Does anyone else feel like they are losing their innocence with age?

[KaniPi]

As I am getting older, I am seeing what reality is really like, and this changes you. I feel like I have become more colder, and cynical, whereas I used to be more friendly and innocent in the sense that I did not think twice about trusting others. Now, even when I introduce myself to someone, I'm not as open.

 

Also, I used to play video games, watch anime, and really be into Kpop... but I am gradually losing interest in these types of things.

 

I think its the same for people who are teenagers now, that they're not really going to be into things that are for 5 years old, because they have moved on. 

 

I don't know, it feels weird, because I never thought I would really change, but I have, and I am which I feel is out of my control.

 

Even for marriage, I hated the idea of that, even children, but now...well I just see it as a natural want.

 

I'm in my early 20's...

i think this applies to eveyrone >< dont worry you are normal

[doki-doki]

I'm in agreement with you.

[Tayenne]

That is just part of growing up, nothing to worry about. 

People who don't feel like this and feel stuck actually have it worse tbh.

[Arthur Morgan]

same , im 19 and when im already reminiscing about my younger days

 

as a kid i never wanted to be married either, i was like fk dat ill just stay with a girlfriend forever, but now im like i dont wanna die alone and lonely lol

 

but at the end of the day, life is what your perspective makes it to be, its neither good or bad, you choose that for yourself

[GalaxunnieSuperOppa]

I'm trying to get rid of my rising cynical attitude, even though I'm not even old yet!

[Tokki the Awkward Potato]

its a good thing

 

you don't want to get older with age but remain naive 

[jellyjelly]

It's too be expected. We become even bigger smart asses though.

[Balancetonquoi]

im 20 now and its the other way around. As a teenager/kid marriage for me looked like a fairy tale. now that my sister is married I can see how its not as perfect as I thought and I dont really want to get married now

[Sana Minatozaki]

I sure did

I love the quote in your sig, lol

[Black Alien Oppa]

im innocent in a perverted way..

[Tayenne]

I love the quote in your sig, lol

well quoted the genious lyrist suga   but I know kinda ironic regarding the thread theme

[eyeballs]

It's just a natural thing. As you get older, you learn more things, and it's really true how ignorance is bliss.

[montchery]

I think it is only normal, as we grow older we are bound to change. The more you mature and gain experience in life the more you learn.

[Kiwii]

Same tbh Im 19 and i feel/think so differently than a couple of years ago. I know its all part of growing up and but it sucks lol.I feel like time is passing by faster than i can live it ? if that makes sense. Like my sense of time changed since i got older and its scary. I reminisce about my childhood a lot and things i used to find interesting are no longer interesting to me.

[solbi296]

It's normal. You grow up and become aware of the reality of the world around you. 

The marriage thing was the other way around for me though. 

[Rapmon's Ahjussi Husband]

In order to get old you need to lose naivity, is almosth mathematical

[kimkibumisking]

what even is innocence

[Larme]

Yeah, and it sucks because I don't want to get older but I also like feeling like a mature young lady so IDK.

[KaniPi]

what even is innocence

 

I don't know, to me its more how you treat people, and present yourself.

 

Innocent person is almost childlike, like either they know people are shit, but still try to be nice and forgiving, because they don't want to be the bad person, and/or they're naive for trusting wholehearted, and then they suffer the consequences when they're taken advantage of.

 

People have said it makes you stronger, but not after a while. Truthfully, to see how society can be so cruel sometimes, you feel genuinely alone. Feels like you can't ever truly be yourself, unless you can be sure that they're the right company, but even then its a gamble.

[Oli London]

I've been cynical and cold since I was a kid.
