I've been told I'm very patient by most people. Except my husband who often says I'm impatient. This really only applies to one thing that I can think of, though. That is waiting. I don't like it.
I don't like being early for things. (Of course certain things like work requires it, but leisurely things).
For instance, I purposely arrive late to movies, because I don't want to watch 20 minutes of previews. Not super late, but I get there at about the showtime.
Are you by chance an INFJ type? I am, and check yes to your whole list. Especially the movies. My son laughs. My timing is almost perfect every show.
@silvereyes similar in ways. Makes sense.
I'm pretty impatient a lot of the time.
However, I'm also chronically late for things no matter what I do. When I do manage to leave the house quickly enough, I'm the person who ends up hitting every red light or gets lost. Plot my course to avoid getting lost? Google leads me a merry chase all over town to end up in the wrong location. Start early? There's a wreck on I-5. Start even earlier? Arrive on time, traipse all over the building, unable to find the room I'm looking for, end up late anyway. I've managed to be on time for appointments about nine times out of ten, but social things is where it falls down. But if people want to drop me because of it, it's their loss.
I have heard that late people think more about themselves than they ought to, do you agree?
@Boudica Depends on whether 'think more about themselves than they ought to' refers to narcissism (for which one has to have a high opinion of oneself so lolnope) or being self-conscious (which I am, far too much).
I arrive right @ designated time in fact in fact when I did not arrive at exactly 6:30 for a poker game my friends called my wife to see if there was a problem which set in motion a series of events that wasn't very nice. They called the hospitals and the police just as I arrived 30 minutes late due to a car accident that held up everyone on the highway. My phone had died so no one could get in touch with me. I immediately called my wife who was very upset.
Second time was when I was on a two week hike and artrived 2 hours late for pick up. All went well however.
You are okay. Dont see anything wrong and spouses opinion is often not factual.
I am patient, except when dealing with idiot drivers or technology. I will pitch a fit if my cell phone or computer acts up....and I think people driving slow in the fast lane should be executed
Maybe just kicked in the balls.
I've been a patient. I've known some patients. I have no patients. They are very expensive to keep.
LOL!
Not since I escaped! mwueeheeeheee!
I'm not that patient. I'm too easily distracted.
Extremely patient. Except on the rare occasion when I'm not. Hit one of my triggers and I will snap. I don't like to be manipulated.
I'm not very patient, but some things I just accept, like traffic delays. If there's not much I can do about it, I figure there's no reason to get very upset over it. But when my father tells me about something that happened and his retelling takes longer than the actual events, I get a little peeved.
I am a very patient person, but I do have my limitations. I have to deal with some pretty irritating situations at work at times, and they can grate my patience. I warn my clients that "mean browneyedlady" is getting ready to make an appearance.
I think I can be impatient, but when it matters, and I am aware of myself, I can be very very patient.
Nope...I escaped...zing! BAM!....actually, I am very patient...too patient, maybe...
I am an impatient person who has learned patience over the years. I still haven’t figured out the virtuous part.
