How Much?
We all have a certain number of nerves and some people manage to work your last one. My question is, how much is too much? How much can you tolerate - whether it be a person, a job, a situation you’re dealing with? And has your tolerance level changed over the years?
Personally, I used to put up with so much. No clue how I did it. Eventually, I guess I realized how rare a commodity time is. Hence, my tolerance took a steep drop. Yet, I wonder sometimes, has it gone too far? How do you know when your tolerance level is too low and impractical?

when you realize you don’t have any more friends, maybe its a time to start tolerating more :p
but yeah, as you grow older some things start getting more annoying hehe..

When you are feeling angry or bad all the time then you need to change your situation, you need to be appreciated rather then used or somebody annoying you. If its somebody you care about then talk to them, but if its somebody you don’t need in your life then just drop them! Thats what I think!

It depends a lot on what it is you’re dealing with. Most of the time I used to be tolerant as well, and it is true that over time it has gone down.. but there are things now that I tolerate more than before.. so it all depends. Mostly it depends on how important the thing is you’re tolerating, if you care about it/him/her/them then you should put more effort into tolerating, doesn’t mean you don’t step up and raise the issue! Soon however, things tend to fix themselves.

ammaro: or looking for new friends!
but yeah, when you find urself having probs with all your friends, it’s time to take another look at yourself!
Marzouq: totally agree!
N: hmm.. good point. now that i think of it, there ARE things that i do tolerate more now.

the question is, are you happy?
if you find yourself unhappy most of the time, maybe you need to start taking things on a more laid back note

i don’t tolerate a lot these days. i used to, like you, but not any more. when i get sick of it, i just leave the situation. i tend to get bothered mostly by the in-laws nowadays, and luckily for me, i can get up and come home, and not be bothered by the bs.
i think that, for me, as i’ve gotten older, i get sick of listening to ppl who think they know everything or to ppl who ask you a question but aren’t really interested in the answer. i just can’t stand it and will even go so far as to not speak to that person any longer.
yeah… it’s a bit harsh.. but why just let bad feelings well up inside of you all the time. it’s easier to let go of ppl who are no good for you… i truly believe this. some ppl are just toxic.

thinktank: not quite sure but it sounded like you were trying to insult me?
um naief: i feel exactly the same! allow me to add: people who seem to always be negative! there’s always something wrong and they always have a crisis.. mood always low and they end up just pulling u down with them. i refuse!
