Do you consider yourself patient?

yeah...patience is a virtue and I don't think that's one of mine too. I admire those people who can handle things patiently especially when they are pressured. To have patience, we should be patient (owww...)that's why it's not that easy to develop this virtue. we can't just say "I want patience... NOw!!!."

Yes, I'm patient...at least until i RUN OUT of patience! lol Serioulsy, I think I have a LOT of patience, but it isn't an infinite amount of patiences. I do get to the point where I just run out of patience. Sometimes, then, when I get to that point, it's not such a good thing. It's kinda of like a cork popping otu of a champagne bottle! I think my patience has increased over the years. I figured it's not worth it to be in a bad mood all the time because things aren't going the way I think they should be. I've learned to accept things as they are, for the most part. But, as a parent, it's alway a challenge to know when it's good to be patient and when to stand firm. I think part of the reason I have become tolerant of certain things is because I know myself well enough to know how angered I can become and I don't like it when I get like that. So, I've had to learn more patience.

I think I am a patient person unless I am being pressured by an impatient person because I really start to get stressed when someone else is pressuring me.

I am a very patient person and I understand there are times when there is nothing you can do except wait. What i do find impatient is when someone is blatantly making you wait because they are doing soemthing they shouldn't like chatting one of their friends when they should be serving you in that case I make it known that they are pushing my limits. Otherwise I am very patient and understanding. But please don't push me becuase patience and understanding have limits

yes its true, patience is the virtue of life.. and until now im still trying to apply it to my system. because honestly i dont have patience by all means. thats why i have lots of wrong moves before. but im very thankful now because i can control myself and i have patience already, though not that big huh. LOL

I think that overall Im a patient person. But when Im having a bad day or Im really tired than I become impatient. Like most of the time Im alright being stuck in traffic or catching a red light on my way to and from work, but some days I get impatient and I just cant stand waiting.

I am very famous for my impatience.I used to be very impatient as my birth star is Aries.And I just cannot tolerate stupidity.I used to be very impatient with people who react very slowly and people who are lethargic and dull.And nowadays I have learned to be patient and I think that I am trying to mellow with age.

Yes, my answer is in affirmative. I am very patient. If I am supposed to wait for somebody, I wait coolly because I know s/he might have stuck up somewhere. I do not lose my temper and one the person finally arrives I just ask for the reasons for his delay or else before I ask he explains the reasons for his delay. If I have asked somebody to come at a designated place and at an appointed time, I would wait approximately for half an hour, before I leave the place. Moreover, in the age of cell phone, I can also take the help of cell phone to know about his whereabouts.

I have 6 boys, so I do consider myself to be pretty patient.

I am like the most impatiend person i know... i hate waiting in line... and if there is another way... even if it is harder... i will take that just so i won't wait in line... i hate waiting too... that is why i would rather do things myself than wait around for people to come or finish the work that they are suppose to do...

hello there laydee. yes i think i am pretty patient. i don't get angry easily and i usually paused to think and reflect before doing or saying anything harsh. i am glad to have this virtue. lack of patience can create lots of problems.

I don`t reckon i`m the one who have much enough patience on everything.But my former boyfriend taught me how to get patience,he was in Hongkong,far away from my city,so we can`t meet each other everytime,phone and computer are the only connection between us.Cos there was some problems with the phone(the two tele-companies have different service,we could`t phone sometimes),both of us must have enough patience to face our situation,we could forgive each one`s faults and as far as possible to bear the lonely time.But the long distance always is a problem,we broken up peaceful at all. Well,it`s hard to get patience ,really,for me.

Wow, the boyfriend thing. What is the deal with that? I'm married now but I have been through that many a time. I just cannot go to bed angry because I know that the longer I have to wait to vent, the worse it will be. For him. I also can't stand people going round the houses or dressing up bad news with a long dragged out story. Just get to the point already! I'm an adult, I can take it. I love honesty, the more brutal the better. Gets everything out in the open and problems solved in much less time n saves me failing miserably at the patience game. I think this is all part of my anxiety though. I need to know and I need to know now therefore no surprises and no need to panic or worry. I'm also from the UK. The land of the queue. Drives me insane. And when people skip the queue it is just about enough to tip me over the edge. Oh my, there are just too many to list and i'm not patient enough to sit down and think of them all. However, when it comes to cooking, I am the most patient person alive. I can wait on a casserole for 5 hours and just leave it alone. It's my only savior.

I go with the impatient people. Yes, I hate waiting, thus, I am punctual. Yet some people can't read time. They're definitely my pet peeves - people who won't come in time of an arrangement and people who break promises. Maybe being too impatient is not good, it's like you're always rushing time. But for me, time is too precious to waste. I can wait, but it depends on my mood and the situation. Sometimes, people just won't understand how it is to wait. I do, so I definitely come on time. Waiting makes me frustrated. Thus, somehow, I need an anger management course.

i am totally like you. i HATE to wait! even my 15 year old daughter told me that i was the most impatient person she had met! i guess it is just that i hate to waste time becuase for me, time IS money!

I think that I am a pretty patient person in most cases. I do have to admit that there have been times where it was hard to maintain my tolerance because I really was expecting something at the time. Patience is really a good virtue to have. It shows a sign of maturity and I realize that we all lose it once in a while because we can't wait. I don't come across too much in my life where I lose my patience. I do have a five year old son that can try me once in a while when he gets a little erratic but I handle it in the best way that I can. As for waiting for things I think that I have become pretty used to having to just hold out until something comes along that I have bee waiting for. You probably need to work on your skills a little bit and just try to wait for things. They will get there in their own time. People will probably appreciate you much better also if you can express more patience and such. I wish you luck with this. Take care laydee.

Rightly put - "Patience is a great virtue". But this virtue is a remote concept for me, however, though I have slightly upgraded myself in this. If some one was expected to arrive at a fixed time and no trace for more than half an hour I am gone nuts. If i do not locate the book I had kept somewhere after going halfway through I am impatient. If the my wife is not at home by the supposed time I am gone. But now I have been learning to remain cool and wait till the book is discovered. In my retrospection I think going impatient is inviting stress and tension which are the guests for diseases like hyper tension and neurological disorders.

I can be, and I'm forcing myself to be more patient. Btu I have to admit, a lot of times or most of the time I can be quite impatient. hahahah

i don't think that i was really that patient... it is because of pressures and negative occurrences that changed my views towards prioritizing patience...

well as for me... sometimes i am patient and sometimes, im not specially if it takes me alot of time. then that would be a different situation. time is also precious, you know. and how could we do the things we must do, if they dont value our time and effort.
