How do you maintain tolerence?

[Enchant]

How tolerant do you think you are? I like to think I am very tolerant. Being a mother I really have to be....and the years have helped me gain tolerance....but I am human and at the moment very hot (dang A/C broke) and my irritation is at a high.

what makes you finally say enough is enough? Are you fortunate not to have reached that boiling point? I am finding myself at the moment fustrated. I try to be helpful and considerate always. But there are times such as tonight when I find myself confronted with mind games and foul mouth....I am of the mind I dont take it from my kids, I am not going to from others. So I say enough is enough. However, when I sit back and start reflecting on it....I often wonder if its a child/teen calling out for help an... attention seeker if you will....Why do I always seem to feel remorse when I do say enough is enough, even when I do feel I was in the right....and how does one maintain there dignity when trying to maintain such tolerence.

I know its a bit deep, but Iam curious to find out the differnet points of views young and older. Thanks for tolerating this post....

Thats good you're very tolerant and all ... but honestly I'm only 50% tolerant.

One thing to keep in mind while on PBS is that while everyone here claims to be over 13, there are many who are simply lying. Their maturity reflects that. I've learned to take anything I read on this board with a grain of salt.

Hmm.. Just anything that insults my pride and nature I guess.

Sometimes just 100% idiocy does the trick.

lol no it wasn't directed at you at all. Just a general observation from my time here on support is all.

I'll admit I have a nasty temper, but I usually hold it in because I KNOW I overreact a lot. I usually blow up when I'm dealing with someone at school or work who starts bashing gays, other race's, religions, ect. I can't stand close-minded, overly judgemental people and I have no problem going off on them.

do you often find yourself feeling a bit of remorse ofter words or do you see red all the way through and say with out hesitation enough is enough?

Well i dont know about you DR ... but i have found even adults act like children alot ... so sure they all could be over 13 ,and act like they are five.Most people have done it at some point or another.No matter what their age is .We all have a kid inside us, and sometimes we let it out the wrong ways .As for tolerance...It depends on what the situation is..If its something petty i let it go..If its down right disrepectful, i call them on it...So yes it depends on the situation.Never lets anyone no matter who it is disrepect you, without at least telling them a thing or two.

Even though it wasn't directed to me, I'll answer this too.

I only get remorseful if I feel that what I said/did was utterly and completely disrespectful/wrong.

so you feel confrontation helps maintain your dignity? Do you think that this tolerence towards the other person?

It depends on the situation. If I go off on the type of people I listed above, I don't feel bad at all. I usually feel pretty good, lol. My school has a lot of bully's and the only way to get them to leave you alone is to stand up to them. Now, the other day I was in a really bad mood (PMS) and my boyfriend got me a regular pop instead of diet so I started screaming at him over it. A little while layer I did feel bad because I know he didn't deserve it so I had to go and apologize.
