Life will turn you into a bitter, resentful person if you don't watch yourself :francis:


Worrying about bills and all the other bullshyt that comes with it, while your life slips away. One day you wake up and you're 50 wondering where all those years went.

There's also the element of fear. If you don't learn how to manage it, having children will make it even worse. Your father probably worries a lot and is anxious about a lot of things - especially concerning his kids.

In his mind, by dumping all that negativity on you he is "preparing you for life". He doesn't see it as something that could cripple you from pursuing a meaningful life. It comes from a good place, but it's very destructive if you adopt it as your outlook.

If he still gotta work at his age, that's your answer.

Older people who still gotta go to work are rarely happy. Especially if they are working somewhere like Walmart or the grocery store.

That's cause they just miserable as fukk. Also, they genitals prolly ain't working anymore so they frustrated as hell too.

Older people I know that smash ass ain't never really came across as negative to me as much as the lonely old Mrs Haversham ass bytches I've had the misfortune of dealing with, both male and female.

Always being an grumpy old man.

“If I were you I wouldnt move down there”

“Trump is gonna win again anyways so why bother”

“There’s not a lot of black people in that industry, don’t do it”


Is it me or alot of older people are negative?

Older people tend to be more cynical because they've had far longer to be disappointed......

Life was hard for a lot of the older generation. They tended to get married and have full husband responsibilities at much younger age than what happens today. Hell 2 generations ago, dudes were getting drafted to go fight in wars at 18............18 !!!!!!

The grind wears people down over the years.
