50 Examples of Impatience

The impatience It is the nervous or accelerated attitude of a person who is unable to wait for something to happen or who does not give it enough time to develop naturally. For example: a woman who updates the website to see as soon as possible whether or not she passed a university exam.

Impatience usually generates moodiness, anguish, worry and anxiety, sensations that express the fervent desire that something happen immediately. Impatience can lead to pressure and catastrophic fantasies about a possible unfavorable outcome. For example: a patient waiting for lab results and, although they told him they will be ready on Wednesday, he calls the lab on Monday to see if they are available.
