i don't know exactly but it seems like i am really getting old because i no longer find fun with textmates, chatmates, games, liquors, night life, and the like. i am more into work and travel with my bf. i just want to live with him very soon. my friends told me at my age i should be partying, dating, having fun and not work and staying at home. but i guess my priorities had changed. in fact i no longer like the scent of alcoholic beverages unlike before that i was so into it.

Sometimes it is this way as we lose interest in certain things and nothing anyone says will get us to change our minds and well if the night life is not for you do pay any attention as it sounds like you have your priorities in check.

I'm that way too, and I am older. It's not that I don't want to do those things, it's just that life has been so tough in the last 3 or 4 years, that I've lost interest for right now. You'll probably get those wants back. I don't know how old/young you are, but if that's you in the picture, you got many many years to change your mind again and again. Have fun when you're ready!

It doesn't necessarily have to do with getting older, I think people who believe that there are things you "should" be doing based solely on what age you are are just stupid. I didn't even start being interested in "partying" until I was 22 years old and even then I get very bored of it very quickly. I moved in with a man when I was 19 and I got married when I was 21. Just do the things you want to do when you want to do them. Don't let people try to timeline your life by absurd age or gender stereotypes. If you want to spend this time focusing on your career and building a life with your boyfriend, that is your decision and no one else's.

i feel the same way :) it's not that we're getting old.. it's just that in a stage that we did almost everything already and it came to a point that there's no fun in there anymore.. and to this point we should start to think of what's next??.. think of things that'll make you happy.. think of your priorities and put your heart to it.. in my case, i even deleted my facebook account because there's no fun anymore. :)i'm concentrating on making extra money , my work and spending time with my family. hope this can help you in some way. ;)

well ya i guess thats the sad part of growing up... that the things that you used to enjoy previously no longer excites you ... but it could also be that you are just the same young just that you grew out of certain habits :)

I can exactly relate to what you feel. Probably we've come to age when we no longer enjoy the usual things we used to. Priorities & preferences drastically change. I myself feel bored when I'm out with friends for more than an hour. When I go malling, i usually find myself dragging my bf to go home after 2 hours. I find it uncomfortable being in a crowded place. I prefer most staying at home, in a spa for massage, or salon for some self pampering. I see myself now exactly just how my mom was when she was my age. =)

I believe all of us are getting older everyday. In your case, I think this is just about changing priorities from one to another. Sometimes we get bored, want to have something new, and even do or like something completely opposite of what we've done before. If you are getting maturer, then I agree. It seems you are running on the right track. I am glad that you have prioritized something more useful, and it does not mean you are getting older at all! See, I am not talking about your age but about what you feel. Just don't worry so much and keep going.

I am like you in some way..but i don't really feel that i am getting older, although the fact is i am! :D We are all getting older and all our preferences and priorities really change as time goes by. So don't feel so sad or worried about it..i believe it's only normal.
