What's with so many old people being grumpy, or having not much personality?

Were they like this their whole life? Because I get it's depressing that you're getting up there in years, but that's no excuse to not have a personality. If you have control of your mental faculties then why not be a little more jolly?

Nope, well sometimes they were always like that, but it usually stems from constantly running into or interacting with scumbag people or aholes or dispicable people or drama kings and queens or horrid people etc.. Way to often and think there's none left that have old time values like honor, respect, kindness, honesty etc.. While others as they grow older find a lack of patience for stupidity, jerks and types of music etc.. Lol id know because im guilty of the last two, I've noticed now and then there will be times i had a grumpy old man moment haha

We are not all that way. However. . .

Some older people have witnessed many heartaches and sorrows, have retired, their children are grown up, married, and moved awy, and they feel alone. They have aches and pains and often cannot do the things they contemplated being able to do in their retirement. They may be living on a limited income. The world around them continues to change and they can't keep pace with the changes. They feel increasingly alienated from the world around them and younger people make fun of them.

I'm sure the loss of abilities they once had also doesn't help the situation.

I've known some elderly that were full with personality and life:) I think it just depends on them or what's going on in life.

Because you seem the same shit play out day after day with no change. Even if you try to change the outcome people still turn on each other and get distracted by nonsense. So you stop involving yourself in the arguments but you still have a lot to say turning bitter by the silence. Still that's better than talking to the wall of youth.

Old people are assholes lol. I don't know if they were treated like shit when they were younger and that's why they treat younger people like shit... I do hate them though. Especially the fact that they're so weak and crumbly and anyone could just break their entire ribcage very easily but yet they run their mouth so much. Yeah, I haven't had very great experiences with old people as you can tell lol. They're just bitter sacks of goo waiting to die lmao.
