I hate to say this, but one of my key character flaws is intolerance. I'm not proud of it, and I would really like to change. If you're wondering what I mean when I say that I'm intolerant, I mean that I get irritated with people who come across as being less than intelligent. I know that that's rather snotty and arrogant, but that's often how I feel. I hate being so intolerant, so what can I do?

Aaron W: Actually, doesn't that make you intolerant, as well?:)

It is not snotty, or arrogant, it is how you feel. If you want to change, you can. The easiest place to change this would be to change your expectations of others. You are likely not upset that they are not smart, as much as you want them to be smart to make it easier for you. Try to accept people for who they are, not who you want them to be. It takes time and practice, but it may help you accomplish what you want. Similarly, we are often not upset about situations, but really upset about how situations do not meet our expectations. Think about it.Good luck.

no longer something says you may want to tolerate issues that are incorrect. That purely makes you a push over and ripe for better of an same remedy. I carry my acquaintances close. in the journey that they harm me circuitously I ask myself if their purpose change into to reason me discomfort or did they no longer imagine although they stated or did harm me? If I nonetheless valued that fellowship i might want to easily say that although transpired harm you tho you recognize that it change into no longer their purpose. you may want to be surprised what percentage cases something that harm you does no longer were stated or finished if the different human being had a clue that it would want to. all of us react otherwise to issues. Be sturdy to your self first tho, preserve you. deal with others the way you want to be dealt with and reduce your losses if a relationship isn't operating. assemble high quality human beings round you and there's no longer something to might want to tolerate!!!
