Once I retired, I realized what a strain it had been getting up and going to work every day, doing stuff that was often boring, and having to commute. For the first few years I was great. Now I gradually am becoming unable to do anything requiring willpower. I rarely go out, only to the same few places. At home, I am letting friendships fade away, failing to clean, not even doing hobbies I used to like. I'm not bored, just scared of the walls closing in eventually. There are still some things I like to do, like eat and sleeping, watching TV and scrolling. Does anyone else find that willpower eroding is the biggest downside of aging?
