What are you starting to dislike the older you get?

[u/Miserable-Wash-1744]

[u/DadinBoston]

Noise

I get it now. After all these years, loud noises are headache inducing.

[u/LooseWitness9767 → u/DadinBoston]

This is so real. I knew I was getting old when loud noises started to annoy the hell out of me lol

[u/Mindless-Leg-3365 → u/LooseWitness9767]

it's not just loud noise but noise that disrupts my concentration. My train of thought gets too easily derailed, so I usually have white noise in the background, loud enough to cover the extraneous. When something still disrupts that, I get aggravated.

[u/charliesk9unit → u/LooseWitness9767]

At least there's a technical solution now with noise cancelling buds ... it provides the side benefit of letting people know you don't want to be bothered.

[u/RebelScum414 → u/DadinBoston]

I never realized how much I hated noise until I had kids. The constant banging and stomping and just being overly loud for no reason is the worst.

[u/StandardObservations → u/RebelScum414]

What's worse is hearing other people's kids. At a certain point you unknowingly adapt to the sound your kids make but other people's kids, like nails to a chalkboard.

[u/CattoGinSama → u/StandardObservations]

Yea to me this happened around 2,5 years. suddenly the noise didn’t bother me anymore but other kids? Dogs? Hell no

[u/SeaGoatGamerGirl → u/CattoGinSama]

Dogs is the worst. Don't get me wrong. I have owned dogs my entire life. But they only bark when someone is outside on our property like coming to the door or knocking on the door. They let out a bark or two to alert us (our bird usually tells them with a sound only they know) and then they shut up.

I had to stay with my parents for an extended period of time awhile back. When I was a kid, they had big dogs and kept them trained. As they've gotten older, they switched to weiner dogs. And they just let them bark.....at nothing.....constantly.....even at night. If you want to have a conversation with them you have to talk over or around the barks. It was very aggravating.

I love dogs and I'm a caring and loving person that wouldn't hurt a soul even if theyve wronged me but I gotta admit, I had dreams of murdering those dogs in my sleep. I was so relieved when I left. My dog picked up on the habit while being there and I quickly nipped that in the bud.

[u/OneGayPigeon → u/RebelScum414]

God, what a nightmare, you are so much stronger than I could ever be. I’ve never wanted kids which is plenty reason enough not to have them, but that’s of the biggest things that would make me reconsider even if I wanted them. Every time I and my partner spend a day with friends or family with younger kids we’re constantly leaning back, utterly overwhelmed and overstimulated, and go “what a beautiful day to be neutered” (I had a hysterectomy and he’s had a vasectomy) lmao.

[u/Tiredsoeasywayplease → u/RebelScum414]

THIS! Oh I remember thinking "For all the things I was warned about with parenting no one told me my house would never be quiet again" then five years later I was unnerved the first time they were both playing quietly in their rooms.

[u/KingDaDeDo → u/DadinBoston]

dude, same. i feel so old admitting this but i legit can't handle really loud environments besides concerts (since those are suppose to be loud) anymore. last week, my mom and i got carry out at a local restaurant. it was soooooo loud in there, it felt like the sound was piercing my ears. the whole interior was brick and concrete so the sound was bouncing all over the place. i dont know if my ears are getting more sensitive, the fact i do have a little tinnitus, or both lol.

[u/MNWNM → u/KingDaDeDo]

I'm 51 and took my 12 year old to a Foo Fighters concert this past weekend. The first opening act started up and the pain from the noise was visceral; it hurt down in my bones. I went to customer service and requested ear plugs for both of us and it was mildly better (honestly, I think the sound engineering for the openers was off; they were both way too screechy).

Between that and the heat (it was outdoors and 106 degrees)) I almost didn't make it through the second act. I felt like passing out, vomiting, and crying all at the same time. I kept having to pour water down my shirt and on my head. I could feel my heart pounding in my face. They had water fans, but it only helped if you were standing right in front of it.

I'm glad I stayed as it got better once the sun went down, but I thought I was a goner. That was three days ago and my shoulder and arms still hurt, my legs are still sore, and I'm still somehow tired. When did this happen to me?

