Faleeria Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Blissful ignorance and naively thinking all people want to do good things. In other words, I started doubting a lot more once I grew older. Link to post Share on other sites

Zagadka Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 All kinds of idealism, faith. Energy for new projects and dealing with people. But that might just be me.

uhtred Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Indestructibility. When you are young you can recover from almost anything. As you get older injuries take longer to heal. It forces you to be more cautious even if your spirit is still young Link to post Share on other sites

They say people grow out of liberal views and become more conservative with age, but I've stayed the same or become more radical just seeing the same injustices continued, and I've seen more how business operates and treats workers.

Acing It Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Oh, where's my list! My health, gradually, patience, trust in people, idealism to some extent, eyesight, hearing, time to have a family (wahahahah), energy (everything takes more effort, including dealing with annoying people), faith in humanity, family and friends, my sense of adventure, fitness, ... My list of things I have gained as I got older is almost as long though. Ps.: you gotta love @Homer pfff Link to post Share on other sites

DemonicEnby Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Youthful metabolism. When I was a teen I could eat double the amount of food I eat today, not put on weight and partying wasn't punished with the hangover of doom. And patience in dealing with people too. Nowadays I just got no fucks to give anymore and have more of a general meh-attitude to... Nearly everything really. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yea, when I was a teen I was rail thin and ate without thinking twice... in my mid-late 20s I was on psych meds and that stopped, put on a ton of weight overnight and am just now getting rid of it after years of trying.
