“As A Kid, I Always Wondered Why Adults Would Do That”: 24 Things People Started Liking Over Time
Article created by: Ieva Pečiulytė
As we grow older, lots of things change, and they’re not all related to knee pain or joint problems. People’s likes and dislikes tend to be altered by time as well, making something we dreaded as kids sound way more appealing years later.
Vegetables, quality socks, reading—these are just a few examples of such things. They were shared by members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community, after one of the users asked them what they started liking more the older they got. Scroll down to find some more of their answers and see if there’s something you grew to like as well.

Legos…I’m 42 and just started playing with Legos.

Not drinking alcohol. Hangovers feel worse, it’s an expensive habit, and it’s not as fun as it used to be.

I am very happy with my own company. Not a shut in at all, but certainly don't feel compelled to always be chasing social contact. A weekend with nothing to do, and no social commitments sounds to me like a rare treat!
But all folks are different. I've also known people who are basically the human equivalent of Labrador dogs - contantly needing attention and stroking, and who get sulky and cross (and bitey) when they don't get it.
We all exist on a continuum of introversion/extraversion, and that's fine. But it's the extravert's fallacy that anyone who is happy with their own company must be somehow unfulfilled or leading a lesser life. Some of us prefer to quietly read a book.
Just because I am happy with my own company and don't need a constant audience doesn't mean I am not happy and fulfilled in a life I find meaningful, rewarding, and authentic.

reading.
Imagination is free, so nobody cheaps on writing complex and detailed escenes. Also, you actually know what the characters are thinking and feeling, so you have a deeper connection with the characters.
#9
Art museums.
Used to think they were pretentious and boring growing up. Over time, thought about the process and effort it really takes to make that kind of work.
Whole new perspective.
#11
Vegetables and healthier food in general
It's like you can almost feel that hp boost after eating some greens
#12
Tea instead of coffee. I used to pound coffee. But now it aggravates reflux and generally upsets my stomach more.
A nice cup of tea especially earl grey with milk really does the trick.
#14
I used to hate sleeping up through high school because it kept me from doing things I wanted to do and made school come faster.
Now I can't get enough of it.
#16
Reading.
I’m dyslexic and had to take special reading classes in school so I got bullied and reading has always just kinda been a chore. Now that I’m graduated and out on my own, I liked to enjoy the peace and quiet and dig through a book. Use my brain a little bit
#19
Vinegar.
I absolutely HATED pickles, olives, and vinegar chips as a kid.
I am now at the “extra pickles and banana peppers” phase of my sandwich journey through life.
#24
All foods I didn't like when I was younger. Now I just don't care, Fish? Sure Eggplant? Delicious. Runny eggs? Yes Please. I still find the odd thing I don't like but if very rare now.
