I’m a firm believer that you’ll never know if you like something unless you try it. Why be scared of spicy food when there’s a chance that your tastebuds would love it? And there’s no reason to be terrified of rollercoasters unless you’ve experienced the thrill of riding one!
But sometimes, the risks definitely outweigh the potential rewards, and it’s just not worth it to try everything. Redditors have recently been discussing activities, habits and more that they refuse to ever dip their toes into. So enjoy scrolling through this list, and be sure to upvote the things that you’ll happily go your entire life without trying too!

Go to a high school reunion! High school was a miserable experience for me and I have no desire to relive it.
Alexia 1 year ago (edited)
I feel you. Highschool was an awful period for me, as I had to deal with bullying, harassment and envy. Additionally, my family was struggling with poverty and domestic violence; some of my colleagues knew it and used to make mean remarks about it. Who would want to return to that?
Grenelda Thurber 1 year ago
I went to one, out of curiosity. Decided I wasn't ever going again, because these people weren't my friends when we lived in the same town and attended the same school. At this point they're strangers who look vaguely familiar. I've stayed in touch with the people who I consider friends from high school. I weirdly got voted "The Person Who Has Changed the Most" though. No trophy or anything, so that was disappointing. :)

I miss my cave surveying days, I've been places no one else has been, and most likely no one ever will be again. Passages just high enough to squeeze you body thru with you head turned sideways because it half filled with water. Finding you way thru an endless maze of breakdown just to push that passage as far as you can and then hoping you can find your way back out of it. Seeing all the formations that have taken countless years to form. Doing bat counts was always a welcome plus. What I hated most was having to go into commercial caves and clean up the trash that visitors left behind, some humans show no respect for caves and their beauty.

The Cruise (2024): Thousands of strangers knowingly board a 200,000 gross tonne metal ship, trapped in tiny compartments only to emerge for bacteria infected meals, torturous "entertainment", forced activities and the "opportunity" to spend hard-earned money in overpriced shops.

It is not possible for a voice activated device to function unless it is listening to every sound in the house, and interpreting what it means.

Give birth. I'm not a fan of children and the whole ordeal looks terrifying.

I totally get why it is not for everyone to want kids! It is such an insane thing, really. I now have 3 kids and I still sometimes wonder how the f I am even surviving this. On the other hand, just one smile from my kids or holding their hands... and my heart just melts and I know that this motherhood-thing is going just well. I still wonder how I'm actually getting through this and sometimes ask myself why I even started with having kids. Giving birth was wild in many ways. And I am glad I will not have to go through it again. But I also think they made me stronger as a person and I feel more strength with my own being.

Same. Ever since I was a child I have not been able to stand really hot spicy food. It disagrees with my stomach to the point I’m almost sick, so I avoid it like the plague (my stomach has saved me from a lot of misery, because it does the same to me if I drink more than a couple glasses of anything alcoholic). Of course, I would marry a man who goes for the hottest and spiciest food he can find, and when we were first married he tried a couple times to get me to taste it, but I told him I can’t try it because I will get sick. Once he found out from my family, who witnessed me get sick from it when I was a child, that he really didn’t want to push me into trying food like that unless he wanted to hold my hair back while I puked my guts out, he stopped trying to wheedle me into trying any food that’s hot and spicy.

I am a very intelligent person. When I was 22 I went to a lecture from some guru from India who was the latest spiritual hot thing for the Eastern philosophy/Newage crowd. It was my first and last experience hearing someone with charisma and a magnetic personality speak. When I left the lecture, I was all excited about going on to the next step of his program. Then as I walked the two miles home in the cold winter of Buffalo, I cooled off and started to rationally analyze what he claimed. It all made very little sense. But his personal presence was overwhelming.

Prime cult target attitudes. Overly confident, thinking we know better than others. Asking if we MIGHT be susceptible to a cult, is being questioning. We are all unquestioning believers of something. All they have to do is convince us that they support something we think we already believe, and our confidence is now evangelism and puritanism.

No. A journalist claimed it without evidence, repeating an assertion by a witness with zero expertise, before the helmet had been examined by experts. He followed up by claiming that it being investigated proved it was the cause. Hearsay and a total incomprehension of what "investigate" means. People crash with helmet-mounted cameras all the time. Nobody else has ever claimed that the camera caused a massive traumatic brain injury.

It was great for a brief time when I was young, but lost its allure pretty quickly. I found out I enjoyed partying with a mix of people of all ages, like with friends and family, where there are kids playing together, teenagers hanging out with each other, and adults listening to music (often chosen by the teenagers, but strictly monitored for content and kept at a volume where you don’t have to shout at each other to be heard), and talking with each other. The stories people can tell, especially the older people, can be so interesting you don’t want them to stop. No one is flirting, or trying to pick anyone up, or getting sloppy drunk. Everyone is behaving, being nice, talking, dealing with their kids when they have to. Just a nice time. Not a wild one, but a nice one. I always went home (alone, of course) after parties like that feeling so much happier and more relaxed than I ever did when I went to the clubs. Bonus: I also never went home from those parties smelling like the bottom of a dirty ashtray from all the smokers in the club (this was the eighties), and in dire need of a shower before going to bed because my hair stunk from cigarette smoke and would give me a headache. I would even have to immediately put my clothes in the wash, because they’d soaked up so much smoke they’d make the whole damned house stink if I just put them in the dirty clothes hamper. Yeah no, I really do NOT miss those days.

