This one is about perception of time. The consensus seems to be that age is inversely related to perception of time, which means that one becomes increasingly patient as one ages. The intuitive understanding of this concept seems to be why a lot of people think I am a part of the parental generation of the current parental generation.

Sorry about the other post. It seems the third option was left out.

HIGH AS f**k

I couldn't stand waiting for half an hour for my iphone to sync today so I deleted all the apps, swore at my computer, yelled at the top of my lungs, punched my bed, sweat balls, threw my scarf at the wall.

Eventually, when it was finished. I was back to normal.

I also run, almost everywhere. Even if I have all the time in the world

Me too. Even if my computer freezes for less than 10 seconds I almost go into a meltdown because it feels so long. Although knowing how obsessed we all are with the internet in this day and age, I can picture NTs doing that too.

Anyway, I'm extremely impatient either way and time passing often feels like slow torture.

Could the overly patient people explain why?

It depends a lot on the situation & the circumstances for me & if I'm doing something/busy or not

With animals, I am very patient. With people, and situations that I can't control, I'm very impatient and overly fidgety.

I have never really been patient. Always in a rush.

I used to have a tendency to be impatient but over time I've made myself become more patient.

I'm pretty impatient because if it's something I don't want to do/have happen, I just want it over with. If it's something I do/have happen, I want it to hurry up and be here.

It depends entirely on the situation.

I'm really not sure. Maybe because I feel like I'm going to be lied to and have the promise broken. I really don't like that.

I'm very impatient and I'm often very punctual.
So my mum said often to me, that I'm too hectic.
And if I have very little time for anything I'll panic and more and more hectic.

I have NO patience! Waiting in line is like a slow agonizing death to me. And of course, what would make it worse is some joker wants to suddenly talk to you about the weather or politics or sports! Even sitting in a waiting room like DSHS or the DMV is akin to being water-boarded. Calgon! Take me away!

For me, it depends on the situation.
