tolerance

Post Reply New Topic

would your friends and family consider you a highly tolerant person?

They'd say that I'm more tolerant than most people.

CockneyRebel would have to be one of the most tolerant people here. I'm not at all tolerant when my progress is slowed by something or someone, but when it doesnt affect me in any way, I dont give a rats ass

the lack of replies is curious.

i'm not very tolerant although trying to get better at it. so 2/3 of the replies to this thread are not tolerant.

Not really sure. My mum says I should tolerate people more, but that's after she either laughs or yells at my symptoms. It's hard to tolerate people who don't tolerate you.
I try to be tolerant but I have my limits.

What do you mean by 'tolerance?'

That is, what is the context in which it's framed?

I can say I am intolerant, but this would be of people who are prone to chewing with their mouth open and smacking their lips.

I can say I am tolerant of people who are differant then me, so this has a differant context.

Bu other then that, I don't know how to respond...

My family might say no because I don't put up with their racism.

My friends might say yes because civil rights and dealing with societal inequalities and oppression is one of my special interests, and I met most of them through that.

Somewhat, I guess. I only believe in tolerating people as much as they tolerate me.

thanks for the replies guys; they are helpful
