how to stop being bitter

i had a difficult life, it's in the past now, long ago past, but i still feel bitter about it and show it to other people in the form of being uptight and unfriendly sometimes, i'm also stern and aloof sometimes.

how can i stop being bitter and blaming others for my misfortunes? i don't want to end up 'that guy' or a bitter old man.

Make peace with your difficult past. Learn to Forgive others.

All I can say is how I handled, and continue to handle to a lesser extent, the same situation as you describe. When my need to be happy grew stronger than my bitterness I was able to begin to move on in life. It's a step by step road, but yeah you eventually get there.

We all have our own demons and burdens to bear but it boils down to staring the real reasons for the bitterness right square in the eye, forgive where you can, and make peace with it so you can have happiness. Good luck, hope this helps.
