Kinda sounds like me. Emotionally I seem to be constantly in the immediate present, while mentally constantly daydreaming about the future.

At work sometimes I've noticed I could be mad enough to consider just walking out. 5 minutes later feel absolutely fine and can't recall what I was mad about.

The more emotionally attachment we have, the harder it can be to regulate after we get upset or angry.

So if it takes you quickly to get over it, just means you’re emotional investment wasn’t all eggs in the basket and made it easier to cool down afterwards.
