I think it varies a lot. I’m 47.
I talk about travel, things I want to do, my fears, funny things I’ve heard, female health issues, trying to plan getting together with friends, possible financial investments, all sorts of things. It depends who I am talking too. Scientific discoveries, medical advances, and interesting trivia. I used to talk about politics more, but I pretty much dropped most of that unless the other person brings it up. I stopped watching 95% of the political shows I was watching on TV and it has been a great help.
Let’s see what else? Lately, I am having a really hard time with something and so a lot of my conversations have centered around that, but that won’t last forever, and doesn’t have much to do with my age.
I’m trying to figure out the patterns in my life. Some of my closest girlfriends are in that same mode.
I talk about wanting to simplify my life. I feel like I am less able to handle complexity and my life is not in my control. I want to reign it all in. I feel like I am starting to go backwards.
I like to hear stories about other people’s lives. Their adventures and disappointments.
People talk about their kids, but not in ridiculous amounts.
