I was born an “old man” really feel like I’m finally growing into my true phase of life. So not really any grumpier I would say.

I’ve developed a real interest in reading about cognitive science and psychology, and I really feel like that’s made me more relaxed in accepting how different peoples’ ideas, opinions and lived experience is; and it has really made me get over judging people for thinking the “wrong” thing.

Both? I simultaneously don’t give a fuck about most anything and hate everyone and everything.

I think mostly I am turning less patient, at least towards people who don’t deserve it. That said, I assume everyone deserves it, but the older I get the easier people lose my respect and tolerance

Kind of both? I’m becoming more cynical, but my cynicism does tend to be fairly predictive. I am getting better at taking it in stride, though, and I try to be more laid back.
