LPT Request: how do you age without getting grumpy or annoyed by too many things every single day?

Iā€™m only 52 but the more I age the angrier Iā€™m becoming. People around me frustrate the hell out of me as I am becoming super judgmental. I do physical activities quite a lot (running, table tennis, badminton, cycling, frisbee, etc.) but it doesnā€™t help improving my general mood. I have checked my testosterone levels and was told they are fine. To be honest, Iā€™m not interested at all in therapies and meditation so any other practical ideas would be much welcome. Thanks!

Btw I am not taking any medication.

What makes me angry:

ā€¢ ā store clerks not listening to me and acting like robots. ā€¢ ā automatisation of everything. ā€¢ ā people in the train looking at shit on their smartphone. ā€¢ ā people walking looking at their smartphone ā€¢ ā people still wearing masks despite the fact that the government says itā€™s fine not wearing one outside anymore. Not being able to see their face is was irritates me. ā€¢ ā muscles not as responsive/healthy as before ā€¢ ā knowing that Iā€™m now on a descending slope on all aspects of my life. ā€¢ ā not getting looks from women as I was used too when I was younger ā€¢ ā no more younger women in my bed ā€¢ ā not getting positively surprised anymore

To people who didnā€™t get it yet, yes the main reason of all these frustrations is about the increasing lack of attention from strangers, and the increasing difficulty to have opportunities to interact with human beings. Yes I am an attention whore, always have been, and I donā€™t accept that the shortening of my telomeres has to make me become a ghost to others. Not into kids and family btw so I need to stay relevant on the dating market till my fucking death that I hope will be swift and coming from nowhere.

OP would benefit greatly from therapy and some self-exploration
