Are you a patient person?

As a general rule, I'd say no, perhaps. I mean: I don't like it when things go wrong, and will experience an instant rush of white hot rage if they do. I require an instant result from my efforts or labour, or I suffer powerful rushes of intense rage. On the other hand, with human beings, as a general rule, I'm a pretty patient person. In general, I'm very controlled in terms of expressions of anger with others, and know very well how to curb my tongue and temper. I don't feel I have the right to inflict myself negatively on others, and will strive at all times to be considerate and empathetic with others. I hate hurting peoples' feelings without cause, and will go to great lengths not to. However, as I implied earlier, I'm an intense; passionate individual, and very penetrative, mentally speaking, and this can express itself in strong opinions; and sharp eyes. I can feel ashamed by this in me; because sometimes I feel these piercing glances can disturb others. And I can show my anger somtimes too, but actually quite rarely, because I truly loathe upsetting others with anger; and also (more selfishly) turning their anger against me. So in general, I'll avoid all conflict at all costs. I often pray to God to make me a kinder person; and for Him to soften my heart.

hi, patience is my watch word.I would rather walk away then have confrontation.I am on my third teenager child and beleave me patience is a virtue.I can generally hold my self together,but on the odd occasion I lose it. I am also have two grandchildren as well.I have more patience with them as I would hate to think they went home thinking nanny is a misery.I try to be firm but fair,usually they are fine sometimes they argue and a scrap breaks out.Katie is nine years old and you would thing she was fourteen sometimes,her younger brother connor is seven and tends to walk into trouble and does not even realise he spends most of his time stunned but his older sister shouting the odds.poor little chap.So patience is a necessary part of being a grandparent.In actual fact patience is a necessary part of life unless of course you want to spend your life fighting and arguing .I will keep the peace but will not be walked all over,I tend to tell someone outright then stay away from them.Then it is up to them.I am a friendly person and try to see the good in everyone occasionally someone takes advantage of my good nature but thats life.xx

There are times with any relationship to always be Patient and never argue. The thing is learning to work everything out. No matter what you are going thru at the time if you learn to talk about it, and find ways to work things out. No matter who you are even if you have been married to a person for 50 yrs. will have days where things just will not always go the Best. But when you learn to work thru them and improve on them everything will always be OK.

Patience makes a person strong and wise. Indeed, it is good to be patient to make a relationship going...but it is also hard to be patient all the times. I am a patient person but once in the blue moon I get extremely impatient due to bothering behaviour of others.

I am patient with numbers but not with sensitive topics like religion and family :D Sometimes, people say something that would really hurt your feelings. I don't mind if someone would say that I am ugly or that I look like garbage, but I would be very upset if someone would say that I look like garbage like my family. I guess that is too low below the belt. So mine is it depends.

hmm you are right dominique actually we dont have to come in that all messy things but sometime situations are coming like that there we having not any other option & we are getting involved in that all but we should try to stay out of all this problems and having a patient to understand that actually whats going on behind us.thanks.

I do try to be patient with people, but I have to say that sometimes I can lose my cool when people are slow and don't do the things that they have promised to do. An example of this is that I had arranged to go out with one of my friends next week, and I said to her that I was free for the whole of the week and that she should let me know the day that she wants to go. It is now the end of this week, and she hasn't got in touch with me yet, meaning that I haven't been able to make any plans for next week because I have to wait and see what she says. So I can't wait until she finally lets me know, because then I can sort the rest of my week out as well.

Hello i try to be a patient person as long as i can and it is depend on my mood. If the arguments really deep and need a close door talk i need to be patient at all time. Meaning it is a serious talk. If the situation is easy and i know it was just a simple one i play along the situations. I love to annoy and play a person i loved. This only happened most in our home. But if i have the serious one talk with friends i need to be very careful and be patient at all. Sometimes being quite may help us to motivate to listen and calm. Most of the time important to me to be patient at all times in order to think wise and good. have a nice day to you...

I can't say I am a patient person, nor I would say I didn't change my habit. I usually impatient about waiting, but somehow I realized it, even though I want things to speed up, I just don't have the power to make it happen. Why not close my mouth, and wait for it. People just learn it slowly, and maybe that is what we need for our lives.

I try be patient as much as possible because I don't want to hurt other's feeling. Words are powerful, once you said you can't hold it back. If I am stress, I easily lost my patience so I just take a deep breath, think and be quiet for awhile. In that way, I can think rightly.

Way back before, I know I am a patient person but then from time to time I can feel that my patience is not that long anymore. I easily get irritated. Well, I think that's just the way I am really. I can't avoid it. Though I tried to sometimes, I have to try and calm down just to avoid being irritated and same as the people around me.

I am a patient person. Usually too patient. I absolutely hate confrontations of any kind so I try avoiding them like the plague, lol. I like things being peaceful and calm. I do not like fighting at all. And with children I am even more patient...

I am exactly like you! I shouldn't be but that is just how i am made and i wouldn't want to be any other way. sometimes it infuriates my husband because he is always the one who is stressed, or worried about something or another. Don't get me wrong, i do worry but not about what normal ppl worry about. i guess im not normal and im ok with that. did u know ppl take advantage of me? they always tell me im a nice person and that im too good. i dont know how to respond to that so i just smile and nod my head and go about my day...my husband, however, hates that im too nice and almost all the time he stops me from being me. but when im not around him, im me...does that make sence??

I usually have long patience in this cause I dont like arguements or whatsoever but there are times, instances and situations that my patience last especially when I cant take it anymore.Maybe we should cut our patience for awhile so that other people realized that we are just human who also get mad once im awhile.

Patience. I do not know if I belong to the patient or not. In some ways, I can be patient. But, there are some things that made me impatient. I think, of all people, too, have in common with me. But, obviously. I do not like to fight

I am very patient but once someone said (reading my handlines) I am not. So if this would be true it would mean I act patient and this also would mean I am not me and I have a lot of stress because of that or? You can bully me for years, same with abusing, that happend for years as well, so if it comes to that I did change. I don't care to wait in lines (mostly I am always the last no matter if it was my turn already ages ago), perhaps I learned by now it's useless to force things and this way (being patient) a lot of problems solve themselves? I doubt if not getting into arguments or disagreements with others has anything to do with being patient. To me it sounds more as if you don't find yourself, your own ideas, believes, interesting enough to expres to others or to explain or "defend".
