Regardless of what is currently happening in the market, what you think about it and how you feel about it is going to be influenced by your own personal investment history. For example, for people who personally experienced the 2000-2002 dot-com bubble bursting and the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, any current days/weeks/months in which the stock market falls are automatically going to be compared to those prior events. For people who started investing more recently, there is no similar personal experience to draw upon.
For any investor, though especially for newer investors, it’s important to be a student of investing history. It’s the best way to be as (mentally) prepared as you can be, for the different types of investment experiences you might face.
