What is wrong with me?!
Question: I used to be really emotional and so much more animated and care free. I am now thirty five and cynical. Nothing ever really gets to me either good or bad. I don't get too upset, I don't get too happy. While this kind of behavior is good in many ways, I hate living life like this. Although religious for most of my life, I have even grown to believe that life is pretty much absurd which only really adds to my sense of cynicism and withdrawal. What is wrong with me?

Hi,
You're 35, maybe a lot of the last few years have had the same old s*** in them.
Just 2 little pieces of advice, Not too deep, either.
Find someTHING new that really grabs you. Anything.
A hobby, like yoga. A club or society. A new book series, like Harry Potter.
The world is so full of wonder that it's impossible to have exhausted it all.
It's ok to have lulls. Try and understand why. As a former therapist, I guess I should write to go see someone. OK but you can be creative about who you see.
I love to talk to older folks to get perspective. Try it. They've been there lots of times. How did they get thru them? Ask.
Good luck.

You sound like you're experiencing depression. I suggest you visit a local health care professional.
Sounds like to me your are in touch with realism and have pretty much lot your illusions of life. Welcome to the real world. There is still alot to enjoy, when you so decide to.
You've grown up, that's whats wrong. I know,I found that the older I get, the more things bother me and its about things that I never paid much attention to before. There's alot of dissapointment in life today, but you can't let it get you down to much. Try to stay positive and if something or someones bothers you, stay away from them. Only be with positive people and try to do the things that once made you happy. I hope you feel better soon and return to your happy self.
