Need to look after yourself, Marv - if you're always angry, it's stress and if you're middle-aged, you're in early heart attack territory, especially if you've got unlucky genetics and more likely to have one. I was heading that way around 2019-2020.

Exercise helped(s) me. If I feel tension rising, I row 5-10,000km on the concept 2 or jog 10km if the weather is ok... Hard to get stressed afterwards when your body is knackered. I'm the proverbial cliche middle-aged man with a grey beard in too trendy running shoes round the running track and trying to race cyclists and younger runners along trails and with a skipping rope in the back of my car for when I've got free moments, but I don't get any negative comments, just encouragement and questions.

Combined this with prioritising sleep and juicing and my blood levels and heart readings went comparable to that of someone in the mid-20s. No medication necessary. Helps other aspects of life also - energy levels, lower stress, relationships, decision making, sex life etc. Live healthy, live strong and good luck with it.
Good post .
A kid I work with was constantly getting angry about the companies former owner .
Even after he,d gone the previous owners daughter and grandson are still there and his level of anger and ridiculous going back to the past was a daily occurrence.
It was beyond normal and he ended up having a stroke and has been off for 4 months

I dont care who the kit supplier is as long as its all the same shade of Amber and the same as last year.

The change in the colour of amber is one of the things that pisses me off the most. And as a middle aged bloke im usually pissed off about something
Careful you'll end up like Cityzen mate

Its mad how people get isnt it. Things they cant control yet they dedicated their life to them, hate and toxic thoughts. Life is too short to hold grudges or spend your days obsessing about things. I mean I obsess a bit about Kelly Brook but thats different

Yeah we kept telling him to the point of snapping at each other even his wife said for god's sake go get some counselling but didn't listen .
The workplace is a lot calmer without him that's for sure ..

Apparently not. The Mrs has told me i seem to be getting more angry every year and followed it up with "you're turning in to your dad". Now for some that would be brilliant but he is a grumpy, miserable git
If you love her and trust her, could be worth listening to her on this - like an early warning signal before it goes too far. You don't want to get sick or even if not sick, look back and regret being pissed off/dissatisfied with life for decades.

I think a lot of us got it as learned behaviour from our dads from that era - always pissed off and angry and so we subconsciously copy it. My old man was like a volcano. I had it for a bit with my kids, when they got to that annoying age, and my wife had to say what's the worst that will happen by letting it go. And she was right, the phase passed.

Then I had business and money problems in 2019-2020 and couldn't switch off and effectively ruined two years of my life as didn't appreciate or enjoy anything that happened during that period as got too sucked in to worrying, 'what if-ing' and ruminating. It's a lifelong work in progress to improve, adjust and moderate behaviour so as to not end up a moaning, grumpy sad bloke, as you mentioned, and just have to try different methods that work for you - being active suited me.

Love this.

Really well put and it’s something a lot of lads don’t look into.

It is surprising just how much some people get into that constant complaining and miserable way of life .
My Grandad was an absolute shocker for it .
The sheer negativity looking back was really bad .
Never had a word of encouragement and said you'll never get anywhere in life your life's mapped out for you .
I mentioned this to my mam the other week and she was a bit surprised I'd mentioned it .
Don't get me wrong he was an helpful bloke and would do anything you asked him to do but boy the negativity
