What does it mean that I've started becoming extremely turned off by the resentment and bitterness I see in other people?

[FilmGuy93]

I used to see resentful people and be totally willing to look passed it. Now I see resentment/bitterness and just run for the hills.

That's just being healthy

I think you're being a bit judgy

You're scared by their resentment because you see it within yourself

I think there can be a wide variety of reasons you might be progressing in this direction. It might be bad, might be good, might be nothin' - that's kinda a call only you can make, in my opinion.

If you're avoiding them because you're afraid to confront/interact, that could be bad.

But if you recognize it's just not worth the energy to engage and they're not anyone important to you, that's good.

Personally, I likewise tend not to bother with resentful/bitter people if they're not family or friends who have other sides of themselves I enjoy or care about. An occasional fit in response to their lives is understandable, but if it's default mode... Oof. Nope.

Resentment and bitterness are, in my opinion, something that happens when someone leaves things too long. If they resent you, why haven't they spoken up? We're not mind readers. We can't know what we're not told. We can't fix a problem if we don't know it's a problem.

Yeah! I know what you mean. It's like there is a limit or threshhold to the exact amount of bitterness/resentment you can see in someone before it becomes a distinct red flag.

The crap of the world is starting to drip upon you. Remove yourself from the environment or people where you notice it happening the most !!
