When I'm in a bad vibe I'm likely to overreact and believe that state will never change, but suddenly and luckily it evolves to something else. The same thing for the good vibe. That pattern makes me think that we work through contrasts. We understand being alive through contrasts. Is it what people call "life experience"?
I feel that my overreactions are taking less time, maybe it's the so called "maturity", maybe it's having to make my living, mybe it's being more worried about my health.
I also used to expose myself to strong experiences more often, so maybe it's just getting lazy and less energetic. Now I run away when drama is detected!
Of course, we can't always escape serious situations, but I guess I'm learning to self-protect when something doesn't really belong to me. And I recommend it!
