Psychology says people who become harder to be around as they get older aren’t becoming mean — they’re becoming less willing to absorb other people’s discomfort at the expense of their own, and that’s a skill most people mistake for bitterness
Sunday, 19 April 2026 15:25
There’s a pattern almost everyone has noticed in older relatives or colleagues. Someone who used to be “easy” gets, over the course of their fifties and sixties, quietly less accommodating.
