Infinite patience for those who put some effort in... Zero patience for those who don't... Trying to be better though.

I am a very patient person. It's a good thing because my parents have tested that to its absolute limit. What does make me want to stick pins in my eyes though is when my brothers and other relatives tell me "I don't know how you do it". I want to shoot "I wouldn't have to do so much if you lot shifted your lazy arses".

So... there's that

Depends on the intention of the person. If someone is genuinely trying, I have all the patience in the world. That tends to come down more to your own understanding of communication and are you making yourself understood in a way they understand. It doesn't occur to most people that not everyone communicates or understands things in the same way they do.

If someone is an irredeemable twat then absolutely none.

Infinite patience. I try to be nice, be kind, and help the other person. Some ask the same questions, week in week out. Have been for years. You gotta hand hold when needed. We all learn differently, and I have found that some do not learn at all, no matter how hard I try or reframe the knowledge and teaching.

And that's ok.(They're probably embarrassed asking the gazillionth time.)

I just smile, reassure them, and help them.

Doesn't need to be any more complicated than that, and why get stressed about it ? Their problem is my opportunity, and it puts food on my table for which I am grateful.

My friends generally regard me as being pretty patient and I like that. I think a lot is just being able to bite your tongue, or ignore the minor irritations of life, or at least realise you probably irritate people, too and a little bit of give and take goes both ways.
