Just curious,

 

 

I have a lot of them myself since you never outgrow them, I cant think of very many that I did.

 

...I guess the only phase I outgrew was the shitty supernatural YA novels, but only the shitty ones.

 

As for childhood I did end up outgrowing my like of Fig newtons for some reason. Dont know why.

My music taste has changed drastically

I went from metal to rap, then to loud electronic shit, then to.. Indie. Then to even chiller Indie. I don't really know how. But I've settled

And I've been letting my music tastes influence my choice in fashion

After my exam week is over, I'm gonna join the RocSoc at my uni and start meeting cool people who like what I like

Well, when I was a kid (I was around 8 or 9), I got my first ever Rayman game, and I developed a crush on him instantly. Definitely something I thought I'd outgrow.

Even to this day, I look at Rayman, and I just want to bang him, over and over and over.

In fact, I'll extend this to generally "having obsessive crushes on/falling in love with fictional characters".

3 things that would stand out would be digimon, starcraft and doom. Occasionally I go back to these things to 're-experience' them and bring back memories and the fondness for them.

Everything else morphed into other interests, dunno how only those stood the test of time for me. R.I.P giant wallpaper of Halo :V

I grew out of basic wooden building blocks, k'nex sometime after it disappeared in the mid 2000s (after big fancy sets that you could build into things like a phoenix , chimera  and a few clan mechs from a mechwarrior thing at the time) before coming back.

I also stopped doing IT when I found I couldn't code well and got sick of family calling me to fix tech  problems I didn't know how to. 

My music taste changed from generic pop to various 60s 70s and 80s stuff reletivly recently.

Heelys...which I figuratively havent grown out of but literally have

 

Honestly I really liked heelys as a kid and wish it wasnt weird to use them in adulthood, I would rebuy them in my soze :[

I'd like to see adults wearing those. Then again, I ride a kick scooter at work so I'm admittedly weird.

I never grew up.

But in all seriousness, I grew out of:

Star Wars, Halo, being an asshole teen, being a selfish child. That sorta thing

I never grew out of my fixation for cleaning myself. I still shower far too often, although I don't wash my hands as much anymore.

I didn't outgrow animated movies or TV shows. So long as they're watchable and not overly kiddie crap. I also never outgrew junk food. Never lost my sweet tooth but being an adult has made having to be responsible about it somewhat less fun.

I have outgrown video games for the most part. But that's mostly because I have picked up numerous more creative hobbies and simply don't have the time to sit through video games anymore. I still make time for some old favourites like KH or Dust when I'm feeling nostalgic. Nothing PS3 era or onward though, really.

I've grown out of a dozen silly things, habits like taking people for granted (I hope I really have) and acting too quickly on an impulse. I have retained, I think, a little of the childlike sort of naive optimism we start out with but too many lose. I still like to hoard my books, and I have a little teddy bear my uncle gave to me.

I think that whatever things really are good for children aren't worth growing out of.

I've grown out of LEGOs and playing pretend soldier also known as airsoft.  Though on the other hand I'm a grown man who has kept and cherishes his stuffed animals.  I confuse myself at times.

Sometimes, even as an adult I wish I never sold my set of LEGOS away. It had a pretty nice collection and building things with LEGOS has always been fun

Some stuff I used to like I just don't or can't put money into or find anyone to enjoy it with. Like Nerf blasters. Have you seen how fucking COOL those things are getting? Look up the Nerf Rivals line or the Nerf Mastodon. Badass. But...who am I gonna shoot? Legos are expensive. And Yugioh cards are expensive (fuck Dimension Barrier is $80...) so I just use YGOPro. And I largely grew out of anime. Watched it a lot growing up and went to anime cons, but I can't stand it anymore. Usually anyway. 

I don't think I outgrew plushies. I never will.
