It really depends on the individual, though I think most people would state that as you get older, you are more likely to gain the skills necessary for emotional control and self-management. Generally speaking, unless you have a mental health issue that is progressively worsening and for which you do not get treatment, getting older should come with better emotional management. This is because we gain better social skills, but also because we develop better confidence, establish more stable relationships, and our hormones tend to settle into a more predictable and even pattern.
The quickest way to better management, however, is accepting that our emotions are within our choice to handle. We may not have the ability to manage our initial emotions, but we *do* have a choice as to how we respond to those emotions. Practicing stability helps it become a habit. Taking accountability for our behavior and emotions can really help us feel more settled in life.
