Adult life being dull

So one thing I do hate about adult life is how boring it gets. It's very reppretive and half the time you feel like your in limbo. TV sucks new music sucks politics sucks religion sucks gaming sucks Christmas and birthdays sucks the older you get even football gets boring after you've been to like 5 matches. Wieredly though I've found the only thing these days that brings me pleasure is either stuff that scares me or brings me an adrenaline rush or physical pain. Which sure may make me sound crazy to some but when life gets boring to the point of beyond belief that's all that seems left. All I'm saving for now are tattoos as I have the majority of meterlistic items I need so now and I've exceled at my hobby so now I'm turning my body into art. Looking into taking up boxing too. And looking forward to hiking bit since covid everything's just been ***.

Parents
  • I like being an adult. I didn't start to feel comfortable in myself much before my mid-thirties. We forget how little control we had as children over our own lives, even if we had loving parents. Also school was such a waking nightmare for me, that I would never want to go back to that again. I'm never bored, never have been, if left to my own devices.

  • I think I enjoyed being a young adult but once I had children my whole life went out of control and it was all terrifying.

  • Exactly the opposite for me. I really did not do being young very well at all, but being a husband and a father was much more comfortable.

  • No, for me the pregnancy was horrific. The worst 'illness' of my life. I was at home ill the whole time with no visitors, sick and frightened. Then I had this tiny baby to look after, her life depended on me and again I had very little support. No friends or relatives to turn to. I had to be on duty 24/7 with no time to destress, decompress or process the huge changes my body and mind was going through.

    Now my daughter is 15, at last I can find ME again and switch off from the 24/7 worrying and activity.

    I am glad I've got her but I recommend all women to get a support group BEFORE having children. You. Will. Need. It!!!!!!
