No.....

im actually a little more emotional...

I think I’ve just come to more points of understanding as I’ve gotten older. Not that I don’t care or don’t feel things. It’s just I’ve seen enough stuff where some stuff don’t surprise me much...

My mom 4'9. That shyt stopped when me and my siblings eclipsed her in height after hitting puberty. I still remember when my younger breh was all like "That's all you got?" the last time she took the belt to him.

My mom was 4'11. The last time she spanked me I chuckled a bit. That was the end of that.

I still get emotional over certain things I legitimately care about, but things that used to make me emotional as a younger person don't have the same effect. I really realized this one day at the airport. I was getting on a plane and I overheard some girls talking about me. Younger me would have eavesdropped and been like, why are they being mean to me? Older me was FUHDEMbytchES, I put my headphones on and moved on with my day. I actually sat back and was like, wow...I've matured in that sense.

Also, some things you just realize are fukked up, nothing you can do about it. Remember how you thought you could change the world? That youthful ambition to really fix society or make a change, now I just want to make my money for me and mine and be comfortable. You become part of the problem with complacency. It's whatever I guess...

I actually feel like the opposite. When I was younger bad things happened to me and I had no control. I became numb bc that was the only way I could deal. As an adult I understand my own power and how I control everything in my life. I feel so much more alive because I know I am in control. I vibrate on a higher level. I feel my highs and lows and those of others so much. My empathy has gone off the charts.

The more heartbreaks I endure the more my heart has become hardened. Now I dont show emotion to anyone but old people and children. It shouldn't be this way.

I’m 40 and I seriously lack compassion or the ability to be hurt for and by the majority of people, outside of a very select few. Especially women. I don’t even care or feel anything towards them anymore. When they start acting funny, go ghost, start bullshyt ass arguments out of nowhere when things have been going good, etc., I’m just like I used to actually try to figure out why and see if I could fix it somehow. In hindsight, that was such a pointless waste of time. People in these times are trash. Social media has facilitated a lot of women being cold and detached. So I adapted

I’ve been disappointed and lied to so much that I don’t trust or have any expectations of people to do right by me anymore. I used to think the world would treat me better because I was a stand up and honest man. In adulthood, I quickly learned that those type of people get fukked over and taken advantage of the quickest and the worst

Now, I’m just numb inside. That’s a good thing in a lot of ways though

I echo ya sentiments

43 here, yes I do. A lot of what's been said here I can co-sign with. Was just having this talk with a friend not too long ago, you try not to become jaded and keep people at a distance but past experiences always enter the mind. I love social media, hate the way it is used. @Lord Scarf said something and it stuck with me: to look at IG you would think everyone was entrepreneurs, made $200K/yr, top end cars, homes, and clothes at their disposal.

I keep my circle small and only fukk with peeps that gonna keep it real with you. Learned women will come and go, no need to put time and energy in someone who doesn't do the same or only wants to use you for their gain.

yes dont have time to exert too much energy to bs

Yep I’ve lost my innocence. I don’t trust anyone or put anything past anyone. I’ve helped so many people out in life whether financially , emotionally , physically and yet not once in my life has anyone ever helped me out at all.

I’ll admit it I have problems forming and maintaining relationships ever since things ended with my ex fiancé I just don’t care anymore.

I’ve had women since tell me they love me and I just looked them in the eye and said oh

I’ve gone on dates and never even messaged back because I just don’t care


minus my family And a few other people I don’t care about anyone really and I know it might be wrong
