Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Used To Be Obsessed About That You No Longer Deem As Worthy? (Closed)

Could be a collection, an obsession, a habit, an addiction, or just something you spent money on for kicks and have not really thought about it.

For me, it's Variety Word Games books. It got to the point I was buying 4 of them every month or so and I would never finish the whole book, just sticking to the games I preferred. But I also had this itch to do a whole book without getting anything wrong. No scribbles and crossed-out words. Everything had to be perfect, with perfect writing. It became a problem. It was a hard decision every shopping trip to glance and not take a word game book but I did it. I quit for a while. Then relapsed. Then quit for a while. Now when I flip through them to see if there's anything in there I'm interested in doing my eyes get heavy and I feel bored. So I put it down. Now, this wasn't necessarily a bad hobby or obsession, per se. It just got expensive and I thought why bother spending on something I'm not going to complete?

Star Wars. The Original Trilogy was my life. The prequels came along and ruined everything. I have watched the new films, none of the series, and they were just okay as entertainment. It is just a money making machine and nothing more, I like to believe the originals had heart or soul around them, maybe they did, maybe I am just kidding myself because I loved them so.

If you want to be entertained, watch the Phantom Menace with me, I get so angry, that film ruined so much. You may need a bleep machine to cover the swearing though.

Harry Potter, I had fallen from the hype long before JK started up on twitter but it doesn't make me want to pick it back up.

Care Bears.
I had their coloring book, and I used to think I really saw them jumping on clouds in the sky.

I don't see them anymore. Maybe they just hide better for adults.

Butter. Don’t get me wrong, I love butter. But when I was younger, let’s say….grade 4, I would have two slices of toast with only butter for breakfast, then I would have another piece of toast and butter like, two hour before I had lunch, AND THEN I would have another an hour before I had supper.

When I was 12 I used to be obsessed with beanie babies. Luckily I grew up poor, maybe not lucky, but I didn't waste too much money on that so called "investment".
I also used to be obsessed with Kevin Smith movies. As a teen I thought he was the best director. Watching his movies again as an adult I'm like "eh" 🤷

Designer handbags. After buying and owning three, I still don’t know what the big deal is.
Fancy cars. This is just me. I drive to get myself from Point A to Point B. It could be anything that is safe and easy to drive.

Transformers. I loved them as a kid. Went to see the animated movie in the theaters (1986) and cried when Optimus died. Now as an adult with kids of my own, i couldn't care less. Legos, I still love, but the robots in disguise, not really.

Being well-liked. I used to modulate my personality and style to fit in. Now I'm quiet and loud as my heart desires, I wear the rainbow tights and i'm much happier.

Doctor as a profession.

After ruining nearly half of my young age I think it isn't worth that much.