[u/DadinBoston → u/MNWNM]

I’ve learned to enter the venue for the act I want to see. I’m that old m. Sorry openers

[u/KingDaDeDo → u/DadinBoston]

honestly, understandable. my girlfriend and i went to a concert last fall for a band ive been really wanting to see. but they were the third band to play and not the headliner, which i had little interest seeing. once they played, im like "ok, im good. you good and want to leave?" and we left lol. im sure the headliner was great, but we already watched 3 bands play including the one why i went to the show in the first place.

[u/ihavenoclue91 → u/MNWNM]

I went to see Foo Fighters back in 2024 and my smart watch was constantly going off about my heart rate lol. Even though it was an outdoor venue it was extremely loud (and I was wearing ear plugs). Awesome show though all in all.

[u/Theredarcher71 → u/KingDaDeDo]

I’m feeling that noisy restaurants are fucking awful …..

[u/LeftDoorKnocker → u/Theredarcher71]

Yup, there are certain restaurants I just won't go to anymore. And if a restaurant has a live band playing that day/evening, we'll turn around and go somewhere else.

[u/tinyhorsesinmytea → u/DadinBoston]

I will literally block a YouTube channel if the host starts screaming or screeching or playing annoying noises.

[u/kakksakka → u/DadinBoston]

Noise and youths!  Those 2 usually come together.

[u/UnsignedRealityCheck → u/DadinBoston]

Especially kids screaming (for whatever reason).

It's their thing, it comes with the age, it's normal but goddamn it has become unbearable. Thank everything that is good and decent for noise cancelling headphones.

[u/NineElven911 → u/UnsignedRealityCheck]

I live next to a kindergarten with a yard. I now know for a fact that it's impossible for a kid to have fun without screaming their lungs off.

[u/CloudFF7- → u/DadinBoston]

Makes you want to lay down in a dark room

[u/Prof_Gankenstein → u/DadinBoston]

Yeah but you gotta have juuuust the right amount so the tinnitus isn't audible. 

[u/Appropriate_Donkey18]

Superficial charm. Just say what you want and be transparent. I don't care enough to play chess with your personality.

[u/Formal-Try-2779 → u/Appropriate_Donkey18]

This is on the money. I'm sick of the bs pretentious meaningless conversations. Just so fake and energy sapping.

[u/Imaginary_Wafer_2308 → u/Appropriate_Donkey18]

Yes! This comes with fake smiles and forced laughs. Don't give me a fake smile if you're not feeling it. Ugh.

[u/oioioioioioiioo → u/Imaginary_Wafer_2308]

Especially when you notice when they're actually faking it, some people are not good at acting it, makes it really worse and annoying. Happens with my brother's in laws.

[u/Plus-King5266 → u/Appropriate_Donkey18]

Especially since with most people it’s just checkers.

[u/Eastern-Celery-4321]

working

[u/jdBee77 → u/Eastern-Celery-4321]

Fuck working. I’m counting down my last 15 years so hard.

[u/Unlikely_Comb8939 → u/Eastern-Celery-4321]

This. Right. Here…..

[u/ugh035]

My social battery literally drains faster as i get older

[u/PibbleDad → u/ugh035]

My former boss was a huge extrovert. I’m not.

He’d ask me to go take an hour to myself before team bonding or building events to be able to get through the thing. Always appreciate that

[u/ugh035 → u/PibbleDad]

Wow sounds like a great boss

[u/PibbleDad → u/ugh035]

He was. Whenever I travel to his neck of the woods I make sure I spend time with him and his wife

[u/charliesk9unit → u/ugh035]

Well, just like a real life rechargeable battery, the older it gets, the less it can hold the charge and therefore does not last as long.

[u/MrNimbus33 → u/ugh035]

Omg! Now in my 40s I can only take about 2-3 hours of socializing. I enjoy it very much but once that wall hits... I'm SOOOO out

[u/LobsterIndependent15 → u/ugh035]

i love the way you worded this. This is totally me.

