Do you hold to things or do you typically let them go?

When something terrible happens or a person hurts your feelings do you hold onto the anger and resentment or are you the kind of person that finds it easier to walk away, take the good leaving the bad behind?

As a teenager, I was a very angry person, and I took anger management class to learn how to deal with my emotions. This was hugely useful, as I am ND!

Now when something terrible happens or a person hurts my feelings, I need time to process my emotions, but eventually, I find it easier to walk away, take the good and leave the bad behind. The one exception was for my Ex-wife. She abused me, so the damage was deeper. She also coincided with PTSD, so it took years of CBT, medication and Mindfulness to overcome her.

Men are better at letting go in most situations except family things. Cavemen had to put things behind quickly. They had to hunt with the same group the next day and killing game with primitive weapons is dangerous and men needed to rely on the group to be safe and so they had to let go of yesterday.

I don't straight up hold a grudge but I also don't forget either.

I let things go quick, doesn't mean they get me back tho, I just forgive and move on, no anger and on good terms

I let it go. Resentment is like poisoning oneself.

I take the good. Why dwell on the bad?
