Overwhelmed, when expectations are surpassed; underwhelmed when expectations are not quite met, a kind of disappointment -- so, whelmed, is when results are normal, as expected, or, when expectations are reasonable and realistic! Like, in golf, below par and above par have just the par (on par), between them! In the normal, routine life of a mature person, there is more moments of "whelmed", than "over" or "under", just as in the case of a normal golf player with correctly calibrated card conforming to his game!

Using your complete statement, it must be that being whelmed is akin to 'jellin''!
