Am I An Old Grouch?

My two cents, you remind me of a friend of mine. He doesn't suffer fools or hypocrits easily, he says what's on his mind and once I got to know him, told him when I needed to to f*ck off , we are great friends. Very much different people in some respects. But we understand each other (him and I) and are very loyal-have each other's back.

That's my take on u, I could be 100% wrong and u are really the sensitive, easily hurt type wanting to sing Kumbaya..........

Being offensive is more of a young mans game. It's getting offended which seems to be a sign of being an old fart, really, I guess.

In my case I suppose it applies to me. When I was younger I couldn't give a shit about what I said to anyone. As I age I'm considerably more considerate towards people and I react differently, calmer I suppose, if I hear something offensive. I've learned over the years that it's easier on my own psyche if I let things slide. I think my parents used to call it " gaining wisdom " or something along those lines. :D

There are exceptions to every case. Not everyone mellows with age.
