Chasing after friends who don't put in the same energy into friendships. It can be isolating at times but I've made my peace and focus on those who do care. 
Toxic family members - thanks to the first lockdown I was able to step away and see the situation for what it is. Now I keep my family at an arms length and don't let their little jabs at me take root. My partners family are brilliant and the complete opposite to mine. I even phone her mum instead of mine when I have a problem because my mum tries to turn it around and make the situation all about her.
Caring what others think about me. I've recently been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and just don't have the energy to care what people think about me anymore. I'll go to the shops with no make up on now and hair in a bun because i'm simply too exhausted to bother to get dressed up to buy a loaf of bread, and I no longer care about the stares that I get for looking like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards. Before I was making myself burn out by trying to make sure my hair and makeup was done perfectly and no one noticed anyway!!!!

Diet Coke. I used to drink gallons of the stuff everyday, but haven’t touched any for ten years.
Clubbing and going to pub/bars. Such a waste of money these days. Now I'm 33 and just never had much interest in going out clubbing or drinking for years. I rarely drink too, so makes sense.
crappy friends and smoking
I see this happen alot in friendships.. mine included. Why can't the people who are willing to put effort it find each other and be friends?Chasing after friends who don't put in the same energy into friendships. It can be isolating at times but I've made my peace and focus on those who do care.
I 100% agree with this! A much loved family member always said that people confuse kindness with weakness and I’ve come to realise how very true this is. I’ll be joining you in giving up trying too hard to be kind/nice to people because all it earns me is the disregard of others.
I’m so glad to have found this thread
It’s made me also resolve to give up Diet Coke and worrying about how others see me.
A recent one for me is stopping saying ‘no’ to things e.g. last minute plans. I’ve started being more spontaneous and I’m the happiest I’ve been in 2 years
