I’m pretty sure as you get older your emotions are more blunted, and you don’t form the same level of bond as you would with someone when you’re 22

- pdonis 2y agoMy experience has been the opposite: my emotions have gotten deeper as I've grown older, and I feel more bonded to the people I'm close to now than I did when I was younger. Part of it is probably that I'm better at relationships than I was when I was younger. But even that is a sign of emotions not getting blunted.
- coffeebeqn 2y agoMe too, I was more emotionally stunted in my 20s still. I would say having kids and the experience of parenting finally gave me access to the full spectrum of emotions
- pdonis 2y agoI don't know that I'd say I was "emotionally stunted" when I was younger. I still felt emotions strongly then; I just often didn't know what to do with them.
