This is my observation to my friends and to myself. I become more vocal and expressive as I increase my age let's say I'm 42 now. I don't care anymore how others perceive me. I want to express myself especially if I'm angry. Of course I see to it that I can't damage relationship.
When I was younger, I found it hard to criticize or to be frank with somebody in the fear that a relationship could be damaged. Now, it's different. If I found somebody trying to put me down I immediately put my guard and ready to assault if necessary. Unlike before which I was only passive.
This attitude maybe associated with the changing physiological changes in the body. Blood pressure easily rises. Maybe the mind asserts itself that it doesn't care who you are. I want to establish my identity and I will really show it.
So, if you find your folks always arguing easily in a trivial issue it's sure that they're aging. But this is not to say that aging is always associated with short temper. Some old folks are so peaceful. Most of them also are opinionated. There's a saying that old age loves tales and this is really true.
