The Great Gatsby, closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows

Could you please tell me the meaning of "closed out", "abortive" and "short-winded" in the following excerpt of The Great Gatsby, chapter 1:

No—Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.

Thank you
