24 Things That We’ve Outgrown in Old Age

As we get older, it seems like everything becomes more difficult to deal with.

As we get older, it seems like everything becomes more difficult to deal with. Sometimes we have to just say, "I'm too old for this" and move on.

We went to r/AskReddit and found some of the things people are getting too old for.

1
Arguing with ignorant people on the internet. -u/Brundleflyftw

2
Loud bars with no place to sit down. -u/QuiramJudaculla

3
Unnecessary drama -u/itchybubblegum

4
General admission tickets. My old ass requires a reserved seat. -u/sunflakie

5
Petty games while talking to a potential partner. Just be straight up and real with me. Tricks are for kids. -u/Squanch42069

6
Staying up late, eating fast food, and going to work without proper rest and nutrition. -u/Influx_ink

7
Drinking heavily. It takes days to recover now, and most bad hangovers come with an existential crisis attached. -u/TheOptimumLemon

8
Family expectations. -u/Back2Bach

9
Worrying about anyone else’s opinion of me. -u/trishsf

10
Facebook. there comes an age when you have to consider... do I really care what kind of clickbait shit my high school friends who I never talk to and never will see, likes? I only had facebook because it helped with socializing in college/high school, but afterwards it's really hard to want to add new friends because they can see your history, and you can too. -u/chupalaw

11
Helping people move. -u/Hasenpfeffer

12
Monkey bars. It's been years since I did it until recently. It's no longer fun and I was in pain the following day. -u/Sir_MoonDoggy

13
Healthy knees. -u/VoE_Monkey_Overlord

14
Tik Tok. I told myself when I get older I need to be open minded and not the close minded grumpy old man. Then I see all these obviously staged videos and corny dancing/lip syncing stuff and realize it’s inevitable I am not gonna be the cool old guy. -u/traws06

15
Being around people that don’t respect my boundaries and also not communicating my boundaries. I’ve stayed in sh*tty relationships and kept sh*tty friends for longer than I should have, because I was too afraid to communicate boundaries or I was too afraid to stand up to people when they were acting sh*tty. -u/Pancake-pretty

16
Another COVID variant. -u/KTown-2006

17
I'm too old for people willfully believing bullshit in spite of iron clad scientific proof to the contrary. I'm too old for people worshiping politicians. I'm too old for people who think googling garbage is "doing research". -u.naugasnake
