Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

I agree that over time, interests change. Certain activities that once brought excitement may no longer hold the same appeal.

One such activity is watching Hindi movies.I will not say that Hindi movies of our times were so great that now I find new films boring. But I guess because of the amount of availability I don’t find them interesting. In this era of reels, may be I want everything in short format. I expect to finish any film in half an hour. My concentration span has decreased so much. While watching any film on OTT, I scroll after certain time and finish the whole thing in 10-12 minutes. Whether it is to do with the content or way of watching I don’t know. But yes, now I wonder why to listen to all details when I can control how much I need to. It is the beauty of technology which allows us to choose, right?

And that to outgrowing is a natural part of personal growth. It doesn’t mean they were never interested it simply means priorities, passions, and perspectives have evolved. We need to make space for new experiences that align better with the present self. And even more than that growth is necessary. The past is meant to be experienced once, not to be dwelled upon.
