Impassive-agressive

I wonder if it is a sign of being old
that I am not enthusiastic about people liking me or
approving what I do and say.
Criticism is a one-lane road
and I am driving backwards with my rear mirror
reflecting all those that get into my way.

And I don't really mind hurting others
so that I can prove myself right
about things I don't quite care about or care considering.
My friends love my sarcasm and sense of irony but rather
they do not understand it when I fight
to get through to issues I don't get even close to understanding.
