Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Morton_Co: Im 56 and have run out of give a fucks for so many things. From 2020 to now has been a trail of death and destruction for me. Numerous loved one have died, my mother last week. Marriage died and was finalized a year ago. Mother died of dementia and last couple days sucked watching her fight the grim reaper. She fought hard. Morphine for the win I guess. I'm filled with emotions now but those will fade and I will back to my IDGAF self. Getting regular ass from a good looking GF helps also. Genuinely sorry about your mother. My remaining parents all have varying degrees of health issues plus a lot of my extended family are up in age and not doing well. The next several years promise a lot of difficult moments.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cacinok: Originally Posted By BillofRights: This of course, always running in the background, but it was my kids growing up and leaving home which triggered a most unwelcome emotional response.

It was the death of the life we had long known and loved. ..Had a hard time letting go. The annoying and frightening thing was, I couldn’t turn it off. I learned to just let it run it’s course, 5-10 minutes, and I’m back to my normal stoic self. After a few years, I got better. It only pops up when I think about it. I’m sure part of it was biochemical. With enough Test, it probably could have been suppressed. It gave me more empathy for those basket cases who are ruled by emotions, and an appreciation of how delicate we are emotionally, mentally, and physically. Humans are like a Ferrari. Unstoppable when everything is working, but highly complicated and prone to various failures. Describes my situation exactly. Oldest (son) left for the Army. Number 2 is getting ready to head off to college in the fall. I couldn't go into my son's room for a while w/o tearing up. It probably only effects those of us who really enjoyed being Dads. Got too emotionally invested in it. My wife made it easy. I was gone half the time, but there for the fun stuff. After a quick 18 years, it was done. (For me it was more like 9 years) such is life. Nobody warned me about the suck. I’ve no idea if my dad went through the same thing. Our relationship was different. Guys try not to complain and don’t communicate, for good reason. No good can come of showing weakness; Personally, or professionally. People depend on us. Tony Soprano syndrome. |

I'm 64 and was widowed in Feb 2021. Have cancer and a couple other health issues but still up and fighting.
I'm sentimental. I dwell on the past. I talk to God and ghosts. Honestly though, I don't really want to be involved with most people anymore beyond a superficial level. Including most of my family. I'm pleased when my daughter and her family come down from Canada. I'm also pleased when they leave. I check on my mother and do what I can. She doesn't want to live with me and I'm just as glad of that. Empathic but uncaring. As good of a way as any to put it... |

As already posted, having no more fucks left to give is liberating. But like wisdom, it's a double-edged sword. I focus on the good stuff and things that get in the way of that don't get a pass anymore. Not more emotional personally, but when it hurts you really know why now. I'm definitely less forgiving.
I did dementia (5 years) and hospice (8 days) care for mom, the hardship was my worst. Knowledge I learned was some of the most brutal lessons yet. Still enjoy every sunrise. |

I am better at controlling my emotions. But I deal with the same level of profound grief, PTSD, and Bipolar II as I have for years.
Right now I’m dealing the the recent anniversary of my son’s death, the upcoming anniversary of my mother’s death, the estrangement of my daughter, and my surviving son’s disinterest in maintaining contact with me. Next month will bring the heartache of Father’s Day. July 2nd would have been my dead son’s 47th birthday. He died just short of his 18th. I will eventually get through it as I always do. But it is difficult operating a brain that wants to go back in time. I just suck it up and go on. You can control your emotions to some extent. Some days, however, they come out on top. |

Watching the criminals at every level of gov't killing this nation in every way possible gets my blood boiling but knowing we the people have allowed it is troubling.
The only thing that gets me to my core is watching my nephew battle depression on top of everything else he has been handed in his short life. |

One friend just passed @ 60 last April drank his self to death knew him since 1995. Really no fucks left to give @ my age I was foolish and used them all up early in life. Don't get me wrong I have a great life with everything to live for. Just don't care much about unimportant things like the younger me did. |

But I find some things get me in the feels more. I think it’s part of DGAF too. Don’t care what anyone thinks about it. Seems like when I started being a GF, I mellowed some. It could also be that I got my hypertension figured out… 🙄 Plus, I’m also on TRT, makes me feel like a big swinging dick sometimes, but I can still embrace feelings. I don’t know. Is what it is. |

I'm as cool as a cucumber. Beware the man that smiles at everything thing and has little to lose. Then just walks away from a confrontation. It does not mean he's forgotten. It just means he will pick and choose the time of retribution. I've become less tolerant and as i grow older the less i have to lose. Especially with this corrupted Socialist dictatorship and their terrorist supporters that wants to destroy my country.
I do not show emotion in public. It does not mean I do care. |

I was more emotional in my 40's than now at 53. At the point where I don't give a fuck about anything but my direct family and a few close friends.

If anything I've become less emotional as I age. Maybe its because I'm desensitized from watching so many of my old friends die. Maybe its because I compartmentalize my emotions while watching them suffocate.
