im so intolerant of people these days. I find most people are hard work and it's worse as i get older. Anyone else like me?

Yes, most people annoy me, I'm amazed I have any friends left Confused

CardsforKittens · 07/09/2019 21:29

Possibly my age, or maybe the current political situation, but I’m very easily annoyed at the moment. And yet I still expect people to tolerate me... My younger colleagues keep reminding me that most people are decent. I want to believe them.

IAmALazyArse · 07/09/2019 21:29

I am so glad I am not the only one😂

Yes human beings piss me off I was on a Facebook page where they put up this cute thing what would you change in the past that would help you today I said not get married and go back to work sooner apparently that wasn't the point of the post FUCK OFF if I hadn't married him I wouldn't have to wait to divorce him because he is an abusive twat who wont sign the papers and tells everyone it's my fault! Its exactly the point of the post!

Plus there are too many humans everywhere I go bloody people even in my own home Grin

Yes I can be horribly intolerant, it's one of my worst traits. I hide it well enough to keep a job and couple of friends 😂 I can't even blame it on being old!

mightyminty · 07/09/2019 21:34

I’ve become more tolerant of people the older I get, BUT, I’m now less worried about what people think of me ... so probably more authentic/honest now

stoneysongs · 07/09/2019 21:36

I have a particularly low tolerance for middle aged men with massive yet fragile egos. There seem to be several in my life at the moment and I find it very difficult to hide how I feel about their pathetic willy waving.

MyNameIsIrrelevant · 07/09/2019 21:36

Oh I'm insanely intolerant but I blame my mental health and drugs! 🙈

MyNameIsIrrelevant · 07/09/2019 21:37

By drugs I mean legal mental health associated drugs!

wildcherries · 07/09/2019 21:38

I would be happiest in a cabin the woods, I think. I'm annoyed at other people most of the time.

Inebriati · 07/09/2019 21:38

I don't think I'm more intolerant, its that more and more people seem to be massive dicks.

Llamalovestheweekend · 07/09/2019 21:39

i dont really give a shit about things that dont affect me either

I'm more tolerant now than I used to be. In fact I'm only really intolerant of intolerance.

Llamalovestheweekend · 07/09/2019 21:44

Not very with people these days. I am bothered by things that don't directly affect me though. I haven't lost all empathy.

Redshoeblueshoe · 07/09/2019 21:45

I was sooo tolerant.
Now no
Everyone can just fuck right off !

Crotchgoblins · 07/09/2019 21:47

I think I'm very tolerant but I think in general society is becoming less tolerant. I'm not sure whether it's social media having an effect. One dodgy comment 10years ago on Twitter and you can lose your career.

We've also been divided and polarised by Brexit I feel. Same with trump in America. We seem to resist in echo chambers more and discount different views. We lost the art of debate with resorting to insults like 'remoaners'

I wouldn't have believed what our country has become 10years ago

Llamalovestheweekend · 07/09/2019 21:47

i was very tolerant and polite but ive been screwed over so much

When you are an old(er) lady like me you will spend some happy times mentally wishing you could get a taser on e-bay - or wonder if you could fit a pearl handled revolver in your handbag. Yes some people irritate me too!

I used to be very tolerant and now have zero tolerance. I find people self important and entitled. Where before I would try to accept and understand people's 'quirks', now I can't be arsed and feel so much happier.

Siameasy · 07/09/2019 21:54

Not very tolerant and sympathy level is sub zero for most things I have more time for insects these days than most people in fact I had a nice time this afternoon hanging out with a Devils Coachhorse beetle while DD played at the park

I definitely have compassion fatigue

Llamalovestheweekend · 07/09/2019 21:55

Why the fuck does my ex still think were friends?!? that's what im intolerant of

OP posts:
Charles11 · 07/09/2019 21:57

I’m really chilled out with most people. I don’t take crap but I find most people are pretty decent.
My dh and a friend are becoming more intolerant and I find it difficult listening to their moaning.
I’m so thankful I’m not that miserable. It must be hard dealing with all that negativity.
