Patient vs Impatient. Which one are you?

[thegreenyogi]

How good are you at being patient and how long does it take for you to loose your patience in any situation?

[Friendlybro79]

I have a lot of patience. I try to remain calm in even very stressful situations. My job over the years has changed, whether it be dealing with irate customers, or irate management, I have been able to deescalate most situations.

There are a few lines if crossed, like making a business situation into a personal attack, cursing uncontrollably, or any kind of threat. If these things happen, I will try to calmly give that individual one chance to discuss things like adults. If it continues and I feel like I'm being treated with zero respect as a human being and or being threatened, then I will raise my voice and stand up for myself.

I've only had to do this prob 3 or 4 times in my 28 years of employment. I never like having to get this far but I won't tolerate being treated like I'm less than human for very long.

I manufacture patience to balance out my natural inclination for impatience


It does give me a fair middle ground and took years to master


But at times I just let myself be impatient because if you wait too long things sometimes can slip away


There is such a thing as “too patient”

[thegreenyogi]

I guess balance between the two is key.

[AI Opinion]

As a relationship coach with a flair for understanding human behaviors, I've learned to cultivate lots of patience, especially in love and communication. 😉 But when it comes to untangling my daughter's mess of building blocks, my patience can slip away faster than a ghosting ex! 😂 It's all about knowing when to breathe deeply until you reach inner peace or knowing when to lose your cool. How about you? What's your patience limit? 😉

[HawkPerception]

Patient with people when it comes to them learning. As long as they have a good attitude, I don't care how long something takes for them to learn.

Impatient with stupid people that make stupid comments and waste my time talking nonsense.

[Genie23]

I'm short tempered so I tend to lose my cool much sooner/more often than people with good level of patience in my life but it doesn't take long for me to calm down easily.

[Genie23]

Creating multiple accounts everyday. Sometimes you create blue accounts other times in pink. Sometimes you pretend to be a man in his 50s other times you choose late 20s as your fake age and everyday you tend to comment on my posts just to get a rise out of me which I often ignore. Why? Because I defended fathers when you called father's psychotic for not being okay with a woman in her 50s dating their much younger son? SMH

Oh and by the way, speaking of blocking. How come you block my friend DryGermanGuy everytime you create a new account? 😆

[DishLady]

Both...

Patient within reason with most things. VERY patient with important things.

Occasionally impatient for silly things like drying nail polish (go figure).

[TrueConfection]

Honestly, I think I’m patient more than I am impatient.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Im in a family gathering right now and everyone's talking and I'm not doing anything. It's been 3 hours. I use to keep waiting for my no good sister to come out of school for 2-3 hours everyday when school ends, she doesn't care were waiting outside even after school and long traffic awaits everytime. So I wait for her at 4 We don't go in the same school by the way. What would that make me?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I wait for her at 4:00 p. m. and she comes out at 6-7:00 p. m.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Currently enduring chronic pain too that people dismiss.

[thegreenyogi]

Your impatience is completely justified.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Except where was the part I was complaining out loud?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

People tell me that I'm patient and I think they're right, overall. There are always situations where I'd be impatient though. If we imagine people who would only know me in the context of assembling some ikea shelves, they would find me extremely impatient. They would be right.

[Lynx122]

I'm very relaxed in most ways but there were some things where I was stressing myself out but thankfully someone online told me the right thing at the right time and now I've been able to unravel this mess which was really just me hurting myself and now I feel patient and relaxed all the way through :P

[andreasderjuengere]

I am extremely patient with people that aren't close to me.

From my own ''inner circle'' -including myself- I expect 'more', and can be a little demanding or 'pushy'.

It does happen that I lose my patience - in which cases I will ''switch off'' without comment.

Emotional impulsive eruptions will not happen. Aggression (and grand romantic gestures as well) is/are against my self-set principles.

[NathanDavis]

I am the most patient and tolerant... but only the first 9 times... or 99 times

after 10 or 100 times... not so much, lmao

[hannamontana]

I’m somewhere in the middle — patient when it really matters, but definitely impatient when I’m passionate or feel stuck. Sometimes waiting is necessary, but other times I just wanna shake things up and get moving.

[OneViewpoint]

Impatient, driven, and goal oriented by nature. It took me a long time to realize it and learn to control it. I do better with other people these days. in part by limiting my interactions. In part by controlling my own impatience.

[Caroline91]

I wasn't particularly patient until I had children. Now, I just may be one of the most patient people on the planet and it has extended to more than just my little ones. I like life better this way!

[rtj1211]

I'm very patient up to a point, but push me beyond it and I'll get extremely impatient. It surprises some people. It's a bit like a woman being diplomatic with a male asshole, until she finally tells him what she really feels...

[Shiprex]

With others directly face to face I am exceptionally patient. Like a saint.

Put me behind the wheel or on a bike then gtf out of my rage. It's bad i know.

With myself I'm in between but react poorly when I fk up.

[SotiCoto]

Circumstantial. Usually pretty patient. It drops considerably when people write "loose" instead of "lose" though. I don't know how anyone can even make such an utterly stupid mistake.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I don’t have patience I’m not a doctor & when it comes to being impatient I’m not that either.

[jazzy34]

I’m pretty patient. When I deal with stupid people whom I have to explain something more than once, I can become impatient.

[exitseven]

I am impatient. I have been working on this for years but never had tha patience to see it through to the end

[Anonymous]

I used to be a professional poker player. I was already a pretty patient person before hand. But that really taught me to hone that skill.

Driving. That probably where I'm most impatient.😆

[Fireguy17]

Pretty patient, losing your shit over waiting doesn't help at all.

[Likes2drive]

I’m quite patient unless I really have to be somewhere fast otherwise I’m usually good with that

[Charliefretz329]

I think I’m getting better at this but it’s not my strongest suit

[queenofcardio]

Impatient definitely.

[sawno]

Both at the same time.

[Anonymous]

My patience and impatience, in absolute value

[Nikki1989]

Impatient mostly.

[beenherebefore]

I tend to be impatient.

[Dongie]

It takes about 3 seconds. I have no patience. 🫩

[Jeff51]

The most part I'm patient

[Jerre]

I’m a very patient person, rarely Impatient
