"I had that interest when I've been younger, but not anymore."

Should be "I had that interest when I was younger, but not anymore."

I thought you might like the correction; forgive me if I'm wrong. In my experience, differences in the idiomatic use of verb tenses is one of the more difficult things about learning languages.

If you hear a native English speaker say, "I've been younger," then what they're saying is, "I'm old."

Yah. I can do better. But not when being awake for 23hrs, reading, reading, reading. Not doomscrolling. And switching to HN from time to time.

Good night :-)
