What do you find yourself avoiding more as you get older?

[PunnyBeaker]

People

Outside in the dark

People. Alcohol. Rich food. Drama (other people's). Parties.

I avoid crowds, noise, loud music and alcohol.

The news and most tv shows. The latter are always overblown, hyperbolic and the pacing is wrong for me.

I’d avoid school events if I could get away with it.

I don’t like to drive at night anymore. Or park in a multi-storey.

HIIT exercise. Just can’t do it. Happy to walk, cycle etc, but no more bouncing around.

Most things to do with work - away days, charity drives, team building events…

I just want to read, sort my garden, have breakfast in the garden centre cafe, and study interesting new topics.

Love this thread.
Big crowds, or pubs really. Especially with bands. They’re always cringe.
Literally avoid talking to some people. I will hide in the shops if I see them.
Put up with people smoking or vaping in front of me. Get away with that shite

Fiction where the plot is miserable/depressing/harrowing etc.

Mostly now I read non fiction and fun stuff.

People -I thought it was just me

Motorways
Driving at night
Alcohol
People

Sex, definitely.

Things I don’t really want to do but feel like I should / am expected to (mostly involving other people and social events)

Shops.
I have more disposable income these days but can’t be bothered traipsing round - thank goodness for online shopping!

The news

Is anyone else getting large ads for key safes and security floodlights on this thread?

Social media - no FB, Insta, Tiktok etc

Alcohol
Sunbathing
Late nights
Anything with a dress code
Weighing scales

People

Yes, I've developed a liking for fluffy feel good fiction too now,and avoid any that breeds anxiety or lowers my mood.

Serious books. Poetry, Shakespeare. Ironing. Any film that's longer than two hours. Any black and white film. Any film with subtitles.

Eating late
Alcohol
Any event that requires standing including drinks parties and concerts without seats
Uncomfortable shoes
Underwires

People and crowds.

People, alcohol, going out in the evening!

Family members that get on my nerves. Spent years putting up with them. Cant be arsed anymore.

Ha. The responses on this have been as I guessed. The misanthropes of MN never disappoint!

I avoid being cold. I wear as many layers as I want, put the heating on and don’t mind about being judged!

Definitely. In fact even bending down. If somethings on the bottom shelf in a supermarket it doesn't exist.

People, drama, live music, high heels, fashion, the sun, second helpings of food and alcohol. I'm a proper party pooper.

Socialising. Just don’t enjoy it. I actively avoid making friends.
