I used to draw a lot- but not much anymore.  :bluesad:
And I really miss drawing.

Saving the planet. I still recognise that it is a good idea, but I just don't seem to have any enthusiasm for it anymore despite how passionate I was about it previously.

Watching The Warriors (1979) complete. Not interested in watching it anymore.

I have almost totally lost interest in going to the cinema / theater: I used to go several times a month and it was an event for me. Not so much anymore.

The last movie I saw in the cinema was Wonder Woman 1984 and that was in December 2020.  :buggedout:

Reading Joyce Carol Oates in my teens and twenties.

Me too. I drew a lot when I was a kid. I got an art kit for Christmas one year. Then about 7 or 8 years ago I bought a really nice set of colored pencils, regular pencils and chalk. I'd draw almost every night after work. Then I just stopped for some reason. I still watch art videos on YouTube once in a while.

Collecting comic books. I was an absolute fanatic during the 80s/90s when I was in my teens and early twenties, but stopped paying attention in the mid 90s when I realized I was spending tons of $$ on comics but not really enjoying them like I used to. By the year 2000, I had sold off the bulk of my collection (nearly 5000 books) aside from one box of personal favorites.

I had a brief renaissance a couple of years ago when my then-ten-year-old son became obsessed with the new comic book shop that opened in our town. We were regulars there for about a year, but they weren't in business for very long and once they closed up, so did my renewed fandom.

I like to say that I still love and respect the comic book as an art form, but I just don't have the time/energy/storage space to ever get back into collecting whole hog. Nowadays I occasionally borrow a graphic novel collection from the library to re-read some oldies but goodies and that's about as far as I go.   

I collected comics from around age 5 or 6 until around age 17. Then I sold them all. I'm back into it now, but I have a hard time reading most comics published after 1990. They just aren't fun. So, the great majority of my purchases now are Silver and Bronze Age comics . . . and some Golden Age for good measure.

In the 1980s I collected postcards and records.  Most of each are long gone. 

Bookbinding and restoring old books. I took some classes in this in the mid-'00s, enjoyed it, and then abruptly lost interest.

cooking for anyone but us.  :bluesad: :thumbdown:

When I was a little kid I was really big into Oceanography.  I used to love reading about the ocean and the different things in it, and I just gradually over time stopped. 

this - I just don't feel comfortable going to the theater right now

I used to hunt when I was in my 20's. Never killed much.
I continued to walk out in the woods all my life until lately, because of health problems.

I've seen only ONE movie in a cinema since the pandemic started: SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME. About a decade ago, I'd go to the movies two or three3 times a month. Then I cut it down to maybe once or twice a month. Now it's almost never.

Comedy - used to like listening to various comedians a lot but lately so much of it seems meh.  With guys like John Pinette and Robin Williams being gone it just doesn't hold the same appeal it used to.  I used to be really into Jeff Foxworthy and his redneck shtick but it just doesn't really appeal to me all that much anymore. 

Crossdressing. *

*Yes, I am serious.

Bowling
Reading hard science fiction (I mean, I would read a good sci-fi novel if it was highly recommended, but I no longer am interested in the genre by itself)

I still like to go bowling every so often.  Just have to find an alley up here in Minneapolis that's close to my place.

Arguing about religion.

I used to write and record music but skateboarding fills that role now. I need to get some kind of 4 track recording set up going on my laptop.

Sanity.

Sci fi/ outer space still like the old school stuff but lost all interest ocean/ nature stuff fascinated me as a child but now just bores me horror/ monster movies just got too jaded/ burned out on the genre.

Watching Professional Sports, glad I flushed it all out of my life years ago. So much more time to be productive, like watching trashy movies.

watching sports shows

when I was a kid there were a wide variety of shows with various formats, now it seems like they are all the same full of hot takes which I hate
