Things you loved as a kid but not as a teen/adult.

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

School...liked it as a kid but not anymore

[StarGazer 129]

 

Pretty accurate.

 

Almost accurate except those aren't G1 ponies where it says G1 But I loved G1 back then and like it now as well as G4 and didn't care for Transformers then and don't know (I can't say that I dislike them because I never really watched it).

 

I'm halfway convinced I should revisit my video game obsession. I have fun playing the Sims (well, I'm not having fun with the Sims 3 because guess what? It's too EXPENSIVE!!!!!! I can't get the expansion packs I loved the Sims2 but I guess soon I'll be kissing the Sims goodbye) and I noodle around on internet games (I played Bella Sera the Magical World of Horses and like it ).

I just realized I got rid of a lot of my interests due to money... note to self, get a cheap hobby. At least i can still read. My love of books has never wavered. But let me guess, soon books will be made out of special expensive paper and all I'll be able to afford to do for entertainment is put up shadow puppet plays on the wall. Gotta go practice my bunny shadow.

I used to be really into video games; now I can go days or weeks without touching a single one.

 

I used to be extremely picky about food, and would refuse to eat most things entirey; now I'm more than happy to try just about anything, and on occasion drop offensive amounts of money on meals.

 

I used to be extremely hateful and spiteful, and reveled in casual cruelty over the internet in games and within communities; now not so much.

[Killian Jones 2,655]

I grew out of many things, for instance, as kid I could stand listening to most genres of music, now I can't. Pop music specifically has become distasteful to me.

[ScottishUnicorn 284]

I used to be obsessed with anime, now I generally can't stand it. There are some good ones, but most of them are terrible.

[RainbowPat 1]

i used to friggin love pokemon; so much that i wanted to be one haha. But nowadays, my love for pokemon is practically non existent, but i do still enjoy playing the games every so often.

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

So what are some things that you used to enjoy as a child but after years of growing up and other such non-fun stuff have lost interest in?

 

For me, personally, my tastes in food have changed completely over the years. I used to eat just about anything (except for spinach; that stuff is just gross), but nowadays I'm extremely picky because my taste buds just don't agree with a lot of food. As a kid I LOVED mushrooms, these days I wrinkle my nose in disgust at them. Same thing goes for onions and many other things. I don't know what happened. @_@

 

As far as an activity that I used to do as a kid that I no longer do, I don't enjoy collecting Nintendo memorabilia anymore. I suppose it's probably due to the fact that I have to buy my own knick-knacks these days, but the passion for such a hobby just isn't there anymore. No more Mario figurines, so long Luigi plushies and au revoir stuffed DK toy! I don't even know where my old collectibles are anymore. :/

 

but I love spinach D:

 

I loved Barney now I curse the day he was invented

I was a closet Barney fan as a kid. In fact we all actually watched it but we'd rather die than admit it.

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Kindergarden through 3rd grade I hated reading, even though I read just fine and dandy,

4th grade to 7th grade loved reading read a chapter book in less than a week

now in 8th grade I'm neutral about books, I don't hate them I read it whenever I'm told to by my teachers, but ponies took over my time XD

[SPLinux 380]

i used to like very cold baths, and eating LOADS of ketchup, i still

like ketchup but not as much as i used to.

[rainbow_dashFTW 1]

In all honesty, I have not grown out of any of my childhood interests..... Or those in my teenage years as well, I may from time to time keep them hidden from people, but I still love my Redwall novels (I have all 23 of them, plus the extras), tv shows from when I was a child, like Transformers, Voltron, The Sooty and Sweep Show.

 

Always loved sports and I still do.... Music has changed, kind of, I still like the same music as I did 20 years ago, but just my horizons have broadened and have accepted different styles of music into my life.

 

I guess I will always be a big kid at heart..... I may get older, but I will never grow up

My older brother used to like ketchup on cereal.......

[83awsm 234]

_{I used to watch TV all the time and play some video games, but now I don't really have the time for it. Also, I used to be really picky about what I ate, although I was obsessed with Pringles lol idk why, but nowadays I really don't care as much and will eat whatever.} Edited January 15, 2012 by 83awsm

There was this Japanese cartoon I really liked to watch when I was a wee filly. It's about a super hero who is bread, and the main antagonist is an ant. Last year, I had peritonitis, and was on the hospital bed, bored. My mom had brought from home some of the disks of my beloved cartoon. I hadn't watched it since I was around 6. I put it in my laptop and watched it. And when I realized it was very childish, and I no longer like it, like Skullbuster, I was like "NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

 

I also used to like watching ultraman (it was in Japanese, which I did not understand, but what gives. The fighting scenes were cool) Now I don't watch it anymore.

