How tolerant a person are you?

I am not overly tolerant, if I am perfectly honest.

I find a lot of people annoy me so I assume I am therefore not over tolerant!

This could have something to do with being alone however, as I was not quite like this when I had a partner -now I just please myself and enjoy being alone.

I'm pretty tolerant, but some people challenge me a lot.

I am tolerant in some matters and not with others. It depends really!

Generally speaking I don't think I am an overly tolerant person but once again..to echo other answers..it depends on the situation

It depends on the situation how much I will tolerate

by AJ

Generally,I am a very tolerant person,and I am consistently so in all manner of things! I believe this is due to how I was raised,and I bless my parents for this lovely legacy. It takes a lot to ruffle my feathers,but when they ARE ruffled, heaven help the person responsible for this happening!!! I am only human after all,so I am allowed to have some 'off' moments.Fortunately I do not tend to have many of them!!

I'm becoming less tolerant as I get older but still think I am a reasonably tolerant person. Really depends how my tolerance is being tested!

by Sandy Ludinski

I am certainly not very tolerant when It comes on a lot of things.

The older I get the more tolerant I get. Tolerance makes the world a kinder place!

Usually I am a very tolerant person. I always have been. However, I find it hard to be tolerant about intolerant people !!

I'm a bit that way Marie. I visited an elderly person in an Aged Care facility lately and I couldn't believe the sarcastic answers and comments made to elderly dementia patients from the nursing or nursing assistants in that place. Tolerance didn't seem to feature at all therein, and I felt myself becoming very intolerant or their attitude.

Reasonably tolerant, I think

Not really,
but do accept others have different ways and attitudes, most are self centred though, few are pleasant or will say good morning back when greeted.

If a person is rude I will say something, if someone pushes their way in line I will inform them where the end of the line is.I will also inform parents with screaming pinkalicious children that I do not have to listen to their offspring and tell the child to stop. If parents are to ignorant to say something I will.

I can be very tolerant in certain situations- caring for my Grandmother with dementia, stuck in traffic, helping someone who cannot help them self, things that are beyond control. I am not tolerant about other things - rudeness , people invading my privacy or space,bullies, loud noises or noisy people, cigarette smoke, litter, inconsiderate behaviour...lots of things really

I guess I have been over tolerant all my life.

Then about 6 years ago, the change came....I wast told not to let people walk all over me, and it was a wake up call.

I thought it was part of life to put up, and shut up!
Came at a big price, but now at 63...well with some courage, I say what I have too.
(I hate doing it- because old habits died hard, it's the lesser of the two - and helps me stay strong).
