Babies cry because whatever happened was the worst thing they can ever remember happening

I cry because babies are the worst thing I can ever remember happening.

Is that why I can’t cry anymore, I’ve seen the worst and experienced the worst? I mean that makes some sense after reading that.

I feel this way even though I'm doing alright nowadays. I think past a point of environmental or social stress, it takes away the ability to express certain feelings.

I don't have strong emotions anymore but nothing is particularly painful either. That was not the case for me in high school, dealing with particularly bad depression.

I feel you there, I was told I was gonna die in my 20’s due to an aneurysm from an inoperable mass in my brain.

Got an experimental surgery, which technically failed… yet, here I still am alive lol. My neurologists don’t really know what to say decades later, so short of having a huge luck stat, I might be unkillable? 😂

And honestly, I would’ve rather go out in better shape, not achy af like I am now. 🥴
