Your tolerance to stress

Geeky Gothic Guy

Just curious as to whether other peoples tolerances to stress have improved as they’ve gotten older, or got worse. I feel mines got worse. I’m also a lot less tolerant with things. Simple things seem to stress me out more than when I was younger. What’s everyone’s else’s experience with stress tolerance?

  • My tolerance is very high through years of developing coping techniques, but I have found my willingness to accept it is much lower now.

    I find the opposite - I can ignore these things much more effectively. 

    I do find my patience with fools and idiots is lower now but I tend to walk away rather than say anything or upset them. Life is too short to put up with these wastes of time.

    At the same time I do have a lot of time for those I see struggling or in need of help, so long as they are not a fool or idiot of course. The amount of time I spend doing charity work is the highest it has ever been now.
