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.
I used to be relatively patient. I liked to arrive at least 10-15 minutes early for everything. I would always have a novel with me, and would read it while I waited.
Then I married and had children. It seems that no one else in this house believes in being any earlier than 20 minutes late for anything. I started to get into this habit myself, but I've been working to turn it back around, particularly when it's just me.
I'm pretty patient. Probably more than I should be...
Yes and no. I was programed early as a child to always arrive before everyone else. To always be early. I can wait hours for appointments that I've arrived early for. I also am very impatient with certain kinds of people, though
I'm very patient with some things like my art and completely the opposite if someone says they will be around my house to pick me up at a certain time even before the said time.
I have little patience, like my dad was. On some things I do, like things you HAVE to have patience with. I do not have patience with young people. I work with a lot of younger people who think they know it all. Ain't got time for that.
I have patience in abundance. But ... it is highly selective. I can deal with the presence of stupid for approximately 10 nanoseconds. Willful ignorance (a trait of many of the religious) I can handle for no more than 5 nanoseconds. Children and young adults are cool, as long as they don't display the aforementioned traits.
I'm pretty patient. I've waited about 20 years to get on with my life because of the egoist party... Know what I mean? I like to be patient. It helps. But sometimes I would like to just slap somebody in the face!!!
