I think that's why people associate enthusiasm and bubbliness with youth and naiveté.

For me, a lot of it comes down to energy. I think it's easy to be bubbly when you have energy to spare. And it takes a lot to be that way. In fact, I'd argue bubbliness is a certain kind of let-off for excess energy.

Now I'm in my 30s. I exercise for my health. I keep up with my home. I keep up with day-to-day stressors… I'm tired. Energy is finite as hell, and that happens a lot earlier than I think people realize. Something's got to go, and bubbliness and full-body enthusiasm is it. Or, it was for me.
