I always hear from the older crowd that young folks don't know anything, they haven't lived long enough, they don't have enough life experience, and that we don't have much authority to talk about certain topics. My question is are there older guys n' gals out there that haven't noticed much of a change in their own attitude since they were in their late teens and early 20s? Do you feel the same about stuff in general as you did before or is your outlook on life significantly different?
I just answered this on another forum, so here's the cut-&-paste:

I'm very much the same, eerily, to me. I was one of those odd "grown up" children who didn't fit in and didn't care. I just wanted to understand stuff. I was a "problem" for absolutely everyone.

I've never gotten along with many people because from my standpoint the large majority of them are (or behave as though they are) dumb, unthinking, unreliable and frequently genuinely evil -- or happily allow themselves to be totally manipulated by those who are. :sad:

This was clear to me when I was six or seven and nothing I've seen in a long, varied and eventful life has done much but reinforce it.

On the other hand, my personality and outlook have changed greatly and irreversibly at a few (mostly traumatic) points in my life.

With each "bump" I threw more BS overboard -- and life is mostly BS -- hopes, beliefs, illusions, values, self-deception, struggles for understanding and acceptance...blah, blah.

The end result is someone who is no longer a socially attractive personality, because I no longer care and no longer act as though stuff that doesn't matter does. I can't waste energy on idle, ant-like isopraxis with those who unfortunately will never mean anything that really matters in my life.

I've become progressively "serious."

I genuinely try to help, I try to do some good if I can, but I will no longer break my heart over people nor allow them to further diminish my quality of life.
