The making of a Scrooge: Experts weigh in on why some older people are angry, isolated

6. I've met plenty of middle-aged men who can't be with people

and I do think it has everything to do with their childhoods. They didn't learn to connect as children, and so now, being adrift is all they know.

If you don't have kids and grand kids, or even if you do but you don't put in the effort to be involved, people give up on you and you're alone.

You can bring a horse to water....

If grumpy seems normal, then they'll cling to it even if they're miserable. They won't change. Nothing will make them change.

Depressed? Sometimes I feel like the majority of us are depressed, living here in the greatest country in the world.

It almost seems like humans are here to reproduce but not be happy.
