Things People Like Less And Less With Age

Things People Like Less And Less With Age

Day by day.

Moment by moment... we march closer to our final days on earth.

It's the natural cycle of life.

Age comes with a lot of life price tags.

We gain wisdom but we lose years.

It's all a give and take.

And as much as it's great to be alive.

Loss still sucks.

That makes the side effects of age, worrisome at best.


Redditor stofugluggi wanted to discuss the inevitable... the process of ageing.

So they asked:

"What are you starting to like less and less the older you get?"

Not being able to dance as fast. I miss going at 100 miles an hour on the dance floor.

"Malls. Used to love hanging out at the local mall with friends as a teen but as an adult, I fully just beeline straight to what I need to get and then it’s just survival mode until I get back to my car."

The Old Place

"The typical bar scene. I get off work and want to unwind. I don’t enjoy the loud, nearly shouting level of noise at the typical bars. I want medium volume bars that are fun and lively, but not noisy. I miss my old, favorite bar. COVID economy killed it. Craft beers and good appetizers is what I want after a long day. Not shots and drunken fools."

Good Days

"Being sick. It was an excuse to stay home and play video games when I was a child, and my body could usually fight it off pretty well. Sick days weren’t even that bad. Now my body hurts a lot more with much lesser illnesses, symptoms linger around much longer, and many times it’s not serious enough to justify staying home so I just have to go about my day anyways."

"If I do get sick enough to stay home from work I am nowhere close to being in good spirits. I am not playing video games all day long. I am laying in bed contemplating where it all went wrong."

Highs/Lows

"Enjoyment and happiness doesn’t hit like it used to. I am still generally happy and enjoy doing things, but it doesn’t get me as excited as it has in the past."

Hihihi93

"I had an older friend who said getting older was like the roller coaster ride evening out. Highs not so high but lows not so low."

I’m 25 and I feel this, imagine in the future. God…"

I'm Tired

"Getting up in the morning. I mean, I love the fact that I’m alive, but sh*t getting up and out of bed suuuuucks."

"Bed is soft and warm. The world is cold and hard. I choose bed."

Affairs with our beds. The life goal.

"My life and choices."

"For real. Dealing with the consequences of those choices made in the past is not fun."

Stay In

"Leaving the house lol."

droopyheadliner

"I can relate to this. I was highly extroverted prior to the pandemic. I loved socializing and enjoyed meeting new people. Now? I’m too anxious and depressed to even leave my house sometimes. I’ve turned down most invitations for social hangouts because I can’t bring myself to meet anyone in person."

titaniumorbit

"This. People in public are so crazy and obnoxious now. Rather stay home and chat with friends through xbox."

Remember the Fun

"Social media. It's vapid, boring, and a continuous stream of advertisements now. I remember when it used to be fun. Now I've deleted pretty much all forms of it except Reddit."

squeakycheetah

"Dude literally everything is advertisements now. It’s getting exhausting. Even iMessage games are littered with advertisements. I remember when instagram had just one advertisements you had to skip in between stories, now there’s two. If you wanna go to the next story on Snapchat, there’s an advertisement you have to look at before you can. I hate it."

Ac997

"All the major social media sites are basically melding into TikTok."

Leg Joints

"My knees."

monkeypickass1

"Right there with you. I even got rid of one of mine and have an aftermarket model now."

htownlifer

"I've had knee issues for practically my entire life because of my poor diet. God was it painful seeing everyone in school on recess do squat (?) exercises then I'm just here with my knees shivering and hurting and barely able to do a few of them. Luckily I've managed to fix them a bit over the years but when I get older that sh*ts coming back."

Cash Cow

Donald Duck Money GIFGiphy

"Spending money. When I was younger, I’d save up cash and buy clothes and shoes and food and all kinds of useless sh*t."

"Now I’m in my 30s and it feels like I’m bleeding money just to survive. I’m currently looking for a new apartment with in-unit laundry and you’d think having laundry in your apartment was a luxury for kings and queens. How does anybody afford anything?!"

Wow, when you put it all together, you see the scope of change.

Do you have anything to add? Let us know in the comment section below.

What people deem appropriate to say in public these days can be shocking.

I know that we all have to vent and share, but you may want to reign in a few thoughts before speaking.

I'm not entirely sure that confessing to crimes and plotting deaths is basic chit chat.

But what do I know?

Everyone is loose with their thoughts today, others be damned.

But don't be shocked if someone calls the police just from chatter over an espresso.

There are certain life events that are painfully embarrassing to most people, they might never recover from them.

Although plenty of scenarios can make a person want to crawl into a hole never to see the light of day again, the most mortifying experiences typically involve those of a NSFW nature.

When we're kids, we're taught by our parents, teachers, and other adults that what we're being taught is a skill that will stick with us forever, so we'd better master it and do so quickly.

But as any '90s kid will tell you, some things like balancing checkbooks and researching out of an encyclopedia really do become obsolete skills over time.

People Confess The Best 'F**ck You' They've Ever Given To A Boss They Hated

We've all had to deal with a boss or manager who we never exactly saw eye to eye with.

Knowing that keeping our job depended on keeping them happy, the most we could do was shrug off their irritating behavior, force a smile, and get on with our work.

Providing, of course, that their behavior didn't surpass the basic standards of human decency.

But when that happy day arrives that you find yourself with an even better job, and a boss whom you actually respect and admire, it gives you the opportunity to let your true feelings be known to your soon-to-be former employer.

While some choose to take the high road and leave as diplomatically as they came, others have no fear of leaving with a gesture that makes no effort whatsoever to hide their feelings.