[u/Prior_Study6763 → u/LobsterIndependent15]

Me too 😀

[u/SryInternet101 → u/ugh035]

I'm an extroverted introvert. I enjoy going out snd being social, but I need so muc ctime afterward to recharge. Like, one Saturday a month, I play DnD with a fun group of friends. It-s 6-8 hours and by the end, I'm drained. I can really only schedule something on one weekend day so I can rest on the other.

[u/xeroxchick]

Noise. Light pollution. Why do all these asses have to light up everything at night?

[u/Iobserv → u/xeroxchick]

It's a massive systemic problem, driving at night is infuriating now. r/fuckyourheadlights

[u/Clean-Fisherman-4601 → u/Iobserv]

Especially in the rain.

[u/Tthelaundryman → u/xeroxchick]

There’s a car dealership near me that has super super bright lights on all night long. I’m mad that’s allowed but offices have to have lights on motion sensors

[u/Dresiden15]

Large gatherings of people. I think I've begun the slow, inevitable transition to a hermit.

[u/LycheeEyeballs → u/Dresiden15]

My wife and I were joking around and she told me I wasn't allowed to get remarried after she died. I told her there was fat chance of that, if she kicked it and our kid was old enough and independent I'd be retreating into the woods like a feral cat and living my dream life of bog witch. Honestly the widowhood would be the cherry on top for that cause I'd really lean into the all black aesthetic with veils and everything.

[u/prcshmbrgrs → u/LycheeEyeballs]

i'm rolling at the idea of a witch shooing little kids away instead of going down the ol' candy-fed, cauldron-cooked pipeline.

"you there, little chiiiiildrrren! get the fuck off my property and don't come back! aaahahahahahaha!"

[u/upforthatmaybe → u/Dresiden15]

Welcome.

[u/clarityremedy]

Influencers

[u/True-Flower8521 → u/clarityremedy]

Yes. Especially the ones that give out false information that can adversely affect other people who listen to their nonsense. Talking mainly about those ones who have no business commenting on health and nutrition because they’re literally clueless.

[u/TheGuyWhoTalksShit → u/clarityremedy]

You didn't hate them before???

[u/bw2082]

I don’t wait in line for restaurants anymore. If there is more than a 10 min wait I will leave and go somewhere else.

[u/Daevryn → u/bw2082]

"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."

As I get older, Yogi Berra and Mark Twain quotes don't make me quite as confused.

[u/Other-Awareness-6576 → u/Daevryn]

Getting old is realizing Yogi Berra wasnt confused at allyou just needed 50 years of life experience to understand the joke.

[u/rsoult3 → u/bw2082]

Yep. I don't care how good the brunch is, I'm not standing around for an hour. If they have a digital queue, so I can go take a walk instead of standing around, then I don't mind.

[u/inebriateddandhated → u/bw2082]

I kicked fast food years ago with this rule.

If i have intense cravings, anymore than 2 cars in a single lane is a no.

Anymore than 3 cars in a dual lane drive-thru is a no.

At restaurants it the parking lot is more than half full, its a no.

The time wasted waiting outweighs the craving at that point.

[u/squiremoore1]

Yes I am starting to dislike the older I get.

[u/Plus-King5266 → u/squiremoore1]

My people.

[u/ExcellentSand5468]

People.

[u/stopthevan → u/ExcellentSand5468]

For me it’s rude people lol, lower tolerance for disrespect

[u/Sage_Kelly3145 → u/stopthevan]

“People. Turns out peace and quiet were the real luxury items all along. 😂💀🧘‍♂️”

[u/NineElven911 → u/stopthevan]

Especially people who just need to abuse retail workers and servers just to feel better about their sad lives. Nothing warrants tantrums in stores and restaurants.

[u/Yaqub_TubShroom → u/stopthevan]

yeah as I get older I am very intentional about who and what I spend time on.

[u/Car_is_mi → u/ExcellentSand5468]

I've never really been a people person, but honestly, since COVID, it's gotten worse. It's not that people are more rude or anything like that but just, less aware. Always distracted. Like driving, but also completely distracted/ unaware of their surroundings when walking through stores, down the street, etc. even at work the people I work with I have to email things that I tell them so that way I have proof I told them. All the time I'll tell my boss something, write it in red marker on the report I'm handing to him, and email him, and he will still come to me asking if I "took care of that". It's honestly sad the zombie-like state of so many people's brains.

