Are you calm, friendly and flexible, mostly happy to forgive and forget..?
Or do you demand that people live up to your expectations, willing to slash and burn when people let you down..?
How much inconvenience would it take for you to fall out with someone..?
and would you be honest about it on here....
what are you suggesting?! thats it. IM NOT YOUR FRIEND ANYMORE!
Quite a lot. I invest greatly in my friends and family and try to ensure that investment isn't thrown away... They are also very tolerant of me.
i'm a happy go lucky type. But I do charge at least five pounds per text message or email if I'm upset by you.
Yes. Thats a threat.

No, no, no, no & no
always found it strange, when I worked in an office, how much some people hated/disliked others as I don't, not anyone 😕
That thread is well funny. FWIW I have met and really like one of them, and the other always seemed pretty staightforward on the forum. Strange to see two usually sane regulars go so wierd at each other.
live and let live
used to be angry then The Buddha taught me
Holding on to anger is like picking up a hot coal in order to throw it at someone.
Peace

It only works if you don't hold onto it for very long before you throw it?

All. I'm gonna use the layering principle.
I've got near endless patience and and an extremely cool temper - it has actually become on of my professional U.S.P.s - where theres a particularly arsey, primadonna, rub-people-up-the-wrong-way client I tend to get booked to work with them as I can't get upset with people - on one occasion I've been headhunted simply to be a buffer between two people to prevent either from storming off the job.
I don't react to threats of violence either, I've sometimes had people spend a whole evening trying to prevoke a response from me and they just can't do it.
There are probably only 4 or 5 occasions in my life where I've properly lost my temper. The first and worst time was when I was at college - there was a guy on the course who had spent a lot of his childhood in care and borstal (we later came to appreciate) and his trait was he seemed to need to find the point where someone would snap back at him to know how to relate to them. He was a big, and frankly obviously dangerous looking guy too. He'd had run ins with one or two other people previously, and one night at a gig I'd organised and was djing at he started to needle me. I actually can't remember what he was saying or doing but after a couple of hours of it I snapped and started yelling - over the sound of the PA and hairdryer-ed him backwards through a crowd of 100 odd people and out the door.
Absolutely no idea what I said but when I came back in the room just seemed to be full of wide eyed fawns. Pretty much immediately I had no memory of what I'd said or done - so I don't actually know what I'm like when I'm angry. For about 2 years he couldn't even look at me - for one of those years we were even sharing a studio. Then one evening in the pub, on my birthday, he brought me a plate of food, said sorry and we were pals.
Never lost it like that since but there seems to be a once in 5 year cycle where I'll come close - there was a point where people started leaving the room even though I hadn't said or done anything. And I have had to calmly explain to one guy that if I stop smiling he needs to run.
