Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Used To Be Obsessed About That You No Longer Deem As Worthy? (Closed)

Could be a collection, an obsession, a habit, an addiction, or just something you spent money on for kicks and have not really thought about it.
For me, it's Variety Word Games books. It got to the point I was buying 4 of them every month or so and I would never finish the whole book, just sticking to the games I preferred. But I also had this itch to do a whole book without getting anything wrong. No scribbles and crossed-out words. Everything had to be perfect, with perfect writing. It became a problem. It was a hard decision every shopping trip to glance and not take a word game book but I did it. I quit for a while. Then relapsed. Then quit for a while. Now when I flip through them to see if there's anything in there I'm interested in doing my eyes get heavy and I feel bored. So I put it down. Now, this wasn't necessarily a bad hobby or obsession, per se. It just got expensive and I thought why bother spending on something I'm not going to complete?

Star Wars. The Original Trilogy was my life. The prequels came along and ruined everything. I have watched the new films, none of the series, and they were just okay as entertainment. It is just a money making machine and nothing more, I like to believe the originals had heart or soul around them, maybe they did, maybe I am just kidding myself because I loved them so.
If you want to be entertained, watch the Phantom Menace with me, I get so angry, that film ruined so much. You may need a bleep machine to cover the swearing though.

Harry Potter, I had fallen from the hype long before JK started up on twitter but it doesn't make me want to pick it back up.

Horses. Too expensive and too high maintenance. It’s only dogs for me babyyyh. And cats and maybe a fish or two idk.

Care Bears.
I had their coloring book, and I used to think I really saw them jumping on clouds in the sky.
I don't see them anymore. Maybe they just hide better for adults.

Butter. Don’t get me wrong, I love butter. But when I was younger, let’s say….grade 4, I would have two slices of toast with only butter for breakfast, then I would have another piece of toast and butter like, two hour before I had lunch, AND THEN I would have another an hour before I had supper.

When I was 12 I used to be obsessed with beanie babies. Luckily I grew up poor, maybe not lucky, but I didn't waste too much money on that so called "investment".
I also used to be obsessed with Kevin Smith movies. As a teen I thought he was the best director. Watching his movies again as an adult I'm like "eh" 🤷

Designer handbags. After buying and owning three, I still don’t know what the big deal is.
Fancy cars. This is just me. I drive to get myself from Point A to Point B. It could be anything that is safe and easy to drive.

Transformers. I loved them as a kid. Went to see the animated movie in the theaters (1986) and cried when Optimus died. Now as an adult with kids of my own, i couldn't care less. Legos, I still love, but the robots in disguise, not really.

Being well-liked. I used to modulate my personality and style to fit in. Now I'm quiet and loud as my heart desires, I wear the rainbow tights and i'm much happier.
