Well I also stopped trying.. this was like 2011? It happened, then for three days after I experienced the most horrible depression of my life. It’s actually a common thing though. They call it the ‘dark night of the soul.’ Like, horrible, Guantanamo Bay level torture for days.That's too bad. That means your EGO (which is future/past oriented) is in full control.
But I’m generally happy almost 100% of the time, which is really why I stopped worrying about it.
May get back into it sometimes though.
My old teacher used to say that people ‘dump their emotions on you.’I'm there quite often to the point I'm starting pick up on energy (both positive and negative) of other living things. It's a mixed bag of emotions and honestly, can be a little unnerving.

But yea, I haven’t really suffered in years, so I kinda stopped sweating it after that. But like I said I may get back into it some day.
