Yup, but not for this reason:

It's for other reasons. But yes, I can relate!

Part of it is also wisdom accrued with age. Getting older gives you a different perspective on what's really important and what isn't. As we get older we also realize our own mortality in a way that we didn't acknowledge (usually) when we were in our teens and 20s. Things we placed value on now fall to the wayside as we realize we don't have all the time in the world and we may not live to be 100. (not that I ever thought I would anyway.) For all we know we could be dead next month. So don't worry about the stupid stuff is the new realization. It's not important. You notice that old people don't run around freaking about petty shit? It's because they're 70 and 80. They've lived and learned, and now know better. 
Not worth it.
Awareness about "the matrix," however one chooses to call it, also makes a lot of what goes on here seem utterly ludicrous.
Also, another part of it for me anyway involves how when I was in my early 20s I wasn't aware of what I am now at this point, didn't know about certain things and how reality seems to work (for me, anyway. It does seem to vary for different people.) Now that I've figured some things out I have more personal power over my reality in a way I hadn't realized 10 years ago, which means I can relax and not worry about stuff that I would have stressed out about years back. Actually I think we all can do this, but many people haven't gotten to a point where they fully know and trust that they can do this. It took me over 3 years myself of going back and forth, back and forth. But once you're there, there's no turning back.
But it's funny you started this thread because recently I've taken to conjuring up images in my mind of the Hubble deep space photo that shows all these galaxies of all shapes and sizes, tilted every which way. It really puts it all in perspective! (well...if it's even real and we're not really living in a reality experiment construct like something out of "Dark City".....cough....) I try to hold that image in my mind when faced with stupid every day life stuff. Sometimes I still forget though, but it's one useful method I've found.

In general though, I'm not really the worrying kind anyway. Which is surprising since I grew up with two of the most anxious people EVER as parents! They think something as trivial as a traffic jam is a reason to get all stressed & worked up. What's the point? Life's too short, after all.
