To be honest with you I guess an outside observer would view me as being a very patient person in most aspects...whereas I view it more as biding my time for the right opportunity to speak up. But I guess in reality, yes...I would say I am patient.
My demeanor often appears very patient I'm sure. BUT I'm an introvet by nature (even though I can be outgoing and fit into any situatoin when necessary) so I tend to observe silently, process things internally and then act upon my conclusions...this takes a little time...therefore I appear patient LOL.
I would really say though that my ability to remain very objective (even our C says I am, which I took as a nice pat on the back) really helps my patience level. It's very hard to remain objective in the situations we HDWs find ourselves in...and the times that I've lost my patience, I've definitely lost my empathy & objectivity as well.
There's one very noticeable difference between you and I however Honeypot. I do allow myself a release, I do MB when I finally reach that "I can't stand this!" stage anymore. Or I grab my H and tell him "do you realize how long it's been since I have had an O?! End it ends now!" That usually does the trick too LOL.
If I didn't have some type of a sexual release I imagine my outlook would probably be very different. Although I've always been a "glass half full" type of a person too...so I imagine I'd still find a positive spin somehow on this too.
