I consider myself very jaded, in regards to a lot of different things and I'm really not a fan of it.
One that is very noticable to me over the past couple of years has been the value of money and regarding poker. I used to get pumped winning a small $5 buy-in with about 8-10 people, winning 40-50 bucks was awesome. Now its not a big deal, if I have a win of a +$100, its not a big deal at all, I had a +315 night in 45 mins just last week, and I was happy about it, but it wasn't a big deal, I also know that I can lose 100 bucks in a sitting, and it doesn't phase me a bit. It's just like "yeah, that sucks, I just lost a hundred bucks," but its not anything monumental.
Overall in life I often feel that not much affects me, I often think of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" as a good description.
I wish I could go back to not being jaded and have the amusement of a little kid very often in life.
