From someone who also remembers this, it doesn't get better in your thirties.
If it's anything, you and a college buddy of mine were both teething during 9/11, and I watched that live as a kid, and adults with their own apartments not remembering that is distressing to me. He'll act like a perfectly normal adult and then it will come out he always thought pokemon was lame, and it's because it had already worn out all of its welcome by the time he hit elementary school.
You're not old. I'm normal and you're a baby. Tiny infant. Do you want to go in the playplace?
