i hate more and more people as i get older.

I dislike a lot of human characteristics, but at the same time it's rare I meet someone I don't get on with or have a problem being around. So no, I certainly wouldn't say I dislike people.

I can tolerate alot of people, yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean i like them.

I'm an exceptionally sociable person and tend to get along - to some extent - with the majority of people i meet; i even manage small-talk with my peasantry colleagues.

However, if i take a disliking to someone, i just tend not to converse with them...this happens rarely, but does occasionally prop its head

and I'm finding I'm getting a lot less tolerant as I get older. The slightest thing sends me into a blood boiling rage, like walking through town and people walking into you. Am I invisible? And pushing a trolley round a supermarket is no fun at all, especially when the isles are full of little old people. Don't get me started on kids!!

tolerant of stupid things, particularly on television. Like male anti ageing cream adverts, or Nadine Baggert talking about pentapeptides, or T4, or Eastenders etc.

then i started spending time here

and as I get nearer to 30, I do find myself becoming more tolerant of people. I guess I have just learnt to bite my tongue a bit more. I still think a fool is a fool, but I just know when not to say it out loud now.

Some things I'm less tolerant about and others more tolerant about.

Cheers

and no, quite the opposite. Though I think living in London and using the Tube on a regular basis, surrounded by people whose main purpose is apparently to do my head in, has made me less tolerant and patient with people rather than my advancing years.

i use to be quite angry and want to change the world alot now ive sort of hidden from the things i dont like so am not as angry. i.e dont really watch tv. dont go to pubs. Work issolated with semi smart people. etc.

I wouldnt say ive grown more tollerant thou, i just have found ways to shut those people and things out.

i get on with everyone i meet pretty much.i put up with thewm at least cos i dont like conflict

and halfway towards Hitler, trust me.

I'm 26 and I think nowadays I think I'm a lot clearer on the things I will and won't tolerate.

I probably am a lot less likely to get annoyed about petty stuff but place more value on respect and human decency (and probably more significantly more value on myself). So I'm probably more tolerant of views and opinions different to mine but less likely to take shit from other people.

there are just more cunts around now than when i was a nipper.

I'm just becoming slightly more tolerant.

It's been 3 months since I last cracked a smile.

apart from a small group who i realise that you could spend all your time catering for and would then end up neglecting most others

depends on the individual and their life experiences/attitudes I guess.

i go through phases of rage, but mostly im chilled. I used to be untouchable when i was younger, everything was awesome, but now i despise a LOT of stuff, and most people.

a stranger is not a friend you havent met, its a cunt you havent found a reason to hate yet

but less forgiving

i'm definitely becoming less judgmental

Without getting into a whole backstory, I've come to realise that anger, arguments, grudges and all that bullshit - they're just toys to play with. You don't need it. You just let it go.

Whether or not I like or dislike someone depends on a whole load of variables that are usually only ever in a particular combination once. My age isn't really one of them.

I used to despise everyone and throw things at people, like fruit.

Nowadays, I merely sneer.

and the majority of people I work with really annoy me - they're mostly around 16/17, and so so inane, they love the sounds of their own voices, and they're all quite selfish. I'm not suggesting that I was any great generous sage at that age, but they do my fucking head in. Stupid customers do also, people who can't work simple technological things like video recorders and internet booking systems, and people who are preoccupied with what other people think of them/the way they look. There are probably more, I'm pretty intolerant, hence only have about 5 friends...
