am happy with what I have.

In our American buy-buy-buy economy, this may sound awful, but it is a relief to be here.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Working hard.

Admittedly, I’m in a good place now and have things set up so I don’t have to work hard but if a project coming up is hard, I just don’t want to give it the energy anymore to try and do it.

I’d see a hard project previously and want to conquer it but now, that energy is for my wife and kids.

Career advancement is literally making friends, or pretending to be friends, with those in management. I have the misfortune of going to my job, doing it and not acting like I'm everyone's best friend. So guess who gets worked dumped on them while others get promoted?

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Holding on to people, things, and places that no longer align with the changing seasons of my life.

I love so many people. There are things I care a lot about. There are places that will forever pull at my mind, asking for me to return.

But I can't. And I can't take it all with me. I can't carry it all. I can't tend to it fairly, I can't give the attention needed. My season has changed.

Growth is sometimes a nod and a tear and a wave goodbye. It's discomfort. It's missing. It's letting go. It's moving on.

And, ya know, sometimes that's just for the best. It's life.

I'm losing interest in what isn't meant for me. I think it's a good thing.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Gadgets. I don’t wanna keep up with what’s new anymore..l’ll stick with what I have and use them until they break.

nightmareFluffy:
In the 2000s and before, it made sense to upgrade gadgets because of leaps in usability. Newer cell phones had better reception and quality and larger memory. Newer computers could play video and handle larger spreadsheets, etc.

Now, it's like the new phone has an extra camera and 10% more performance from something that already works perfectly for about $1000 out of my pocket. I'm still using my digital camera from 2013 because newer ones aren't all that better, and I'm still using my older flatscreen TV. There are just far fewer reasons to upgrade now.

I love helping and educating others.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Drinking. I feel so much better without it.

SubjectC:
I absolutely love how much the public sentiment on drinking is shifting. Alcohol use is down 20% amongst Gen Z, although I think it's probably because they don't socialize as much, which isn't good either, but even amongst millennials like me, I'm seeing more and more people giving up alcohol.

Trying to maintain friendships with people you don’t have anything in common with anymore. It’s sad to me that we drifted, but honestly the effort that goes into it is exhausting. I’m fine with one or two close friends who really get me. I don’t need to force a relationship with people I went to school with 25 yrs ago.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Relationships. Everyone around me is getting married and settling down, and I just don't care. A lot of the ones I see are in situations where the relationship is falling apart, and they keep it together with duct tape and a will. They're settling and think they're happy. Reminds me of a quote from Sóren Kierkegaard: "We settle for misery we can handle and call it happiness".

Working. I'm 28 now and when I first started in my sector as a 21 year old I was obsessed with climbing the ladder and being important in my organisation. I loved being in management meetings with senior people, I wanted to discuss ideas, create new processes. I wanted to be someone in the know that could lead and manage a team to a new direction. I would crave projects where I could show off my talent and put myself out there. I lived for people in important roles recognising my talents and saying nice things about my work.

But now? Meh. I've seen how management works and I'm sick of it, I'm sick of working towards something that really doesn't make much of a difference and mean anything at all. I'm sick of the endless Monday to Friday, 9-5 constant workload. I don't care about my organisation, I don't care about climbing the ladder and I don't care about impressing people. I really don't care about working my a*s off 9-5 all week for a brief respite over the weekend. It all just seems so small and unimportant, we work every single day for what? A bit of money that just goes on bills. I want to be out there living, seeing new things, I want to explore the world.

But because I can't do that I just want a job that pays well and isn't too boring.

I had a friend group like this in highschool. I was no better than them to be honest with regards to the gossip. It became so tiring after a time. I'm glad I now have a friend group that just let's everyone be themselves. I never have to worry someone's been talking s**t or whatever, everyone's incredibly genuine.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Video games, specifically MMORPGs. Was crazy about them when I was younger, now that I'm older, I just want to chill, and the thought of having to grind for hours upon hours is just exhausting.

Mitchel-256:
There are tons of chill games out there, let alone ones more focused on fun and experience than extreme time commitments and becoming a second full-time job.

I'm finally getting a Switch! It'll be here Tuesday. I can't buy any games until next month, but I'll have the Switch! First game? Little Kitty Big City. Second game? Stardew Valley.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Losing interest in consuming multiple modes of content. At any one point my brain can only do one book and one tv show. But not YouTube, tv show, book, instagram, podcast, etc.

Too much to watch to ever pay attention to, and I kind of lost interest. Bought up loads of old films and CDs and spend my time listening and watching nostalgic stuff mainly.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Dogs. They're really annoying and needy. I don't hate them but I really don't want to own one ever.

That's why I prefer cats. Less in need of your love demonstrations. I like dogs, I enjoy dogsitting friend's dogs, but I don't want to own one.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Video Games. Been slowly losing interest. Was a Mythic Raider in WoW for years, but after the s**t shows that were BFA and SL, I gave up on Blizzard. I even went and tried the “free trial” for DF and it screamed same old Blizzard. Since then it has been a steady decline, unable to find that spark in gaming. I’ve started working out instead and it’s done wonders for my anxiety and health problems. Go figure. The thing that used to help me get away from anxiety, was helping cause it.

“Honestly? People”: 40 Things People Are Losing Interest In As They Age Traveling. I use to be excited for cross country trips, trips abroad, or even road trips. I loved the journey and the entire process, but now I’m like gimme milligrams and wake me when we are there.

Lady_DreadStar:
Yeah, this. I took two loooong road trips out of state this past month. This is something that would have excited me 10 years ago, and I am now nursing an angry tailbone from all the sitting and road bumps. 😠

This one I don't agree with. We are almost retired and are travelling more. Now that we've done our part (raising kids and playing by the book), we can now spend the money and energy enjoying each other's company. We have a holiday booked for Rhodes in a couple of months and I haven't been this excited in years!
