Do people become boring when they age?
I (M28) have a group of very close friends since high school, most of us quite nerdy. We would play board games and video games, go on hiking trips, hang out randomly for a laugh... The tone was in general quite light-hearted and fun, making puns and laughing at inside jokes. Now most of them are in relationships and "getting settled", we hang out less, and when we do I get the impression that all they talk about is careers, mortgages, investments... I miss the fun days.
Its tough to see friends change, but maybe they just need a nudge to remember the fun side of life; try suggesting a game night or

Its not that people become boring; they just get caught up in adulting and forget how to have fun.
Sounds like they traded in fun for adulting; it's a bummer when friendships shift like that.
I totally get what you mean; it feels like life just shifts to all this serious stuff, and you start missing those carefree moments.
