I have become a nasty old man and love it

Featured Replies

Just like the heading said ,I have become a nasty old man and love it !!

have you become more nasty ,miserable ,self centred ,selfish , since you become older?

In the last 6 months I have recorded in my diary the actions I have done to be more selfish ,more self centred , and even downright nasty and I have been more happier in my life

1/ I was travelling to work by bus one late evening, I was sitting up the front when a man with an upper class accent got on , he asked the migrant bus driver if the bus was stopping near a certain restaurant,the bus driver said he didn't know , the man got a bit rude saying he should know .

As I was sitting just near the bus driver I butted in and pretended to be a nice guy and said "it's four stops away " although I made it up in answer

The man thanked me and remarked that the bus driver can't even speak English,and he was me a tourist , he then sat behind the bus driver

He got off at the stop I told him , in the middle of a government low class housing area , as the bus started to drive off I put my middle finger to the window as we passed him mouthing "sucker " as we drove past

2/ a Co - worker asked me to swap his Friday shift for my Saturday shift as he had a medical appointment for his wife on the Friday, I said no I can't I'm busy Friday and can't swap you

I then called in sick the both Friday & Saturday he wanted to swap and laughed about it at home

I have many more

What about yourselves ?

    No, with age many mellow out more, realizing how hard many have it in life and more forgiving to their mistakes and anger.

Don't be surprised if you see this stranger next time you catch the bus on your way to work.

He may want to jam your middle finger up your rectum. 🖕

Psychologically : You re just trying to make other people just as unhappy , sad and miserable as you are .

Doing things just to piss others off to bring them down to your level .

As we get older the tendency is for us to become grumpier, grouchier, more selfish and less willing to be flexible, and it becomes more difficult to maintain a jovial, pleasant attitude on a day today.

This is definitely not something to be proud of, and it is a personality deficit for certain. It takes a lot of effort as we get older to introspect, look within for the source of the problem, take responsibility and take action to make sure that we don't become an incredibly ugly person, who nobody gives a hoot about because we are simply too unpleasant to be around.

So don't allow yourself to become that person, there are countless things we can do to counteract the ravages of age, and the humiliation that comes with the aging process, and to remain kind, pleasant, cheerful and positive. And to be a warrior fighting against the issues of aging.

Being selfish doesn't have to make you nasty. For yonks I was unselfish, thinking of my partners first. Well, my unselfishness was exploited, since all three partners (not at the same time!) were only interested in my money and not me.

So I changed about 12 years ago, got rid of the final greedy partner, and started thinking about me and those that I cherish (not family). I spent my hard-earned cash on ME and not on my family, (who by then had all abandoned me 'cos I wasn't handing out money to them anymore). I felt happier, less stressed inside.

That's how I lead my life now. I have more money in the bank, there is no stress at all because I don't have to think of what others think of me or if they have enough of my money etc. My money (and I'm no millionaire!), is spent mostly on my educational charity in Myanmar, where a little bit of money (or resources purchased with that money) can make a huge difference :)

I still send birthday and xmas cards to my family in the UK. These are ignored by them lol. My grown-up kids have blocked my email address lol. They even blacklist my name/email address on the online birthdy card apps!! So who is nasty? Me or them?

You likely know the answer to that. Children can be brainwashed by other parents, and it can last decades, especially if they don't hear the other side or have contact. All you can do is reach out and hope for reconciliation. Never give them ammunition thinking you're anything but decent.

They sound like fake Puritans and are likely put off by the fact that you're living in a happy country and able to get with younger women, which is considered to be a form of perversion in the West. Woe are they. Happy is you.

I think we all know that Georgina is a liar (maybe a Walter Mitty would be kinder description).

Just a couple of examples that I can recall ...

  1. Attacked by a monkey but the Thai police refused to arrest the culprit - until he contacted the Australian Prime Minister who insisted that they investigated his formal complaint.

  2. He suspected that his English landlord in Pattaya stole his luggage. He called Scotland Yard and they persuaded the landlord to return his luggage.

I missed the story about him calling the Australian PM. That's funny.

What caused the blockage though...

I suspect their mother told them porkies as to why I left the UK to live in Thailand (the truth being chronic lung disease exacerbated by the UK climate, and their mother wasn't willing to leave the UK [understandable]). But I'll never know for sure and that's 23 years ago now...

Ah, what a tragic waste of a potentially decent doorway to discussion...

This thread could have strolled into something thoughtful - reflective even. A proper grown-up discussion: as we age, do we soften… or do we sharpen into less patient, less forgiving versions of ourselves?

Instead, we’ve been handed a demonstration of a character proud to be considered nasty..

For the record, no - getting older has not made me nastier. I have not evolved into some bitter, snarling relic shaking a fist.. For most of us, our evolving temperament is vintage, not fermented..

From a personal perspective, what has remained consistent is an intolerance for weapons-grade stupidity. That part of me did not develop with age - it simply enjoyed a better 'couldn't give a fk approach' as I aged....

So if what you are experiencing feels like “nastiness”, I don' think you should flatter yourself into thinking you triggered some late-life personality shift - keep going the way you are - its easier quality control for the rest of us !!!..

True

The book Die With Zero says that after your money situation is secure, you should be spending your money on health, experiences, and relationships.

All these things are cheaper and better in SEA.

I live on one of the most touristy soi's off of Sukhamvit Road and I seen no long faces, ever.
