As an adult I have never.

[Stopnames]

Never Been abroad, never worn heigh heels, never worn makeup. Never Smoked , never drank wine , never been to a wedding.

Never been a bridesmaid or had a tattoo.
but I’ve had a threesome and taken drugs 😂

Never watched Coronation Street or Only Fools & Horses. Never been a godmother

The things I've never done:

• Illegal hard drugs (only trief cannabis once at university(
• Been a bridesmaid
• Vaped
• Had a tattoo (I know my body would torture me by overreacting and being silly and sensitive)
• Been scuba diving / hot air ballooning/bungee jumping/pot holing
• Never been to India, China, Japan, the Caribbean, or Australia, but would love to add them to my list of places I've visited

Things I HAVE done:

• Been abroad a lot, mainly Europe and America
• Watched a variety of TV programmes including "trashy" programmes considered car crash TV
• Drank copious amounts of tea and coffee
• Eaten snails, frogs legs, lobster, and other similar acquired taste foods
• Flown in a helicopter
• Stayed in hospital for emergency surgery and treatment overnight
• Been very drunk at university and subsequently couldn't remember what happened 😳😐😨
• Ridden a bicycle
• Been on a hovercraft
• Driven a car for more than 20 years, but only after taking a huge amount of lessons, and passed my test 5th time 😅😳

This is the saddest thread

Never been to America.
Done everything else on the thread, to the point I'd been reading anyway!

I thought I was sheltered! Turns out I'm a bad girl

Why?

I think it would be more pertinent to the analysis if the question was "What, as an adult, would you have liked to have done but never had the opportunity?"

I have never had my ears pierced because I have not wanted to. I could very easily do so, but I don't want to.

I have never had a one night stand. I've had dozens and more opportunities but it's a situation I have managed to avoid. It's not what I want for myself.

I have never had a tattoo because I don't want one.

I have never been to a baby shower. I have been invited to two but I declined.
Genuine reasons, but I didn't want to go anyway.

I have never taken illegal drugs of any kind. Again, lots of opportunity but not what I wanted to do.

There's loads of things I've read above that I "have" done though.

Ridden a horse. Camped. Been to the USA every year for the past decade.
Holidayed in the Caribbean. Been a bridesmaid a mind blowing 12 times.
Played Bingo and once won £400. That was loads of money, to me. I've smoked in the past, and ridden bicycles, and done a bloody load of stuff that previous posters apparently haven't. I've also looked after my profoundly disabled daughter for 30 years which is an efficient barrier to doing stuff you'd really like to do. Which is why I think a differential should be made.

Things you have never done. Or things you have never done that you would have like to be able to do.

Never been a bridesmaid or godmother.
Never taken drugs.
Never had any fillers or surgical enhancements.
Never been good at maths ( I believe I have dyscalculia but there was no support around identifying this when I went to school).
Never eaten oysters.

Never been to me... (shows age)

Never got a tattoo. Never taken drugs. Never had a threesome. Never tried avocado (other than in guacamole which I hated). I've never taken a long road trip.

Never watched an episode of Friends
Never been married
Never been a godparent
Never experienced labour
Never ridden on a motorbike or moped

Never been thin. Have done lots of stuff on here though

Had a threesome
Tried cocaine
Been a bridesmaid or maid of honour

tried goats cheese

Are these things you’ve done as a child but not as an adult?
If not, what’s the point of the “As an adult…” title?

I think it’s great to know your own mind and not be pushed into doing things you know you wont enjoy. Less of a good thing to just not try stuff that’s easily accessible.

Never had a tattoo

I've never had a nose bleed, broken a bone, or had chicken pox!

It was Leah Betts who always stuck with me. I remember her parents coming to our school to give a talk

So, this whole thing is missing context.

Things you would like to have done and haven't?

There's a bloody universe of things I haven't done and that will apply to lots of people I imagine.

This forum is too diverse to get a proper answer. A one night stand?
Some, like me, have never and would never. Others do it without a second thought.

A caribbean holiday some can afford and others can't.

I've never watched Lord of the Rings. And I don't want to. Is that remarkable?

Less of a good thing to just not try stuff that’s easily accessible

But only if you want to.

I've never had a nose bleed, broken a bone, or had chicken pox!

I've done all three more than once but not by choice!

See how this thread is really not indicative of anything.

As an adult I've never lived alone,never had a tattoo,never smoked,never taken illegal drugs.

Never been to London? That one shocks me!

Had a tattoo
Been a bridesmaid

I'm sure there are more things I just can't think of them right now.

I think this would be a good thread to try one of the things you haven't tried off of your list, especially small things like having a tea or coffee.

Yup we had her poster up at school with her in ICU, has always put me off of taking drugs.
