I have read that it is usually the younger folks who have side effects to these mRNA vaccines after the second shot. Younger folks usually have stronger immune systems so I guess I have a pretty strong immune system. Maybe that's why I don't ever get sick, not even a common cold for many years.

That is exactly correct according to my Dr. son. About 15% of those over 65 get these side effects after the second shot. It doesn't mean the other 85% aren't getting protected , it just means our immune systems are a bit stronger and more reactive.
