How do you know when people have run out of patience with you?

Well, I am going to be honest here…it all depends on the situation…If its at a function its a bit more tricky your making eye contact and you can tell just by body language that someone is ready is take off by looking at their watch or looking for someone they know at that function/party/get together! After going few rounds back & forth in a discussion, you can tell when they are about done & have given up trying to reason with you…so they will either change the subject or say something like oh wow, look at the time, I have to be somewhere after this…or I just remembered I have to make this urgent call, catch up with ya later! If it’s over the phone or on a chat that is an easy one, you can always say hey my friend is over, I would love to continue this but my friend wants to leave so I have to go…that is an escape then you think its all great and they think, wow, that guy is something else(not in a good way)

Usually when someone has tried my patience I tend so keep it at small talk…use quick remarks such as: aha, ok, I see, hmm, ahh, and others of the sort followed by oh my god, I have to go, forgot to take my dog out…or hey someone’s calling me on the phone, be back later…or even better, hey a friend just dropped by so I gotta go…

Some free advice here: Instead of trying to tell if they are finally tired of listening to you, how about you try working on a different approach!? Do you seriously enjoy it when people dislike talking to you? Do you get some sort of pleasure by acting that way!? Those are very important questions you must ask yourself…Do I seriously like being hated by others!? If the answer is Yes, then why even care about how to tell signs if they have lost their patience with you or not?! If the answer is No, then clearly you need to work on having some tact & thinking before you comment on stuff which can be hurtful to others!

Obviously this matter is bothering you enough to get some advice from people on here, maybe it’s your inner conscience telling you that it’s time you change the way you answer people around you!

Good Luck to you, hope things change for the better!
