re: As you get older, do you find you have more or less interest in things in general?

More interest in specific things and less interest in a broad range of things.

Woah, let's not get crazy.

I find I fluctuate back and forth between things I like to do. Eventually some of them get old and I put it aside, but often go back to them at a later date.

I do have many interests though between woodworking, gardening, upkeep on my house, maintaining my vehicles, fishing, socializing with friends, playing pool and darts, cooking, riding my motorcycle, etc.

The ones I don't really put aside are cooking and darts and have been doing both for decades now.

Yes. Pretty much everything interests me less now.. I'm only 32. Video games are one of my big hobbies and I never even feel like doing that anymore aside from Overwatch which I play fairly regularly. When I start playing another game I just get bored so quickly. I have a backlog I'll probably never play in my lifetime.

Sports - I watch way less of now. Everything I watch regarding sports is usually just if I'm at the bar drinking already. Still enjoy that, and socializing with friends and even strangers. I find that to be the thing that never gets old but it can if I'm doing it 2-3 times a week. So I try to limit it to just a Friday or a Saturday night. But I also drink less because I don't want to be a fat arse.

exactly

And those few are things i was never interested in my younger days.

Cooking
Home improvement

Yes I don’t give a rat’s arse about anything

I know one thing. The older I get the more patience I lose.

My dr appointment today was for 3. Still in the fricking waiting room. If they can’t do blood work today I’m gonna lose my shite. I’ve been fasting. I’m hungry as frick.

garfdening, cooking, tennis, music, woodworking, model vehicles, video game s

Lets see. 62, was forced into retirement 10 years ago due to health. Interest were everything outdoors and then some.

Now, some woodworking and a shite load of drinking.

I don't think most people care less about everything as they get older, but they do care less about many things that they don't deem as important anymore. When I was a kid I loved to play and watch all sports, but as the years have gone by, my interest seemed to drop off slowly, now all I watch is football, mostly college.
