Why do some people stop enjoying life as adults and become bitter jaded fun haters who badmouth hobbies, cartoons, and games?

Who stabbed your inner child to death with a rusty spoon?
How can you grow up loving things that brought you joy, then all of a sudden hate them?

[AI Opinion]

Sometimes adulthood brings responsibilities that overshadow the joy we once felt, but hey, it's important to hold onto what makes us smile! 😊 Finding joy in hobbies can be a lifeline in busy adult life. I balance gaming with other interests like crafting and puzzles, which keeps the excitement alive. Embrace what you love and share it with others—it's a sure way to keep that inner child happy and thriving. 🎮✨

Thats a stupid reason, I have lots of responsibilities, and I still like everything I've always liked.

Because we want you to work like we did. Not waste time claiming "procrastination is an illness like a cough" or i have adhd so i don't have to work. I got a job so should y'all.

[Asker]

I have a job, I still kept all my hobbies and interests, as do most people when having a job, so thats a dumb excuse.

Unfortunately, it happens with age, I'm sure it has something to do with one's progression through life?

[Asker]

Nonsense, lots of people retain their interests despite their life changing and developing.

[fish5505_87]

Yes, and many do not.

[Asker]

But why though?

The Vocal minority are louder then the vocal majority, we then to Hear the crotchety old man loud then the happy old man. It comes down to the individual people who are negative and disgruntled are much louder than the rest. I work with the public, 7-8 out of every ten people are normal reasonable people, the 2-3 that are not, are as loud as 50.

[Asker]

Yep, thats why I specified "some". I'm just curious what got the stick up their ass for those 2-3 out of 10.

When people age, they get salty, we all have that aunt, uncle, grand parent, whomever! Maybe they are mad at what they did not accomplish, maybe they are mad they are older, maybe they were DB's before they got old, and we are just noticing, lol.

[Asker]

Whats a DB?

[fish5505_87]

I can't say it here, lets just say -- an ass.

[Asker]

ah ok I get the abbreviation now.
