How does impatience show up!
When we are impatient, we rush around often rejecting offers of help from others and thinking we can do it quicker, and probably better. We are often quick tempered, and irritable but also quick to calm down. We hurriedly dismiss ideas from other thinking we know best and are often quite intolerant – however there is always another side of we this.
Impatient people often act in a hurry, they cannot wait, people with this nature can become quite brusque with those who are slow and may be also tempted to finish their sentences for them or even try and finish they job they are doing
Impatient people will also be restless, fretful and jumpy, they will move and talk quickly and their body language can give them away easily.
Impatience often shows when we are standing in a queue and foot-tapping starts, or finger tapping on a desk, clock watching and fidgeting with frustration. These signs can be hugely irritating for other and considered quite rude.
Impatiens for Women
Some women find that their impatience is highlighted around PMT time and also then as the menopause starts to kick in it can also show itself again. You can be easily irritated by the slowness of others and your sharp words to them will often alienate you as other people will always work at their own pace. Your children can irritate you as well as other family members – this may not always create a happy family home.
