I’ve not just started being like this😒 I’ve had it many many years.
I can I suppose be more tolerant to some people more than others.
Yesterday it really hit home,
We were at mil’s who’s now 86 although seems really happy, she as memory problems. She can remember lots of things from the past, but say nothing you’ve told her a few minutes ago. She will constantly ask the same questions and repeat the same stories over and over.
Dp can go with the flow and even encourage her with the same memories, so we get the repeated story over and over . It’s the same old shit every time, I know I should be more tolerate and I do start off like that, but after 10 times it grates on me.
You can have everyday chat, because she can’t remember what she’s done, seen or eaten so it’s hard what to chat about.
I end up giving daggers to dp to stop/ shut up. I just don’t find the things they laugh about as funny as them.
Me having anxiety doesn’t help either.
I came home yesterday feeling really bad about myself, to the point I even googled “ How To Be More Tolerant” I ended up feeling anxious and bad about myself.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can handle this?
Are you similar? How do you cope ?
I just feel I get angry, jealous or wound up with people, I do think a lot has to do with my anxiety feeling down some days and the things I’m unable to do, or feel comfortable/ relaxed doing and enjoying.
I feel anxiety/depression over the years(35+) as sucked the enjoyment of life out of me, and I’m left being serious person, who as a laugh not often.

Not very tolerant, to the point I can feel it building up anger inside of me
