So this is a topic that I actually have had some great discussions with my friends about. Anecdotally, I have gathered that most people are like this. However, I have never felt this way even once.

From what I’ve gathered it has a lot to do with being way too reliant on your emotional expectations. I have never lead my life by expecting emotional results from things. I merely accept the outcome or I don’t. I don’t compare previous emotional experiences with one that I’m experiencing at that moment. Something either was successful or it wasn’t. I don’t feel bad if it wasn’t “as good” as the time before.

You can control this, but it takes effort.

There’s a whole bunch of psychological explanations behind this, I’m sure, but I’m more of a practical person. So I tune my life in order to prevent being overly dependent on my emotions so that I can actually enjoy things.
