No? I like curmudgeons. Having been accused of being one myself, I'm drawn to the crusty, anti-social people.

Curmudgeons aren't always anti-social people. -- They just find it hard to tolerate 'social' hypocrisy.
I'd rather be disliked for being brutally honest, then be scorned for being a sycophant..

I once got a job because the interviewer said I was so brutally honest.
Now I don't get one because I'm over a certain age, honesty be damned.
First things first, you know.
