Has anyone else gone through a period in adult life where you realize you've kind of forgotten how to actually have fun?
I'm not talking about just zoning out to a video game, but joyous laugh-out-loud relaxing fun. For me I feel I've gotten so bogged down with job issues, health issues, and planning for the future that even when I carve out 'free time' I never fully relax and just have fun.
Anyone relate? Or have stories on how they got out of such a mode?
Can you really forget how to have fun? Thats like saying you can forget how to feel hungry. I'm pretty sure the Last Psychiatrist can cook up an argument as to how you can, and definitely did. But, I'd wager for the most part, you are just not having fun plain and simple.
I've noticed that the quality of my social life has significantly fallen as I've grown up. And the number of things to worry about has significantly risen (No shit). And kid me wouldn't have enjoyed this state of being either. Adult me didn't forget to have fun, he just has a lot more headwinds to have fun.
I think the "forgetting" thing is a good cope, because you can ignore the fact that thigns probably took a turn for the worse in the objective sense, and you will have to actually put in a lot of work to fix them.
No I think we’re just arguing over semantics. Yes things have been tough in my life for various reasons but things have been worse in the past and I’ve been able to have fun regardless. So maybe it’s a bit of both.
