Maybe, when we are young, the world (and the universe at large) are part of our identity of self, but as we grow older we reduce our sense of "self" to just our own physical body and mind.

I have seen some people having the inverse transition, blending with their environment and communities as they got older. Perhaps it's more like a cultural thing than a personal process. It's hard not to become selfish in our society model.
