The more we age, the less tolerant we get about particular things. Like these 15 instances.
Losing Loved Ones

“I was in healthcare a long time and saw more and more patients die with birthdates in the 1940s and 50s. That’s my parent’s age, and those people are in their 70’s and 80’s.”
“I was an EMT for a long time. It’s hard when I get patients born the same years as my parents.”
Lack of Energy

“The lack of motivation to do things anymore. I find myself always exhausted and unfulfilled by just everything around me and I can’t seem to do anything about it.”
“I’m the same way. I hate that no matter how hard I try, I just can’t bring myself to do the things that I need to do. I can’t even do the things I enjoy doing.”
People

“I’m 40 and I’m starting to dislike people altogether. Any advice on how to keep that from happening?”
“For me, at 53, it was a matter of radical acceptance that humans are unpleasant. I cannot change that. I can’t save the whole world, but I can sure start by being kind to one person at a time.”
“My dislike of throngs of vile humanity began in my 40s, and 20 yrs later, it has not changed.”
Shocking Realizations

“Realizing I’m the oldest person in a group.”
“It’s like I was totally unaware of it when it did happen until it started happening more often. Now I notice it pretty quickly, and it drives me a bit mad.”
Subscriptions for Everything

“Everything is slowly ‘evolving’ into a subscription service. Even heated seats are getting those.”
“My wife thinks I’m nuts because I’m transitioning back to physical media. Keeps insisting that everything I want to watch is on streaming and then gets surprised when it isn’t or they took it off.”
Marketing

“Ads and commercials. The more I see an ad or whatever, the more I try to avoid it.”
“Shockingly, the media that is targeted towards my actual age demographic comes off extremely forced and overly dark to the point where it’s just stupid.”
Negativity

“Life is too short to waste time on those things.” Hear, hear!
Dating

“When I was 20, it was fun. Take 10 minutes to get ready and have a good time. Now that I’m older, it’s a whole ordeal and feels more like a job interview.”
“Everything is a whole ordeal now.”
“Dating is a stressful, put-yourself-out-there chore, but without the giddiness of my younger years.”
Job Interviews

“Job interview fatigue has me unraveling at the end of interviews just saying, you can hire me or not. If you do, I’ll show up and do the job. If not, whatever.’”
Live Music

“My feet hurt, the music is too loud, I’ve become very sensitive to strobe light effects, the ticket fees are outrageous, plus parking… and frankly, I get bored. It could be the greatest show on earth, and I still get bored after an hour or so.”
“I get tired of jockeying for space while sweaty people bump into me or having some 7-foot dude stand in front of me.”
“There is very little music today that I would be willing to pay current ticket prices to experience.”
Alcohol

“Life’s better without poison.”
“I haven’t drunk in 10 days. I think I’m finally done for at least a while. Depression is a b and it loves alcohol as a company.”
“If I stop drinking for an extended period of time, I’ll feel normal for the first couple days, maybe a week, but after that, my mind feels the clearest it’s ever been, and I feel so good.”
Diminishing Respect

“Nobody knows what respect is. My friend, who repeatedly says they don’t care about people, shows me more respect than almost anyone else.”
“What really gets me is the lack of social awareness, like is it cool to be up in someone’s ‘personal bubble.’”
“Finally, someone that understands the concept of a personal bubble. Drives me bonkers when people don’t get it.”
Wearing a Bra

“Especially underwire ones.”
“My wife survived breast cancer. Probably because of an underwire bra.”
Being Out Of The House

“It’s a coin toss as to what kind of day I’m gonna have every time I leave that front door. But if I stay home, it’s always at least gonna be a decent one.”
“I hate leaving the house. There are people out there, and they are judgy and annoying.”
Awful Noise

“I was at a coffee shop yesterday playing some loud techno and noise rock. It would have been my ideal hangout ten years ago, but it was too loud to have a conversation.”
“I want an EMP gun that takes out subwoofers.”
“Quiet is so nice.”
