What changed things for you?

I absolutely hated going out in my 20s and have hated it more with every passing year. Nothing makes a "night out" any better for me.

Not the person you replied to, but for me it’s because:

  • I have more money now.
  • Unlike in your 20’s where going out almost always meant alcohol is involved and it goes late into the night, the things I do now are more chill and usually end before 11PM, with alcohol optional.

This, but I also have far better taste in things than I did when I was in my 20s. A very very very small part of me is glad I was poor back then because I know I would have spent money on a lot of garbage. Can't say I'm perfect now, but at least it feels like I'm spending it on more useful things and better experiences.

I think I've used the picture + the British use of "going out" (i.e. going to pubs and clubs and getting drunk late into the night).

Having a more relaxed evening out with "alcohol optional" sounds ideal.

Not the person you asked, but a big change for me was where I was going and, with that, who I was with. After I left one town, I became a major recluse, especially when everyone I knew wanted to go to the pool bar or a club. If was fun with the right people, on occasion, but I generally ended up not having a great night.

Lately, I've gotten back into theatre, especially little local groups putting on interactive shows and such. Been having an amazing time with it, met some great people, really changed how I felt having plans for a night.
