Tolerance to other people's views, actions, lifestyle is a quality that is not given from birth. If it is not laid down by family education from early childhood, you, and the people around you, will have a hard time. However, you can develop tolerance on your own, this requires a high level of self-control and the ability to find harmony in your own soul.

Step 1
It is important to find out the reasons for your own intolerance. In an effort to criticize and condemn, people are often driven by the idea of their own way of thinking and acting as the only correct and possible one. Some raise the bar and refuse to accept anything that does not meet their high standards. Feelings of superiority also make it difficult to accept others for who they are. Try to understand yourself and understand what exactly prevents you from coming to terms with the existence of views different from yours.
Step 2
Take a closer look at the people around you, try to figure out the motives of their actions. Perhaps they will become clearer and closer to you after you take the life situation of each person for yourself. The ability to empathize and empathize will help you with this. Be more indulgent towards others - it is unlikely that other people's words and deeds have a serious impact on your life, and therefore it makes no sense to spend emotional resources on them. Even the most unpleasant actions are not always intended to harm you, and many things can be treated with a certain amount of humor.
Step 3
The main components of tolerance are the ability to accept and forgive, restraint, flexibility of behavior. Be kind to others, look for something good in those who irritate and reject you. Remember how easy it is to offend or repel forever with just one word, even when others forget about it. Learn to restrain your own emotional reactions, express your opinion as correctly as possible.
Step 4
Take it for granted that the world is much more complex and wider than you think, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This does not oblige you to support someone else's point of view, even out of politeness, but respecting it is the duty of any civilized person. Think of other people primarily as peers, with the same rights as you.
