As we age, our bodies undergo hormonal changes that can lead to emotional imbalances, contributing to the grumpy reputation some older individuals develop. A new study identifies some of the complaints older Americans in Kansas have about things that never used to bother them, but now do. Who cares… some people who used to love a feisty debate in their younger years start hating conflict engagement as they get older, and just don’t give a crap. A reason could come down to a lack of energy. Engaging in conflict just doesn’t feel worth the battle like it used to for some people with a fatigue-inducing condition.

Pants are not the way to go… many young women love rocking a pair of skinny jeans, and men enjoy a good pair of jeans too. But as some people age, they suddenly go from loving to hating pants. There are several reasons for this, including it being harder to zipper and button jeans with arthritic fingers, expanding waistlines, and no longer having as youthful of a shape to show off. What? I never lost my petite muscled figure! Well, maybe a little bit.
