My story: I would still be leading a life of quiet desperation if still married.
Well, at age 50 I had my stroke and the result of that is making me happy for the rest of my life. Got divorced at age 58, fired at age 56. All leading to moving to Michigan and finding lots of new friendships.
(Life is
definitely better as I age, I got divorced enhancing my happiness
immeasurably. I'm retired and comfortably well off. And healthy as I can
be post stroke. I'm going to live a long time yet.)
Do Hasslers (Difficult People) Speed Aging and Shorten Lifespan?
Most of us know someone who makes life difficult. Scientists call these people hasslers (difficult people). Perhaps it’s a coworker who criticizes everything and everybody. Or an aggressive sibling who derails family gatherings by dredging up old grievances. Sometimes even a friend leaves you feeling worn out instead of refreshed. Such interactions may do more than spoil your day. New research published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS, Feb. 24, 2026) suggests these “hasslers” may actually influence how fast your body ages.
