Studies suggest that people who engage in new experiences are more likely to be happy. This is because each time we take a leap of faith, we're training our brain to remember the positive rewards associated with it.

The adrenaline rush, the endorphins, the sense of pride—they're all stored in our memory banks.

But being open to the world also means you might run into something that's not entirely up your alley. So Reddit user Best-Palpitation-915 asked everyone on the platform to share what they tried once that they instantly knew wasn't for them. Here are the replies that received the most attention!

45 ‘Anti-Bucket List’ Things People Swear They Will Never Do Again Living with roommates. Cannot stand it. I'm fine living with a partner, family, or by myself. But a stranger, no thank you.

45 ‘Anti-Bucket List’ Things People Swear They Will Never Do Again Jogging. I’m in good shape, so it wasn’t solely for health reasons. My dog, who I used to go on long walks with, died mostly of old age. I wasn’t ready to get another dog, so I decided that jogging would be a great hobby. Feeling connected to the neighborhood was a priority for me as I found myself staying at home a lot with no dog to walk.

So I bought decent shoes, did a little research on methods and started jogging just a few blocks a day at first to get into the groove of my new hobby.

Omg I f*****g hated every second of it. There was nothing relaxing or enjoyable about it at all, and I got home every night feeling like I was foolishly making taking a walk punishing rather than fun. About 2 weeks in, I stumbled and fell, scraping my hands up a little. I walked home, put my new shoes in a closet and never jogged again.

I adopted a new dog about a week later.

I can totally relate to that. I even tried it for several years - several times a week. After a while I even joined running courses and ran with groups. Everyone told me that at some point you get to the point where you enjoy jogging. Even after 5 years, I hated every moment I went jogging and couldn't motivate myself to go, even though I got quite "good" at it. It was a huge relief after I decided that I didn't have to torture myself with it and that it wasn’t my kind of sport.

With all the damage that alcohol does it's funny how you're considered the weirdo if you don't like it, and 'pushing' alcohol is perfectly acceptable.

I used to love a real ale, like a lot of real ales in a session, then I developed a taste for gin, then I quit alcohol for a few years, I came back to drinking small amounts by way of an odd G&T but nowhere near enough to be considered a drinker. I also developed a weird desire for encouraging others to drink their drink of choice, you want a lemonade? Have one, fruit based drink? Go for it, whisky with a dab of water? Do it. A decent cup of tea? Yep, that’s right enough.

I've drank gallons and gallons of beer in my life. Never really cared for the taste of any of it. I drank it to get high, buzzed, drunk, whatever. I just picked the least worse. A lot of people won't admit it but I know I'm far from the only one.

Same here for any alcohol. Even though I didn't really like it I always used to have a few drinks just to be sociable, and people were always trying to persuade me to have more. The one day I had a revelation and decided to just stop drinking completely. So much easier, and healthier too. What force yourself to do something that is bad for you when you dont like it?

As a beer enjoyer I'd say try a few different types as taste of the beer is very different and it depends on the type. For example I would never willingly drink and IPA. They suck and big time and by suck I mean the bitterness level is off the charts. However on the other end are the Withe (Wheat/Wit/Weizen) beers which are in my taste almost sweet and I love them. In between you will have pils and lager which are balance between bitter and mild (not necessarily love them but on a hot day are very enjoyable). And then you have the dark beers - stout, porter and Bock which are higher in alcohol but very from caramely to chocolatey to absurdly sugar sweet (I don't like them either). So to sum it if you are willing to experience you still have a chance to find something new and maybe enjoyable if not don't worry about it and enjoy what you are drinking. (Note if you are from the US there are not many wheat beers afak so I'd suggest try a German store and go for Franziskaner or Paulaner

Teaching middle school. I taught high school for 19 years, moved states and had to take a middle school position for a year.

I instantly realized it was not for me. I thought, "they're just a few grades lower, how different can they be?"

Completely opposite, exactly. I dragged myself into that school so exhausted and irritable every day. I quickly realized that one middle schooler with bad behavior = 5 high schoolers with bad behavior. My humor went right over their heads. The misbehavior itself was a type of misbehavior I'm not used to. Also, high schoolers sleep. Middle schoolers scream. High schoolers will sometimes be apathetic. Middle schoolers throw things. High schoolers are developing the capacity to think before they speak. Middle schoolers shout whatever comes to mind. High schoolers bully each other online. Middle schoolers bully each other in person in front of a teacher's face.

I have never gotten so many rude comments as I did when I taught middle school.

The younger the kids are, the more it's like trying to train cats to do synchronised swimming.

I missed an entire concert because of edibles, and felt like I was close to death. Hated it. HATED it. Never again.

I know there is money to be made, but there are several branches of medicine that seem remarkably unappealing to me - thankfully there are marvellous people that do the jobs others of us don't want to.

Door to door sales.

My trainer was sleazy as f**k and kept pushing us trainees to be the same. They had taken us out of the city to a nearby town so we didn't really have a way to get home until the end of the day. There were 2 girls with another trainer who noped out after 30 min and had a friend come pick them up, wish I had known so I could have gone home with them.

This sounds like some very dodgy MLM-like sale practice.

45 ‘Anti-Bucket List’ Things People Swear They Will Never Do Again I'm a bit of an "adventure eater." I'll try just about anything.

There is one and only one thing I've tried that I will never try again:

Sea squirt sashimi. Besides the terrible, innuendo-filled name, the texture is terrible, you have to chew it off the rind, and it tastes like salted a*****e. I should have known when the waitress came by, saw my plate and said "Oh, is that sea squirt? I'm gonna stand here and watch you eat it.".

Husband loves sushi and I am a fan of California maki roll (veg) so for first anniversary we went to a Japanese restaurant. Tried 2 pieces of sushi with raw crab and few other things, found myself puking in the washroom after 5 mins

Contacts.

I'd had glasses since the third grade, and in middle school tried contacts. The nice lady at the optometrist kept poking me in the eye getting them in.

I haven't even tried contacts. So, you say I can poke myself in the eye daily? Deliberately? Mmm, no thanks.

Kissing dudes. I was in a play where I had to kiss another guy. I think everyone has an "uh-oh, what if I end up liking this..." feeling beforehand but the moment I did it it was like "oh, ok, cool, this does nothing for me. Good to know.".

Psychedelics. I was with a bunch of friends when we tried them. Everyone else was enjoying it and losing their minds, while I literally felt nothing. Ended up leaving early and driving home since I literally felt completely sober.

Tried some others another time, and same thing happened. I figured I must be immune to hallucinations or something and never tried them again.

That's a perfectly fine take to have. I suck at the Dark Souls series, but I do enjoy the Nioh series, mostly because Nioh is a bit easier.

Matcha is an acquired taste I think, I hated it the first time but then tried again and enjoyed it! Mint is my absolutely-number-one-hands-down favourite flavour and it only improves the flavour of chocolate
