Although I think it's really from more emotionally walled off and objective about all aspects of life, even the ones that I shouldn't be; to less objective and more subjective.

I do know what you mean. When I was very young, I spoke and behaved far beyond my years, with the result that I witnessed a lot of adult conversations that were really age inappropriate. I coped with some of this by freezing off reactions to stuff I couldn't handle, and then felt slightly superior to others my age who acted in an 'immature' way - but of course they really weren't being immature, they were just expressing the emotions I never let myself feel.