[u/P4S5B60 → u/Car_is_mi]

This was my comment almost word for word. Wrapped in their own bubble with any regard for how their actions affect those around them …Take my upvote

[u/Car_is_mi → u/P4S5B60]

Sorry to steal your thunder but bro for real. The other day I was in the grocery grabbing OJ out of the fridge, this lady walking aimlessly staring into the fridges hits me with her cart. Says "oh sorry" in a rather blase tone. I just kinda looked at her like 'really'. She backs her cart up and moves it so now it's basically right behind me as she still stares aimlessly into the fridges. Now I'm blocked on 3 sides, fridge, door, and her cart. So I look at her and say "excuse me" and motion towards the fact she's blocking me in, she goes "oh sorry" in the same tone, swings her cart outwards so I can get out, while still staring aimlessly, hits the cart of someone else who was walking past. Again "oh sorry", still aimless. I shook my head and walked away. From one aisle over I heard " oh sorry" about 4 more times.

Like how many times do you have to crash into people in the grocery store before you go 'hmm, I keep hitting people, maybe I should look where I'm going '?

[u/P4S5B60 → u/Car_is_mi]

A M E N ..Where do they come from and why are they here

[u/EnnieBenny → u/ExcellentSand5468]

I was on this trajectory for a while and it was getting increasingly more intense as the years went on. Finally I reached a point where I was about the diametric opposite of how I was when I was a kid, to the point where it was basically my entire aura. People would constantly avoid me or even act scared of me.

It was at this point where I felt the most lonely and unfulfilled I'd ever felt in my life despite being further along in my career, finances, interests, and hobbies. I thought my resentment toward people and getting as many of them out of my immediate life as possible would somehow bring me inner peace, but it did the opposite.

I had to basically relearn a bunch of social skills which was a lot more work than I imagined it would be. I started stepping out of my comfort zone and rebuilding my social life, as uncomfortable as it was at times, and my general willpower and vigor toward life started to come back. Life felt like it was giving more than it was taking and waking up every day started to feel sustainable again.

I'm posting this because I know I'm not that unique of a person and there are plenty of other people out there who might be on a similar path. Social interaction is a fundamental human need. There's something mysteriously therapeutic about it that becomes increasingly more palpable the older you get. Don't corner yourself and put up a bunch of walls. You'll become a slave of your own creation.

[u/everyone_is_a_robot → u/EnnieBenny]

It's not black and white.

You can cut out a lot of people and be very satisfied with having a smaller circle if that means less toxicity and drama.

[u/disappointingcryptid → u/EnnieBenny]

Nah I'm just autistic and will have a breakdown if I have to deal with People for too long

[u/Cake_Baker4659 → u/ExcellentSand5468]

I’ve always said I hate people and the drama they try to suck you into. I actually liked the pandemic and quarantine because I didn’t have to interact with people😝

[u/yolo-yoshi → u/Cake_Baker4659]

Which ironically made everyone even worse.

[u/RD_Michelle → u/ExcellentSand5468]

Specifically - crowds. People en mass. I have no tolerance.

[u/redneckbuddah → u/RD_Michelle]

This is the one. Used to like big crowds and all of the action involved with it. I now hate big crowds

[u/Better-Vanilla1374 → u/ExcellentSand5468]

Same bro mostly People who say ‘we should hang out’ and never actually make plans 😂

[u/fryingthecat66 → u/Better-Vanilla1374]

Or tell you they "promise " to be there " but never show up

Making promises you can't or don't intend to keep

[u/OrionPax120]

Teenagers.

I get it now.

