be more patient with people

Sometimes I’ m just too agressive to other people

I can get so impatient with people. I feel bad, because if the situation isn’t helping me, I usually can’t find the patience in my heart to give it to the other person..I really need to work on it and quit being selfish like that.

I am getting better at this. I know the following is extremely trivial, but here is an example. If my brother starts poking me non-stop, I usually freak out within the first few pokes. However, when the opposite happens, I can poke him forever and he’d go on with whatever he’s doing as if I’m not poking him. Lately though, he’d start poking me and I’d pretend he’s not doing it. He’d say something like ‘wow, you’re not even getting upset!’ and eventually give up. I am also trying to use the whole ‘count to 10’ idea to calm my nerves when I feel impatient.

This is something I really need to work on. My patience is never too high. For some reason, it’s worse with some people than others.
