It's no big secret that our tastes change with age! We get exposed to new experiences, go through good old personal development, and, well, mature. 
Today, Bored Panda put together a list of random things that folks born between 1980 and 2000 discovered they liked less as they grew older. So, grab a little drink, shift your chair nearer, and enjoy the read!

People. I hate other people. We’re so selfish and annoying.

Lucky for us, we also managed to get through to the author of the post and pose her a couple of questions! 

First things first, we asked u/Sweetlo123 to introduce herself to our readers: "My name is Lauren and I am a 39-year-old woman living in Oregon. I work in the care profession now, as I closed my homemade ice cream business just before Covid."

We then pondered what inspired Lauren to make the post, to which she replied: "I made the post because I realized the older I get, the less patience I have for other people's ignorance. I find dealing with the populace in 2023 is exhausting and I was curious if other people my age could relate."

It'd be criminal not to ask the woman to answer her own question, so we did just that: "Yes, my answer is other people. I was so open and forgiving ten years ago, but got burned more times than I could count. I'm far more reserved now and only let you in once I’ve built trust with you."

Last but certainly not least, Lauren added: "Off topic, but homemade ice cream is far superior than store-bought and is not difficult to make. If folks have an ice cream maker, they should totally follow me, as I share detailed recipes of some of my most prized and popular flavors."

So, for all the frozen treat lovers, head to Instagram and Facebook, and don't hesitate to follow the wickedly talented Sweet Lo!

Staying out late. I’m good with the occasional night out, but more often than not these days I’m happy to be in my pajamas and on the couch by 7:30.

Caring about what most people think of me. I’m a geeky oddball and at this point I really don’t care if people have a problem with that or the way I dress. I spent so much time trying to conform and it’s exhausting.

Social media sites like Instagram and Facebook. I used to check them and post often, now I rarely get on my profiles.

Society and it’s lack of compassion and empathy for others…and the fact that everything has to be made into a joke of some fashion, as if things can’t be taken seriously. Yeah, I don’t like that.

Kids.
Now I know why the stereotype about old people telling kids to stay off their lawn exists.

Facebook, it’s gotten old. Even the memes aren’t really funny anymore. It’s the same boring, repeated self centered jokes about mental health issues, dumb reels, people vying for attention, it’s just annoying at this point lol
I used to love mental health memes but they’ve just gotten stale I guess? It’s almost like so many people just make mental illness their personality and try too hard to be edgy, and it gets old

Work. I’m getting older and more crotchety and it’s getting harder and harder to put on my work face and pretend to get excited about quarterly earnings and whatnot.

Doing stuff just to feel included. Used to go to events and stuff just because I didn’t want to be left out and be on my own. Now I’m totally ok with saying no, I don’t want to go that doesn’t sound fun.
Also, people who blame all their c**p opinions and feelings on “it’s just a joke”. And this is coming from someone who loves dark humor.
