i don't think this is anyrhing new to talk about nor truly insightful, but still...
the more i spent time with people around my age (early to late 20's), the more i realize how strong and effective that cultural portrayal which "growing wiser", equals becoming more cynical and cold, is, essentially.
somehow being open about your emotions and displaying them, talking about your feelings, it's all often seen as a weakness, something childish and/or unprofessional.
so i'm seeing a lot of friends and mutuals becoming distant, focusing on themselves above anything else and such.
part of this is obviously the consequence of living more, as that translates to getting hurt, distrustful and way too protective over, well, experiencing things in ways that might considered naive, although sincere nonetheless.
like i said above this is nothing special or unique, i know it has been said a thousand of times already since it's not breakthrough of any kind.
it's just sad, since i consider my biggest personal growth was avoiding this kind of behavior, realizing that was a miserable life i was living.
