Overly sensitive ex-colleagues

When one gets old there is a tendency to be overly sensitive with even the most trivial issues. Below were 3 of my ex-colleagues who belonged to the group.
  • An old woman who got along fine with me in the work place and even after retiring from the airline. One day I asked her to endorse my e-guide which I was selling to the young aspiring cabin crew by saying a few words. She was upset with me for not telling her or put it this way I didn't rope her into the business. Ever since that day, 8 years ago, she refused to speak to me.
  • Another ex-colleague who considered me his "friend" but disassociated with me once he found out that I was "Boh Tong" who published the book titled "Fasten your seatbelts". I think he was envious or perhaps ashamed of me.
  • An ex-IFS was so upset with me when I didn't reply to his WhatsApp messages instantaneously that he blocked me from his phone.
Sometimes I wonder why do old people become so very sensitive and upset over small issues. Don't they value the years of friendship?
