I'm much more patient with other people. The primary thing I feel like meditation has given me is space. Space between my thoughts and feelings and my vision of what's really happening. This space gives me time to be more deliberate and careful when speaking, and as a result I'm much less prone to shouting in anger or other things I feel I used to do pretty regularly.
