What does it mean to be tolerant to you?

@amiablePeace77

Is it about putting up with things or more? 

For me yes it’s about putting up with things/people or more no matter how you feel or if you like it or not. 

What helped you to you develop tolerance?

Seemingly I was born with it. I say that bc honestly I’ve always had it. Idk how or why I’ve had the high level of tolerance I have but somehow I’ve always had it and still do :)

This is an interesting question, and I’m happy you’ve ask this.

Tolerance to me does not necessarily mean having no boundaries or merely “putting up” with things or someone. If someone is physically beating you up, tolerance does not mean being okay with it and not defending yourself.

Tolerance to me, is about being nonjudgmental as best as you can. You can be nonjudgmental towards someone trying to hurt you by seeing past the veil and understanding that they are trying to hurt you to help cope with their own inner turmoil. You can do this while defending and protecting yourself without aggression or anger. A detached response is possible while remaining compassionate. Whatever they present to the world is an opportunity to see through them and into what lies underneath it all.

Tolerance is about finding empathy even when it is hard—and even with yourself. Tolerance means being able to have patience with both yourself and others by understanding humanity better. Whether it’s dealing with someone who exhibits negative character traits at the workplace or are trying to grow from their hurtful past and do better in a relationship, tolerance is at the core of being more present and kinder to ourselves and the world.

That's an important question. Being tolerant generally means having an open and accepting attitude towards people, beliefs, or behaviors that are different from your own. It involves respecting the rights, opinions, and choices of others, even if they don't align with your personal views.

Tolerance implies a willingness to be patient, flexible, and non-judgmental when encountering diversity. It's about recognizing that reasonable people can have different perspectives, values, or lifestyles, and that this diversity should be respected rather than condemned.

At the same time, true tolerance doesn't mean blindly accepting anything or everything. It's about finding a balance - being open-minded, but also having the discernment to distinguish between differences that are benign versus those that may be harmful or unethical. The goal is to cultivate an attitude of understanding and compassion, while still maintaining your own moral and ethical boundaries

tolerance to be is accepting that I may not agree with you, so we agree to disagree. It’s also perspective like ok there’s excessive traffic today, i will still get where I am going and maybe put out by it but it’s not worth the fight and rage. 

Tolerance is wanting to change things you don’t like, wanting it to be different, yet you are unable to and recognising that so moving forward without wasting energy or time on it.

what helped me and actually blew my mind when first learned not long ago is, we can only control our actions. Tolerance builds rapidly when things outside your control are recognised for exactly that. Tolerance to others actions personally is easier when there’s no personal responsibility attributed. 

🤷🏻‍♀️.

Just going with flow, keeping quiet, avoiding confortation, being hidden.
