Patience

[mstng86]

Do you have it?

–noun 1. the quality of being patient , as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like.

I have noticed over the last few years I have less of it. I thought as you get older your give a shit meter gets weaker and you just kind of let things go.

I find that if I am in the middle of something, and someone bothers me, I get really irritated. Is this just a flaw I have more than likely developed, or is it just an overall issue for most people?

[papapepper]

It's a virtue


I'm the same way.

[Sean88gt]

Nope.

[mstng86]

When you say No, is it in certain situations, or in general? I have patience with mostly everything else, but people really irritate me when they start trying to tell me something while I am in the middle of something else.

Depending on my mood I can be universally impatient.

I am, very. I only get impatient with really small stupid things that don't matter. Anything important, I'm generally really patient.

For the most part I am a very patient person. I am very cool and calm. However there are certain situations that will set me off like a firecracker. But I also know how to calm down relatively quickly.

[quikag]

I also have a patience and anger problem. It manifests itself easily on the road where I deem most others around me as incompetent drivers.

I think the root cause of impatience and anger is pride. I think the Bible talks a little bit about these issues.

[papapepper]

I'm like the OP claims.... If I'm in the middle of something and swamped and someone is trying to tell me something I get very annoyed.

[Cannon88]

Never had it, never will.

[Mike]

No.

[Steve]

Martial arts, marriage and my two year old daughter have taught me alot of patience. So, yes I'm a very patient person.

While I wouldn't call myself a patient man I am much more patient then I was in my youth and notice my increasing patience with each year.
