No, I have found that as you grow older, emotions only intensify, in a good way or a bad way. This does not make it harder to cope with anything however, I think the only reason why it seems easier as you age is because you understand there're is more to life than that one particular emotion you are holding on to. Life is beautiful, embrace it while you can!

As you get older you naturally mature and develop as a person. You will learn things you never knew as a child/teenager.

As you become older, you are more able to manage your emotions because of experience. That doesnot mean though that you will be able to handle all situations without extra advice, and or help. Getting older is not some magic cure to all of lifes problems.

Age doesn't really have to do with how much someone is better or whether it is easier at managing something. Let's look at it this way, do people dress better as they age or do people become (fill in the blank) as they age? It depends on the work or effort in developing a skill or on becoming better. Things usually become easier as you gain new levels of learning. So the best way to look at it is how much effort has one put in managing their emotions and if they put effort, it will certainly be easier with time.

I don't think age plays a big role in that. You can be young and learn how to manage emotions effectively. You can also be older and not know how to manage emotions. I think it depends on whether you have learned how.

I do believe strongly that managing emotions does become a lot easier as we grow older. As we gain more life experience, our self knowledge becomes greater. With age we become more emotionally mature which allows us to learn what triggers our emotions, and therefore, we are better equip with dealing or even overcoming them. Our mind set is constantly changing and adapting to new ways of dealing with emotional turmoil.

yes as you get older you experience more situations and therefore have a history of reaction to these situations then can easily manage your emotion in a better way

For me it has been, I've learned what works and what doesn't -- mostly through trial and error. Now I have a toolbox of things that help me and I know what I am capable of overcoming.

Being older does not always mean that you are wiser. Managing emotions is a skill that is practiced over time, and yes, the older you are, the easier it is for you to manage emotions, but only when you are trying to manage your emotions better.

yes and no. Yes- We grow in maturity and learnt how to deal with our emotions over the years. We come to understand ourselves better and know what to do to make us feel better. No- As we grow older, we have more worries than we did as a child, so naturally we deal with more emotions than simply just angry or sad or happy when we were younger. So we may not have been good in handling so many complex emotions all at once.
