Psychology suggests people who become difficult to be around with age are almost always carrying an unprocessed grief - for the life they expected and didn't get, for the recognition they believed they had earned and never received, for the version of themselves they were supposed to become - and the difficulty is what that grief sounds like when it has been stored as resentment for long enough to become the way they experience everything - Silicon Canals

Unprocessed grief can manifest as bitterness and negativity, stemming from unfulfilled dreams and unmet expectations in life.

My father became someone I dreaded visiting somewhere in his late 60s - not suddenly, not through any single thing, but through the slow accumulation of a bitterness I watched arrive like weather and settle into his personality as though it had always been there, and the hardest part was not the bitterness itself but the fact that I could see exactly where it had come from and could not find a way to say so without making it worse - Silicon Canals

Disappointment can transform identity, leading to bitterness when circumstances change beyond one's control.

For example, using low-quality tea, steeping the tea too long, using water that's too hot, or using water that just doesn't taste that good can make for a bitter cup of tea.
