[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if this is a personality issue or an aging issue, but I’ve noticed, in the last 10 years or so, odd behaviors from my parents. They are now early-70s.

Whenever they go on vacation, without fail they have an issue with their hotel room. It’s always something minor gripe that anyone else would probably brush off, but it’s like they need a perfect hotel room and can’t accept that a hotel room will never be perfect. They will move their luggage 5 times until they find an acceptable room.

Everything any of their neighbors does has to do with them personally. Neighbor retrieves his mail after dark? It’s because he doesn’t want them to see his mail, he must be hiding something. Neighbor doesn’t come over to talk when I’m out shoveling snow? It’s because they are mad at us.

Phone rings and nobody is there? It’s my estranged friend. We get this same call every day. It has to be my friend.

Do people just get more anxious and paranoid as they age? Or is this a sign of something else?[/quote]
