are you a patient person?

September 3, 2008 5:56pm CST
Are you a patient person? I used to be really patient until relatively recently when i find myself becoming more aggrivated with things. I am becoming more aggitated and have less and less patience by the day. Maybe its not the fact that more things bother me, its probably that things bother me more than they used to. I can let many things slide, but if it bothers me, i will try and tear it apart. Does anyone else feel like this? are you patient people out there? when was the last time you lost your temper?

I have very little patience. I loose my temper all the time. The last time I lost my temper was about 3 hours ago when my son was doing everything in the world BUT his homework. It was getting close to his bedtime and he was not doing it.

I used to be a very hot tempered person. That's what all my friends and relatives used to tell me. But, today, they are all so surprised and amazed that I have become such a patient person. They are saying it is a miracle ! LOL ! Well, it is not a miracle. I think it is just passing through the realities of life !

I am a patient person. Very high strung and patient at the same time if you can believe that. I haven't always been this way, just ask my family. LOL When I was young if someone wronged a family member they would come and tell me. They said I was the queen at telling people off. The telling off people is not something I am proud of however the defending my family part I am. Now that I have a much deeper faith, I have learned to be patient. I wait for the proper moment to give an answer, make a call, or maybe just let it go. My family is amazed yet agrees this is a much better way of going through life.

I'm always a patient person, In the past I'm hot headed when I'm mature I surely a patient person, I'm angry when the neighborhood have gossips about me, but still patient person. But I'm also human and one time I get angrier when things I couldn't control meself. Little things like delay food prepation - I would consider it because its small things, but one time when my cellphone is lost that time I'm exploding.

i used to be a patient person... but i think i had become a more aggravated and impatient person too nowadays... simple little thing can really trigger me and cause me to blow up... i know it is not a good thing... so i am trying to control my temper as much as i can nowadays and be more patient again like i used to be... i think the financial stress cause me to become the impatient person i am now... take care and have a nice day...

It depends what is with. At work im really patient. But when it comes to family and friend si tend not to be, especially my boyfriend. Just some of the stuff they do, I dont understand why they do it and it bugs me. Even if is something completely small and not worth it, but I dont know why I get frustrated. Like when my boyfriend cooks, and he goes to cut up something, and he needs a little piece, but he cuts the WHOLE thing. its a waste and he knows it but he still does. Stuff like that, Im not patient at all.

I am very patient until someone or things bothers reach maximum. Then i will burst like fire. I only get cool back after i scold that person. But i will regret later for doing that. The last time i lost my temper was two weeks ago.

I'm not a patient person, not at all. I get annoyed easily by the most insignificant things, especially when things don't seem to be going my way. I get agitated easily too, not to mention that my attention span is like that of a goldfish. I can't remember the last time I lost my temper and took it out on another person, though. I'm not the least bit patient but I do have loads of self-control. I guess that's a fair enough trade, at any rate. =)

It is said that patience is a virtue. I am not patient to the extent but have some good qualities of being patient.

Sometimes yes but most of the time no. Though nowadays I learned how to be more patient a lot. I try to relax more and not get affected from things that pisses and annoys me. Also, I try to emulate and instill or adopt some good qualities from the people that I look up to like Evan Dando, Oasis, Rancid, and a lot more..Most of all I try to meditate and breathe deeply more often.

We must learn to be patient because the patience could help us successfully resolve some problems sometimes, meanwhile, it does good to our health. Sometimes I am not patient especially when many things bother me, but I try to control myself intentionally and often successful.

I am quite a patient person, but at time I do loose my temper. I guess most of the time I tend to just hide our feelings no matter how irritated I am. And when I do that it will build up instead me until one point when I no longer can stand it, I will avoid the cause of it. If its because of a person then I will avoid that person. Its not the best way to handle it though but I just can't tell a person in the face that I don't like what they are doing so automatically I have to be patient. I think, you would regain being patient once everything cools off.. :D