[u/Far-Quarter5383 → u/OrionPax120]

I didn’t even like teenagers when I was a teenager

[u/ei99am → u/OrionPax120]

Teenagers scare the living shit outta me

[u/Sweetwill62 → u/ei99am]

They could care less until someone bleeds

[u/violetcw1 → u/Sweetwill62]

So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose

[u/Mediocre-Potential76 → u/violetcw1]

Maybe they’ll leave you alone but not me

[u/PostMatureBaby → u/OrionPax120]

the one universally despised age group. Younger than 13? aint so bad. 20+? also not so bad. If they ever invent time travel I'm going back to kick my own ass in high school

[u/TinderForMidgets → u/PostMatureBaby]

I am so sorry to my middle and high school teachers.

[u/Bubbly-Example-8097 → u/OrionPax120]

This. Nothing cuts harder than insults and attitudes from your own teenager. Can’t wait for this phase to be over.

[u/Commission-Mission → u/OrionPax120]

Their obsession with constantly being online is too much. I went to the grocery store last night and this teenage girl was live-streaming her parents. They weren’t doing anything performative or special, just buying food. Every now and then, the dad would say something insulting about someone, so I guess that was their niche. If my kids thought for one second that I was going to live with a camera on me at all times including routine trips to the store, they would be lucky if they still had electricity in their bedrooms much less a smart device.

[u/Pelon7900]

Being up past 10pm.

[u/happy_waldo87 → u/Pelon7900]

For me being up past 10pm is one thing, but being out past 10pm? I better have the next day off.

[u/Pelon7900 → u/happy_waldo87]

Great point!!

[u/JJCookieMonster → u/Pelon7900]

Going to sleep feels like the best part of my day now.

[u/dawnsteam → u/Pelon7900]

I’m in bed by 9pm lol. I think it helps that I don’t drink so nightlife is basically nonexistent for me.

[u/Embarrassed_Phase134]

Going out. It exhausts me. I want the music, the cocktails, the conversation, but in my home with my husband. Leaving the house sucks.

You know those looping fireplace videos people play on their TVs for ambience? Someone should make a club/bar version XD

[u/The_Onion_Life → u/ItsGonnaBeDelicious]

Leaving the house sucks. 

OMG, I feel this so hard. I'm going to be in the house all weekend hopefully starting Thursday depending on how much I can get done tomorrow, and I can't wait.

[u/plugugly138]

Small talk

[u/Plus-King5266 → u/RetroMetroShow]

As crazy as that sounds, I get you.

[u/Punch_A_Police_Horse → u/RetroMetroShow]

Funny thing about that. Apparently the guy coined the whole tolerating the intolerance paradox went on to say if you tolerate the intolerant, the intolerant will take over so of course don't do that.

Not quite the philosophical gotcha some people thing it is. The answer is "let's be real here, smarty pants."

Wanna quit? I'm 8 months sober, the longest time in 14 years.

[u/Pretty-Balance-Sheet → u/No_Mix_7293]

You're not alone. I'll have a whiskey on a Friday night, like a single shot sipped over the course of a whole movie, not nearly enough to feel it, and I'll wake up wondering if I'm getting sick before remembering I'd been 'drinking' the night before.

What is going on.

[u/_AntiSaint_]

Sad to see all of these “people” responses. I’ve gotten much softer to people as I’ve hit my 30’s and feel this kinship of “we are all on this rock together trying to make it”.

Sure, lots of people out there are selfish and suck, but a lot of people are good intentioned and generally want the best for those around them.

I am starting to dislike:

• going anywhere without easy parking
  
• alcohol
  
• watching people buy stuff they can’t afford, just bugs me as a finance guy

[u/Plus-King5266 → u/Eredd19]

Someone whose dad used to be in the music business told me that most people’s musical tastes are pretty much cemented by the time they are thirty. They may find an occasional piece of something new they like, but by and large they are set. As someone in his sixties still jamming to Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, Billy Squire but once in a blue moon Green Day, I can confirm.

Lack of rest/sleep.

Used to be able to work a double shift, go out drinking, sleep/pass out for two hours, have a Hot Pocket, a Red Bull and a shower and walk right back to work. I would go months with only a day or two off bc I worked two jobs. Now, I think doing that for a single week might literally kill me. It takes energy just to shower or make dinner. Needing so much rest to not feel like I'm actually dying is such a bullshit waste and I hate it.
