I have a zero tolerance for negativity what do you have a zero tolerance for

12 years ago

People who tell me what a good friend I am and then proceed to not make the effort to improve/keep the friendship up. All under the guise of "I'm so busy" Bull! I'm busy too. I have a social life, I have a several things I do everyday and different income streams. But I always. ALWAYS. make time for my friends. Even if it is a 5 minute telephone conversation. Sometimes, in my darker musings, I wonder if perhaps some type of catastrophe might be a good thing, to snap people back to reality that all the i-this and toys do not and never will replace relationships.

Would have to agree with you, this is my zero tolerance. When I meet people like this, they are very soon deleted from my invitation list. Funny thing though, also found with this type of person they expect you to jump when they need help.

People who are stuck in the "play it safe, get a good job" groove, and feel that they have to share this opinion with everyone else.

No matter how much money you've got in the bank, and how successful you are in IM, there's always one of these scaredy-cats who just has to tell you to "get a job."

We're interested in weaning ourselves off of depending on others...one employer...for our survival. Anyone trying to infect me with their Chicken Little mentality gets frozen out fast.

  I used to say 'negativity'. Then I started noticing that 'can't' is probably the most useful word in my vocabulary.
  
  By sitting down and writing down the negative: "why am I not making money right now this second", "why can't I get this to work?" and then answering the questions, I get ahead a lot farther. "why am I not making money right now? How do I change that?" is a lot more useful than trying to be eternally like 'yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine...'
  
  The only things I can think of as 'I have zero tolerance for them' are all things best not mentioned on this forum! ^ ^

I have zero tolerance for zero tolerance. I cannot command the world to conform to what I think it should be. Yes, it disappoints me. But my rules are not what the world lives by. A bit humiliating! But what can you do?

Everything in moderation. Especially moderation.

I am hesitant to have zero tolerance for anything. It's an extremist position, and only focusing on what's right (or even trying to define what's "right" and "wrong") is limiting and ignores the comprehensiveness and inevitable nature of reality. We live in a world of opposites and both can and should be embraced and utilized.

To have zero tolerance at all for negativity, ever, means you are going to have a LOT of needless disappointment in life. All the things you suppress, repress, and resist WILL manifest themselves, and probably in unconscious ways outside of your control when it happens, self-defeating behavior, etc.

Thanks

I'm with Saito on this. Life is too short to be taking a stand on stuff that doesn't directly affect me. If people want to be negative, let them. It only effects them and those who allow themselves to get sucked into the negativity.

If you go out of your way to "take a stand" on their negativity (or anything else outside of what effects you or your family directly) you're wasting energy you could be using to improve your own life.

I agree with Travlinguy!

i agree with zero tolerance for negativity, ive made it a conscious act to not involve myself with negative people, negative talk and negative energy...

ive even gone as far as no longer watching the news or listening to talk radio since 90% of it is negative and i really feel this just seeps into our subconscious and does nothing positive for us..im even monitoring my tv shows and movies (no more horror movies for me..what positive effect do they produce?!?!)

I don't really tolerate people who don't have a conscience. Who will do anything (lie, work the system, manipulate) to have their way.

It seems that 1% of the population are born without a conscience (we call them psychopaths) and there's nothing they can do about it. You see them very frequently in positions of power and the business environment is full of them.

But once I spot someone who is like that, I completely eliminate them from my life...

I have zero tolerance for a number of things, but for the purposes of this thread I will limit it to lies.

Lies are so unnecessary and ruin business and personal relationships. Part of what makes it so hard to be in good relationships, whether business or personal, is the impact liars have had on our society.

You have obviously never been asked "do these jeans make my butt look fat?" by an insecure woman.

If the truth is "no baby, it isn't the jeans; it's your fat that makes you look fat", then I would put my money on the truth ruining the relationship, and the lie ("are you kidding? you look smokin' hot!"), saving it.

this is like the most annoying question.. when you like a little chub on her bottom ..

as far as having no tolerance goes..that fine.. you chose who you deal with..but it really matter how negative someone is ..i am big into the reflective universe concept..so generally the negative conversations i hear or get into.. have a lot of stuff that goes on in me..

typically tolerance is a sign of an issue you have not other people ..i simply don't care if other people are negative ..as long as they don't expect me to join them or reinforce their negativity..

humanity currently is trained to be negative ..

one thing i refuse to tolerate for long or at all..is people who think i should change who i am to make them feel better ..or who refuse to work with how i am..and intentionally make it harder on me..

of course these people are usually called "family"

I really don't have a zero tolerance for anything, but you could call them a major annoyance. People who are a loudmouth know-it all and don't mind telling everyone who'll listen what they are doing wrong along with no your wrong I'm right.

I grew up around people like this and find it so hilarious when they find out how wrong they are and try to B.S. their way out of it. I learned along time ago to ignore this type of person and not let them bring me down.
