      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.

          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 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.
