To you and @Dr. Wesker , how old are we talking about? Roughly after how many decades this becomes something you notice- and does it keep building up?
I’m in my mid 30s and I can agree I don’t feel anywhere as intensely as I did ten years ago, but for me this is a bug, not a feature. So I’m really curious about how others have fared in this regard
It sounds like a BS answer, but it’s true. My personal experience is that the older I’ve gotten, the less I’m affected by the world around me. My best guess is the experience of time can lend coping mechanisms, under the proper circumstances I’m sure.
I get the sentiment, but what is it rooted in? Extreme experiences giving you a new perspective making old anxieties feel like nothing. That’s just statistics. That’s saying that the longer you live, the more likely you are to experience those kinds of things.
Get older.
Working on it.
Oh yeah, for sure, my emotions have all gotten less. Less high, less low, I’ve just chilled out in every direction

Weird.

It’s just not actionable. It’s not something you can do.
That’s a fair take. But I will say that we just grew a little older together, and I’ll take your point to heart when dealing with others.

I don’t know, I just live here.
It is something you will do though. So you can rest easy on that part. Sometimes the best course of action is to do nothing.
