Suddenly no longer enjoy going 'out out'

[terracottacountryfarm]

It's like a switch has flipped! All of a sudden, I've got the 'going out' dread and would rather be at home in bed by 9pm!
I've been party animal all my life and now I've hit 28, I honestly can't think of anything worse - let alone the horrendous hangovers! All my friends are still really into going out but I think I'm at the next stage in my life when I want to settle and have children soon (in a LTR). Is this normal?!

Im the same now, but it didn’t hit me until I was gone 50.

Not yet/ am 44

I hit this point around 22. 😂

horses for courses I think. It’s just a preference, some people never enjoy clubbing some people do it well into their 50s

Completely normal!

I lost interest in "clubbing" even younger. Probably at about 24/25 max.

I'm 40 now, and there are VERY few people in my life who I'd want to go out with on an evening these days! We all want to be tucked up in our cozy homes by about 7pm at the latest. Especially this time of year. Bit different in the summer.

I was the same - it was around 28 when I started feeling like that. Bad timing as I just had moved to London around then but it was fine, I spent more time eating out, going to see shows etc rather than going out drinking and I had a great time! Everyone will have different views based on what they enjoy doing, but ultimately you like what you like and nothing will change that so just go with what you feel like doing and don't beat yourself up about it either way!

I'm 53. The drinking & clubbing til all hours ended in my early 30s. We would still meet in the evenings for food, films & theatre just not til the wee small hours.
It's only been in the last couple of years that we've started meeting at lunch times & going to matinee theatre performances - avoiding late night trains is a bit of a reason for this.

Philosophical discussions once held until 3am fuelled by wine & vodka still occur, only now they take place over a nice lunch with decent wine/good coffee & being home by around 8pm which is quite civilised!

Late nights and noisy crowded pubs are out. But I'm 67 and will go to the opening of an envelope provided I'm home by 7oc lol 😊. Long late lunches are VERY fashionable now ......
