Like you’ve seen everything and now you can only experience things you’ve already experienced.

    Not remotely. If you feel like you’ve seen everything, it might be time to consider a (literal) change of scenery. There are too many places to go, different people to meet and try to understand, books to read, flavors to taste. Seeing it online isn’t the same as seeing it in person with your own eyes. You could go a day’s walk in any direction and likely find something you haven’t seen before. You just have to be looking for it.

    My guess is that you have significantly exhausted the extent of your interests and common interactions. It happens.

    That’s to say, for example, you’ve read, seen, discussed, etc. almost every sci-fi series in existence. There’s some you haven’t interacted with but you would have hit the new ones and all the significant older ones. In which case there’s really nothing left for you to consume besides minutiae/very small things (you ran the well dry).

    The same can said for interactions with people. You’re having the same conversations you’ve had before. Sure some of the specific details change but the core remains the same.

    If this at all sounds right, I’d suggest expanding your interests and social circle. For interests, I’d suggest something close to your current interests and look up the highest rated components of that interest to look into. Using the Sci-fi example, fantasy may be a good place to look and Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Mistborn, etc. maybe be good places to start.

    For people, expanding your social cycle can be tough. If you haven’t already you can try and pair an interest of yours with a group that focuses on that. Example could be RPG gaming and joining a Table Top RPG group. Another option is taking classes in a new interest. You’ll likely meet new people with a similar interest as you. Another option is volunteering. There’s lots of organizations or mutual aid societies out there that would welcome additional members. That’ll give you new people to talk to while helping others (win-win).

    Regardless, best of luck with everything :)

    Quite the opposite. My two main hobbies are tabletop roleplaying and spending time in nature and both of those have an experience space that can’t be explored fully in one lifetime.

    I’m often even confused when people seem to think they need to travel far to gain new experiences and I haven’t even fully explored the nature just outside of my apartment.

    The opposite. I’m afraid I will waste my life procrastinating, not even being aware of what it has to offer.

    Get into folkloristics, it’s pretty fun. You can get into all the Slenderman stuff because it’s literally untapped mystery you can’t just rely on secondhand sources, all the research is centered on one controversy that somehow killed his popularity but not every other religion. My “job” (it’s a hobby) is basically having to read the hundreds of all the Slenderman blog ARGs ranging from 2009 to the present day, as well as all the freaking Slenderman and Creepypasta comics. It’s just interesting how religious patterns emerge out of something spontaneously created on the internet, like Zalgo vs Slenderman having parallels with every other religion with “divine rivalry”. Interesting anthropological subject.

      Or you can read world history that isn’t just Eurocentric stuff. Hell, I bet most people don’t know European History in depth. You can even get into scholarly theology, from Christianity to Hinduism (which btw, is more of an umbrella term as it is composed of multiple religions). Read philosophies like Confucianism, which will help you understand a bit of Chinese culture.

    OP, just how wealthy are you? This is a very rich person assessment to make.
