Originally posted by jennypie I've never really had emotional extremes. I guess having a rough few years in my childhood taught me how to cope rationally with shit from an early age. There's only been 2 or 3 events in my life that I can say I felt extreme sadness over. I'm also not overly sensitive to begin with. As for feelings of happiness/joy...I still get excited about little things very easily.

Same, although anger has never been much of a problem for me.

But, I can't really relate to most statement about ageing. For example, people say that, the older the get, the slower their favourite tunes is.

Well, I still can't get tired of listening to drum'n'bass and punk ska

Makes me think of another question...

For those of you who experience extremes less often than before: If you could choose to go back to living those "extremes" of happiness and sadness, would you?

I'm not sure if I would.

Why not? Being passionate is sure more fun than being an icy robot

It depends a lot. Sometimes I wish I could get as excited about things as I used to, that's basically the only thing that saddens me about it. As for the anger, sadness, and other extreme types of emotions... not so much.

I do like feeling emotions though, and as I get older it just all seems to blend together more and more. I find that a little depressing.

One can still feel things very deeply without being a blithering idiot.


edit: Not that you're a blithering idiot. Just sayin'.

But, I didn't (mean to) say you needed to be a blithering idiot. Did I? (seriously, I thought "emotional wreck" could be used just for people who are really - really - emotional... is it not the right expression?)

Well, to me, "emotional wreck" means a person who hasn't got a grip on their emotions.

Yeah, I feel basically the same way.

I'm not sure that the euphoric times would be worth going through all that angst and depression again, though.
