HOW TO TOLERATE OTHERS

If you want friends, want to keep your friendships and relationships, wanna be more likable and fun to be around; it's a case of being tolerant. Here are five easy steps to guide you in becoming a more tolerant person. 

HOW TO TOLERATE PEOPLE

1. Think about why you have been judgmental towards people in the past: Had you been taught that you were superior to certain people? Or have you have negative experiences? Diagnose why you have been so quick to judge people around you.

2. Think of those around you as PEOPLE; They are human beings just like you and I. They also want to be loved and accepted for who they are. Everyone should be allowed to be who they are without being harassed for it. This brings us to our next point.

3.  Realize they are lots of intolerant people in this world: Plenty to be prejudiced toward that group, and to hate them or fear them. If these people you are judging are homosexual, of a certain race or religion, or something else entirely, they already have an enormous amount of people who despise them already and remind them every day of the fact that they are different. That would make you an unnecessary addition.

4. Be a part of the solution: Be the one to truly love people for who they are. Make people comfortable around you, and allow them to be themselves with you. You will gain a lot of friends, and gain respect from the friends you already have.

5. Stand up for others! Don't allow people to be negatively treated around you, don't allow negative joking about the personality they have or the groups they belong to. Encourage your new found tolerance with everyone around you.
