Everyone experiences being tested with their patience, whether it's your boss, friends, family, or some random people that you deal with everyday. But what do you do when patience is being tested? How do you hold back?

I agree with you mariaperalta, taking a walk for a fresh air is good because it enlightens your mind and you will be in a good composure when you come back. you can think good.

Maria, we can go to the park for having a picnic and take a walk. That is an imagination. I hope you are doing good there.

You should have to at least extend your patience. If you think that its a problem to you then why solve it. You can particularly control yourself like deep breath, meditate for a while or have a few walk for you to feel cool. If you want it to be cool.

Hi mhelisa, when young I was an ill-tempered person and easily to be grumpy. As time goes by one would become rather matured in thinking. I realize that grumpy couldn't get thing solved at all and most of the time would make it worse. Getting angry easily shows that we are not good in self-restraint or unable to control our temper. Mom always advises me to have a deep breath once about to explode. Do the best counting slowly from one to five or more to get ourselves cool down When calm down we would find actually there is nothing to be that angry and mad, seems like to explode. Happy posting and have a nice day

It is really hard to hod back such anger. What happens to be is I suddenly have difficulty in breathing. I hyperventilate. And it is pretty scary. So i really try not to be too mad.

I rarely get mad, because I think that some people just isn't worth the trouble and the energy. But when it is something that cannot be ignored, I just go to the bathroom or my room and calm down. Sometimes I also cry not because I am scared or hurt, but out of frustration. I know I could have also given in to my emotions and just blew my top off, but I try to be the bigger person as much as I can. After all, it will reflect badly on me.

Hi there Mhelisa! I rarely get mad. I could say that I am a very patient person. It's different when I was younger, though. Before, I am ill-tempered and would get mad easily. When I became a mom, I am more patient and more considerate of other people's feelings.

It depends on the occation, but usually I can`t help but raise my voice. I try not to explode, but my voice changes and I also feel that my face changes. It seems that once in a while every person in the world has his patience tested. And most of us react in some way or another.

When I get super angry I cry, I guess just to let it out. It's not something I can control, I guess my emotions just happen that way. Sometimes it gets me more mad that I want to be angry yet all I can do is cry! I try to take myself away from whatever is upsetting me or whoever is upsetting me... I go in another room or go outside to get some air. I am a very patient person though, it takes a LOT for me to get to that point.

I have a long patience but their are sometimes that it will be full I would probably be on fire. I'll just pose a while and deep breath for me not to talk, but if I can't help it i will cry in a certain place which i am alone. It makes me feel good if i cry it loud than to maintain it inside on you, it will make me so hot that probably i would punch on.