I always thought what would happen if your spouse came home and said they wanted a divorce, then got all squirrels about child support and stuff? Here you are, years or decades out of the workforce and having to start from scratch, especially if you married young and didn’t go to college, and you’re earning way too little to adequately support yourself, much less the kids your spouse and their new young squeeze don’t want living with them full time. No, it’s better to at least work part time, even if you only start when the kids are old enough to be in school, and have your foot in the door somewhere you could end up working full time if necessary, or at least have as a recent job on your resume. Besides, everyone needs something all their own, even when they’re married, and the job could be a big source of satisfaction, as well as extra cash that’s all yours (good idea to save it just in case you end up needing it someday, even if you and your spouse stay together forever).

As you get older and you and your spouse stay together and if there are any kids and they get on there own, you have money saved up to do other things such as go on vacations and travel. Or you can retire early.

I was a SAHM during the day and a nurse who worked evenings and nights. It put food on the table.

The thread is about "things people refuse to do". If you refuse to earn a million dollars, then I will gladly step into the role on your behalf

Get a tattoo.

Nowadays you're more of a rebel if you DON'T have one. I got mine many decades ago when only sailors and jailbirds got them. People were shocked! But now I just look pure vanilla..

Have no tattoos but I was one of the first guys to sport an earring locally. Lots of muttering and whispers but within a few months everyone had one..

I won't get any, either. Well, any MORE. Well, after this next one...

I feel the same. I don’t have any tattoos, but my husband does. He wanted them when he got them, and they’re not offensive at all—-which he knows is a line in the sand for me, even though he’s the same—-so if they make him happy, then I’m happy for him.

Tattoos are permanent, and I know how bad I am at long-term decisons.

When I was working there was a female temp that always wore a long sleeve on one of her arms. Always wonder why. One day I asked her why she wore a long sleeve. She pulled it up a little bit. She had a tattoo on her arm. I assumed she was either embarrassed about it or regretted getting it.

That was widely misreported. There is no statistically significant link between lymphoma and tattoos according to Harvard Med https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/do-tattoos-cause-lymphoma-202407193059

Watch Game of Thrones.

I only watched it to see Jason Momoa (became a fan from his Stargate Atlantis days and I'm happy he hit the big time - he's a love). I should have gone with my instincts and stopped watching when his character died. But I'd gotten sucked in. How I wish I'd stopped after season 1.

Or any of the Twilight movies or shows and the Harry Potter movies or anything along those lines.

I managed to get only 30 minutes through the first episode. I got the impression it was just a vehicle to show primitive soft porn scenes.

Hot air balloons.

This is the third item that I tried once and enjoyed it. Still waiting for "ride in a glider." At altitude, the pilot was kind enough to point out a glider that had crashed lol.

I have experienced riding a sea glider. Not much excitement at all. Would luv to try hot air balloon! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁👍

I’ve never eaten sushi and never will raw fish isn’t appealing!

Oh, damn, you're really missing out. Sushi is a godsend, I could eat it every single day.

I have a severe allergy to fish, and I can’t even eat the vegetarian stuff because it’s prepared on the same place as the fish. The only way I can it it is by making it myself, and it’s also my favorite food.

There's so many options without raw fish though! I don't eat fish at all but still enjoy all kinds of sushi without.
T'Mar of Vulcan 1 year ago
Exactly! Get cucumber or avo maki or a vegetarian hand roll.

I was the same. I was about 35 the first time I gave it a legit chance and it's now probably my favorite foods. That hot Wasabi hit is euphoric. I couldn't get over the raw fish aspect either so I started with some of the cooked rolls, then california rolls and spicy tuna. Now I'll eat just about any of it. There are some types I'm not fond of like squid roe and octopus but love 90% of sushi and sashimi.

It wasn't made right then. Good octopus isn't like that, still kinda chewy, but not like rubber.

Tuna is the most common sushi fish. What exactly do you use tuna as bait for?
Load More Replies... Mason Kronol 1 year ago
I never thought I would like sushi. I now love tuna California rolls. My husband likes the shrimp rolls. Any excuse to get wasabi in my mouth! Before the pandemic Outback had a great Ahi appetizer. Weird because of my IBS issues, I can’t eat pork and limit my red meat but raw tuna is fine.
Reflecting on the experiences people choose to avoid helps us understand the importance of personal growth and the pursuit of deeper connections.
By considering the concept of an anti-bucket list, you can re-evaluate what truly matters and focus on meaningful experiences.

Do you believe in trying everything at least once? No. I draw a hard line against incest, pedophilia, necrophilia and bėastality. I don’t do drůgs either. The question should be are you willing to try anything that doesn’t cause harm to others? Often, the answer should still be no because hurting yourself hurts others.

All of those except a cruise, Game of Thrones (was good, got terrible at the end) and LinkedIn (we had a mandatory course that was on there - since I retired it's a way to keep in touch with former colleagues without giving out too much personal info). They used to say to try everything once except incest and Morris dancing. They also say that parachutists and virgins have one thing in common - they can only make a mistake once.

I will never try hard street d rugs. I’m too afraid of getting addicted. It’s not even something I want to try.

For me it's not the fear of getting addicted, but the lack of control. I've had, amongst other things, morphine, in quite high doses and for quite a long time. As my pain levels dropped I realised that I really did not like the "I don't give a shot about anything" feeling it brings, which is, I think, what some addicts crave. Reducing the dose and stopping when I no longer needed it was not difficult. Yes, I realise that some of the other stuff allegedly much harder to stop, but I just never felt the desire for them. I mean, alcohol, sure, but...
