That's my theory too. In your first 20-30 years there are so many new things to keep your mind busy. Different schools, driver's license, first car, first time seeing a movie, first time seeing a concert, first relationships, first break up, moving out, travel, first job, children and so on. At some point it all becomes a repeat. I feel a lot of movies are just a repeat of what I have seen 30 years ago. Same for music. I can go to India for the fifth time but it's not the same excitement and amount of new experiences as the first time.
I don't know how to get out of this. I can't think of any truly new things to do. Maybe I could go to jail or win Wimbledon? These would be truly new :-)

Any of the following can consume your whole time, and have huge communities of full-time devotees: * Rock Climbing * Mountaineering * Kayaking * Paragliding * Kite/Windsurfing * Surfing * Snowboarding (if you ski, skiing if you snowboard) * Backcountry skiing (aka ski-tour)
- com2kid 5y agoLearn something completely unfamiliar to you. Something you are going to start off terrible at. Even better, an activity where the community surrounding it is also vastly different than your typical friends circle. Know a bunch of engineers? Dive into painting or sculpting. Find a way to twist your brain in a painful new direction.
