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 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.

45 ‘Anti-Bucket List’ Things People Swear They Will Never Do Again Sales. I don't like convincing people they need things, they can decide themselves lol. Don't want a phone? Thats cool with me.

My boss once questioned why I didn't try to push an iPhone 14 onto an old man who came in asking for advice on how to use his flip phone, always loved that one.

The only time I ever had good performance was when I got a lucky streak and the customers came in wanting something already.

45 ‘Anti-Bucket List’ Things People Swear They Will Never Do Again Snow skiing. I fell, a lot. I hurt my a*s. I couldn't figure out how to stand up without falling again. I fell again. I hurt my a*s again. I was freezing. It took me another five minutes to stand up just so I could fall yet again and get even colder. Tiny children were whizzing by me like they were competing in some weird kindergarten version of the X Games. I am not cut out for skiing.

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.

No need to try it, I already knew it wasn't for me just by the description.

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