Men over 30: Do you find yourself getting more emotional as you get older?

Hey guys, I’ve been thinking about something lately and wanted to see if anyone else can relate. When I was in my 20s, I was very much the “men don’t cry” type. I remember being emotional deep down, but I rarely ever showed it. For example, I was really close to my dadi (grandmother), but when she passed away, I didn’t cry. I felt it, but I just couldn’t let it out. It was like I had this mental block, like showing emotion was a sign of weakness or something. But over the past few years (I’m in my 30s now), I’ve noticed something changing. I’ve become way more emotional, and it’s kind of surprising to me. Like, I was watching this animated movie the other day—nothing too heavy, just a heartfelt story—and out of nowhere, I found myself tearing up. I was like, “What’s happening right now?!” And it’s not just movies. A few weeks ago, I saw an old lady on the street, working so hard just to make ends meet. It hit me so hard that I actually cried when I got home. Even those random animal videos online—you know, the ones where a dog gets rescued or a cat does something ridiculously cute—they get me emotional now. I’m not depressed or anything, and I’m definitely not going through a rough patch. If anything, I’m more introspective these days. I’m an introvert, so I spend a lot of time in my own head, but I’ve never been this emotionally open before. So, I’m curious—has anyone else experienced this? Do you think getting older makes you more in tune with your emotions? Or is it just me? Would love to hear your thoughts and stories.
