Have you gotten less emotional as you've gotten older?

I've noticed that as I've gotten older I haven't experienced emotional extremes (either extreme sadness or extreme happiness) nearly as often as I used to. Things seem to affect me a lot less, even things that always used to be able to provoke a big emotional response in me, like favorite music or books.
Any of you guys noticed a similar trend in yourselves? |

| yea. it's just natural conditioning sort of. u get used to the more you see and do, which comes naturally as you get older. |

| Not really. I don't get angry the way I used to, but for most other emotions it's been the opposite if anything. |

| I wouldn't say less emotional, but definately more emotionally mature. |

Yeah, basically I meant still experiencing emotion, but with fewer extremes. Less "tempestuously" emotional.
:p |

Yeah pretty much. It's like someone applied a dynamic range compressor on my emotions. |

I've never really had emotional extremes. I guess having a rough few years in my childhood taught me how to cope rationally with 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. I don't think I'll ever lose that. If I was going to, it would have happened a long time ago I think. |
