My experience has been that I have become much kinder to myself as I have got older....a sort of soft sadness.
But it terms of satisfying my (tedious, boring, predictable) social expectations of myself.....of course nothing can help with that, but then I disrespect the social world and my desire to be part of it.
Like Sid said somewhere else, I'm tired, humanity, all this stuff, what do the Buddhists say, if you lived forever you would die of heart sickness?
Life is no picnic, or (I have to exclude those present) beautiful world, pity about the company.
