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

People

And thats why the lower priced items are on the low shelves. Supermarkets know people go for the eye level stuff.

Leaving the house.

I agree about the sadness and also the world crises. If my watching stuff would do anything to help those who are suffering then I would sit through it but it doesn't. I will absolutely do things that will help. Agree about shops too. I much prefer internet shopping and food deliveries.

Night driving. LED headlights just too dazzling.
Volunteering, and the crappy dynamics that sometimes go with it.
AI and digital life generally. Moving back to analog wherever possible.
Toxic positivity.

This!

Despite my username I had the worst panic attack I've ever had in my life this morning,I'm so tired of it all, I avoid everything I possibly can.

Agreeing because it suits them or just to keep the peace. I’m done with people pleasing.

Airports and flying - it’s just all bloody awful.

Definitely people, eating out, driving, tv, getting dressed

Unhealthy food. People I don’t like.

Public transport. It has deteriorated so badly.

Gluten, dairy (Hashimotos); social events; being indoors; shops.

Like many others busy, crowded places I never loved them but like them even less now. I've always been a bit "middle aged" at heart preferring bookshops and cafe's to bars and clubs, now I'm just more free to be me! I did used to have more of a drive to get out more though now I'd happily be at home a lot more. I think the internet means I can take classes and order books online so I go out less.

Definitely this.

Video calls and having my picture taken

I notice on facebook most of my friends my age haven't updated their profile pic for years now when they used to do so quite frequently. There comes a time when the photos are too depressing I think!

This thread is really depressing