 

When I was a filly I didn't really like garlic. Now, I can eat raw garlic with anything (with the exception of dairy items)

 

That must be the anime called Anpanman, it's really popular among children in Japan, as for me, I used to watch a lot of cartoons when I was younger, now I just stick to a select few and anime

Back in the day I loved to be alone, all by myself. I usually would play alone or sit at home all the time. But now, somehow I'm feeling the consequences of being alone, so I try to be more active and start talking to people. And you know what? Now I like being near people and friends, even though it's a bit hard for me.

 

I used to be obsessed with games too. If you would of given me a new game that I have never seen before back then, I would probably "no life" all day 'n' night. But now I'm less interested in games, mainly because I can see that I'm missing the best moments of my life - my youth.

 

Oh, and I loved eating everything with ketchup... I remember someone saying that I could eeven eat nails if someone gave me enough ketchup.

[Swift 43]

Personally i am the oposite as a kid i was kind of depressing i liked nothing but as i grew up i started trying new things like MLP.

[Ele77 30]

Like you said, Food has changed massively for me. Eve if am buying food I rarely ever buy anything diffrent.

 

 

The scary moment when you realize if there was someone hired to kill you, it would take mere days for them to work out your patterns

[Fluttershy4life 150]

I'm still a lot like my younger self in most ways but when i was 5 i used to love bacon i used to eat it all the time, now i can't stand the smell of it

[Neko-Chan 34]

Some of my food tastes have changed although I still dislike a lot of the same things I did as a kid (mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, orange juice, coffee, etc...) I started liking zucchini in the last couple of years, which I used to hate. A few others things too but I can't think of any offhand.

I don't like ice cream or pizza as much as I used to, but that is mostly because I developed lactose intolerance a few years ago and now I can't eat those things without getting stabbing stomach pains.

I used to hate miso soup and not be able to stomach any fish sushi (only ate veggie rolls) but now I like some types of fish sushi and can stomach the rest without gagging which I couldn't back then, and I love miso soup.

I seem to remember that I used to like some flavors of yogurt when I was a little kid but I can't stand any type of yogurt now, or any sauce made with yogurt, etc...

 

I used to LOVE Pokemon when I was younger but after they started adding all those other characters (beyond the original 151) I totally lost interest. I still have all the Pokemon merchandise I collected back then though... Also back when I was crazy about Pokemon I did not watch much other anime but in the last ~6-7 years or so I started watching a lot more.

I also used to collect old 80s toys but I stopped that years ago, I just lost interest... I still like them enough to keep them but I don't buy anymore. I also used to buy a lot of My Little Pony stuff (G1, G3 mostly) but not in the last several years. I still like MLP of course and I did back then too so that hasn't changed.

 

I never liked Barney and never watched unless my neighbor's kid made me watch it with her. I did like Arthur though, and I still have been known to watch an episode now and then.

[GrooveBroove 680]

I can't really think of anything I Liked as a kid that I dislike now?

 

If anything I woul say Yugioh, only because I was never a big fan to begin with and just got the stuff, because it was the cool thing at the time.

[Sepia-chan 495]

When I was younger, I liked watching this,

, but now I absolutely despise it.

I also liked spaghetti, but now I can't eat it.

[Aureity 3,055]

I used to be extraordinarily talkative, athletic (as much as you can get from youth soccer, swimming, and basketball, that is ) and self-confident...now I'm usually the shy guy sitting alone in the back of class with a laptop propped open. You'd think maturing helps you, but I guess not... http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png

[Big Bill Hell 123]

I used to be a big fan Harry Potter. I don't hate it now, but i don't really like. but ill still watch Deathly Hallows pt.2, just to see the series to it's end.

[RippedOffMattress 314]

Racing games. They're pretty boring to me now.

[WildCard 1,037]

Things that had that "forbidden feeling" back as a young adult such as violent games, horror movies, and so on. I still like ego-shooter, but gore has lost most of it's appeal.

Apart from that I pretty much still love the stuff I loved back then and a few more things I learned to love with time.

I don't see myself as adult at all and I always want to stay a bit of a child in my heart

Apart from the music I've listened of course, they was terrible xD

Loved video games. Still do, but... my passion for them has faded significantly because they just aren't releasing what I like anymore. (Not to say that all new games are crappy, it's just I am extremely picky and limited in my selection, and none of them cater to my tastes.) I think that's because I used to use video games to escape a crappy and lonely life without any friends... and now I have friends, so I'm distracted with them and don't play as much anymore. Find myself unable to pay much attention to them... I really should try to fix that and play more.

 

Same here, except they still make games I love like Mario and Zelda but I just can't find time to play them anymore or I don't have much interest for some reason. I still play games from time to time but just not nearly as much as I used to. Like you, I would like to take more time to play them.

 

Besides that, I can't really think of anything either. I still like most everything I liked as a kid.
