What are some things you notice IN YOURSELF as you get older?

[SClassWizzard]

1. For me, going out is not of as important to my anymore. I'm at a stage in my life where I prefer to just stay in. If I do need to head out, I head out to do the thing I need to do and go back home.

2. Making friends. Not that I really had any to begin with. But when you get older, for me at least, that whole wanting to or needing to make friends thing isn't of any importance either. Instead of wanting to make friends you much rather wanna make business partners.

3. Watching TV. Not that I don't watch it anymore, regular tv that is, but even when it comes to tv shows, the need to binge or catch up on them has kind of grew out of me. Normally I wouldn't wanna miss a single episode or I'd would watch new shows constantly or movies but that hasn't really been the case anymore lately.

4. Fucking around. Yeah, this. The urge to wanting to open relationships or friends with benefits become something of the past. Even though now it would seem we live in a hookup culture where no one really wants to make the effort to actually talk to somebody and getting to know to then have an actual monogamy relationship with that. Every thing now seems forced or should come with some benefits.

5. Drama. As if I already am a person that doesn't causes or wants to deal with any drama or trouble. But the need to be in arguments or debates and whatnot is also something I don't have the need or time for.

6. Politics. Yeah, I've never been into politics. Today especially you can see what it does to people. I hope that soon people will realize that the people that govern don't care about you or your problems but rather their own.

My list is similar to yours.

1 - Movies bore me because they are not real

2 - Friends bore me because most people have flaws

3 - Cute guys bore me because they have flaws

4 - Money bores me because only relationships make me happy

5 - I try to stick to my socioeconomic bracket cause I find that 90% of unhappy people are jealous of those who are better off than themselves

6 - Church bores me because churches are full of impostors

[SClassWizzard]

5 is so true and I see that in myself :(

[AddictedGirl]

For me

1. Not doing too much for others and focusing on myself

2. Having genuine friends even if there are 1 or none. No issues i can manage myself.

3. Learned to co-exist with people i dont like peacefully

4. Not seeking others approval

5. Understanding and giving space in a relationship and being okay with not talking for days. Because we both have a career to make.

Good points

As I get older, I'm finding that I care less about things I'm "supposed" to care about. I'm learning to let go of ideas and things that make me feel like I'm not meeting the standards of society or that I'm a failure as a person because I'm not doing this thing or that thing despite my age saying I should have done it already. I'm learning to be okay just doing what I want to do and learning not to judge myself or judge others for how they live their lives.

Although there are definitely some things I still dislike to see in other people, my general motto for now is that if it's not hurting anyone, and you're not shoving it in people's faces, it's okay. Learning to agree to disagree has made my life a lot easier and just accepting differences makes a world of difference in how I operate as a person.

Ten years ago, the idea of turning 30 seemed like I was so old and I would be so boring and dull. Now I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what I'm like in my 30's.

Maturity, we love to see it

I'm 27. Here are some of the biggest lessons I've learned:

1. when people are nasty to you, it usually means they are mainly unhappy with their own lives. Much less that they have a problem with you.

2. Friendship is not the cure to loneliness. Whenever you say you're lonely, people will always tell you to try to make friends right? Well no, friends are not the solution. Friends come and go rather frequently in life. You can't base your happiness on something so fleeting. Very rarely can you ever find a friend you can actually rely on.

3. You don't have to take everyone seriously. There are many people who say things but never keep their promises. People to say things they never intend to follow up upon. Some others blabber nonsense just because they feel like it. Don't take them seriously.

4. Never entirely rely on other people to help you. Because once they decide to drop you, you will be helpless with nothing. And trust me this happens very often.

5. Stop to enjoy life once in a while. Stop worrying so much about splurging once in a while. You only get to live once. Do the things you wanna do as early as you can. As a tomorrow or next year can't be guaranteed.

1. I began to be a lot less extroverted. I can still be noisy when I need to, but sometimes quiet is nice.

2. I became less arrogant. Learned that the hard way.

3. I am now a lot less "happy go lucky" than I used to be.

4. My locus of control shifted from blaming external events and fate to realizing that I can change my own circimstances and character.

5. I began to understand the importance of multiple perspectives.

6. I became more objective.

7. How other people saw me and judged me became important to me, because that is how I can improve myself.

[SphynxUK]

I wear what I want to without worrying what others think.


I am not afraid to speak my mind or put people in their place when needed.


I don’t put up with any BS.


I exercise regularly and look after my health. Something I didn’t do in my 20’s because I didn’t even think about my health back then.


I am picky with partners and don’t bother seeing someone if they don’t fit my criteria. (Can hold a conversation, has a sense of humour, is intelligent with common sense!)

[LiamJHayden]

I stopped having casual sex, because to me it was pointless and empty.

In conjunction with the aforementioned, I care more about others. I notice people who are down on their luck whereas I would ignore them when I was younger.

Even though I make multiples of what I did just five years ago, am more careful with how I spend it.

I've learned that most things are social constructs presented to us by corporations to generate revenue and government to collect taxes. Although I have been this way in some sense since my late teenage years, not going to clubs, bars or any other short term memory events that actually don't give me beneficial lived experiences and being practical overall. A brand new average sedan will drive you to your shitty job with cheaper insurance the same as a brand new expensive import like a BMW. I have significantly less tolerance to waste time, either you'll serve a purpose and be productive or someone else will. One of my new favorite sayings is "you all look the same in the rear view mirror" :D

[SClassWizzard]

Aaaah someone awakened :)

[Opinion Owner]

More common than you think :D

[mobiusforniner]

The older I get, the more I advance professionally, the more popular I've become... i discover i am more lonely. Because people are not authentic or genuine. I find they attach to me for some personal gain or benefit, leaving me feeling used.

[SClassWizzard]

We all been there

[Dinklex3]

I've noticed that I actually like traveling.

I've also noticed that I can do anything that I put my mind to & that things aren't as out of reach as they may seem.

[SClassWizzard]

Thats the spirit

[RolandCuthbert]

I give a lot less Fs.

I guess old people get to a point where they are like. . ."fuck it, I am gonna die soon".

[SClassWizzard]

Often times the case yeah

[DJB72]

I have less tolerance for bullshit. And I had zero to start with.

Especially "woke" bullshit

[SClassWizzard]

Man fukh all that woke crap

[NathanDavis]

that health is VERY important... lol

early 20's are long gone... metabolism's wonder is gone too, now the body's taxes are over the top if you do not take care of yourself

With age, people become extraverted, emotionally secure, agreeable, and conscientious. Over time, these changes are frequently noticeable. A variety of emotions and mood swings: happy, sad, irritable, tearful, angry, fed up, perplexed, and thrilled.

[littlered14]

Wisdom, caring less about what everyone thinks, needing to watch what you eat and exercising more

[Kingofkings1992]

I’ve noticed I’m much more honest with myself. I’m way better at not letting stuff bother me, and not giving a shit what anyone thinks. I’ve also noticed staying up late and hard drinking isn’t gonna work anymore. Lol

[Iron_Man]

The older I get the better I get I’m told now that I look better than Brad Pitt

[sheikalana]

I hate being around people or crowds.

[SClassWizzard]

Long live us introverts

[jimmy2]

Let' see

Teeth rotten

[Nikki1989]

Drunk people annoy me.

[aoihewgf]

I care less about what other people think

[Likes2drive]

Not as motivated to do anything as much anymore
