To think you get less sociable as you get older?

[littleblackdress04]

Or is it just me?! I am 46 and find that I much prefer to be at home reading rather than going out. And that these days I prefer daytime socialising to nighttime! I reckon I see a friend about once a week in various contexts- might be going for a run with a friend, a coffee, sometimes early evening tea in the pub etc, catching up at a kids swimming lesson etc. I don’t go out drinking like I used to, partly because I love my bed and like to be home by 10 - I would such a granny!!
I just like my own company more these days and with the combination of full time work and kids, also like being at home!

Aibu? Anyone else like this or am I just getting old? Sometimes I see people on social media still out at night clubs and it’s terrifying 👵🏻

YANBU. I'm 43, and used to love going out to pubs and clubs most weekends. Now, the thought of a night out fills me dread and anxiety. I just can't be arsed! I do like small gatherings at someone's house, or a meal out though, i'm not a complete misery yet 😂

I think I've always been the same.
I remember pre kids, I was about 27, me and dh went to a party, there were couples there with young kids, I was the first in bed, I just couldn't lady the pace.

Basically, I love my bed.

Lady??,
Last!!

Dh and I are mid fifties and it's a case of where do you go?
Eating out is a bit boring, we are a bit too old for bowling or these indoor golf places ( plus noisy and expensive) cinema is ok but not much on we would both want to see!
If we do meet up with friends it's just more food and that is pricy plus someone has to drive etc! We like to just watch a film indoors with wine bought from the supermarket and a few snacks and you can pause it if you need a drink or the loo or just cook a nice meal at home cheaply enough ..
even my sons in their 20 s dont go out a huge amount as it's not that cheap anymore! Most places are a rip off for drinks.
I know we're boring.

I still enjoy going out at 51. I don't have to do it often but I'm not happy in my home life so my friends keep me sane.

We are mid/late 50's and we go drinking in town with all the other 40 plus people on Saturday afternoons then home by 10 with a takeaway. Everywhere is heaving with us oldies, it's great. We also go to gigs, out for meals, bowling, cinema. I can't imagine not going out. I'd get bored stiff staying in or just going to other people's houses. I love getting dressed up and going out.

This is so me! I'm 44. I've always been an introvert, love nothing more than curling up with a good book. For years I felt I had to go certain places, keep in touch with certain acquaintances.. I was such a people pleaser. In the last year, I seem to have undergone a transformation, and I'm so enjoying it! I can't be doing with small talk, I turn down a lot of invitations. I hate being busy and need a lot of down time. My latest invite was to my boyfriend's sister's mother-in-law's 70th, a woman I've never even met. I told my boyfriend no way! Obviously I'd still go to events for close family and friends, but no longer to such things for acquaintances. I'm so much happier being like this.
