do you consider yourself as a patient person?

I not a patient person, my friend said, I talk fast, sometimes I not have little patient to wait. I feel that I also got a little patient, like listening from my friend when they want to find someone to talk or just listen want they say.

I would say, I am not a patient person, but I am trying to be... hahahah... Well, there are times that I can hold my temper but I usually retaliate when somebody is angry with me. Much more if they are not reasonable? good if I made a mistake, I can consider to be quiet, though I also give reasons but if somebody is just angry with me because he feels it? wow!!! I easily burst out my side giving my reasons and probably throw things if he wouldn't stop hahahaha...

I think, I am more or less a patient person. I would listen and act patiently and also take things that I shouldn't and for which I am not accountable. Basically cool but sometimes things get over my nerves when I am being irritated purposely. I do lose cool on that occasions. Its important to control anger for it affects our health more than anything else. I know it hurts but try to let go and move on. Thanks.

Hey kenchi! Darn, I thought I was the only one in this world that was like that!! Good to meet someone else that goes through life the same way I do. Most of my friends say that I have the patience of a saint. I am very laid back, I don't let much really get to me, but if I get fed up or teed off about an issue, the watch the fireworks fly! My daughters told their husbands that I was a real nice guy, until I got mad. They were advised not to do anything that would get me going. HA! I'm a real wimp and pussycat. Until I erupt! My wife thinks so also. At work, I'm known as easy-going. But an issue has come up over the past year that I have come to be unable to tolerate. I kept it to myself for just so long, then started to let it out slowly. Letting them know how much I disagreed with what they (management) were doing. It built up until I thought that they were no longer listening. So, in an e-mail, I let loose. No swear words, no cuss words, but I let them know I viewed them as stupid and not in their right minds. Point blank, FIRE! Got myself suspended a day without pay!

I am extremely patient, however when people test my patience I usually feel very hurt and if it continues then I usually try to distance myself from that person or just tell them how I feel and what they are doing is wrong.
