Do you forgive people easily?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Depends, not easily, but eventually, I'm not a spiteful person.  Forgiving is a good thing, holding a grudge isn't.

LiamJHayden · Accepted Answer

I forgive easily, but a betrayal does change the relationship.

ohsheeT · Answer

I mean it depends on what happened if they did something that was premeditated that kind of just really irks me and no I don't but I mean things happen in life and there's a lot of things in this world that people get upset about that I just let it go

But anything premeditated and they had a choice yeah I kind of let them know in my own way that I'm pissed even though I might not be

TrueConfection · Answer

Not as easily as I should. It depends on the offence. If their crime affects my kiddos, good luck to them because I won't let them have a second opportunity.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Forgiving is something that I do for myself, because going through life angry is uncomfortable and destructive. But I don't forget the wrongs that people do to me.

Simslover92 · Answer

I am a very forgiving person so yes. I don't like holding grudges.

emeraldsaphire · Answer

I do, I believe in second chances, I believe we all make mistakes and we can grow. I do think there is a limit though. Sometimes I don't think people deserve the second chance. If you give it to them they will only hurt you again. That doesn't mean they can't change in the future, but for now they best be avoided.

I think it all comes down to knowledge. Did they know what they did was wrong? Did they know how it would effect you? How did they react when you confronted them. If they hurt you with full knowledge and show no remorse, they shouldn't be forgiven. at leas for now.

ihateTaylorSwift · Answer

no I don't, I actually struggle
with that quite often
more than I should
or would like to

I don't know where this stubbornness comes from
where I turn bitter super fast
once I've gotten hurt

But it doesn't help
And becomes a problem
When somebody's tryna
Overlook the past and rekindle an old flame
of undying love

I used to dive in head first
and sink deep into my feelings but now my soul is hollow

And I hold grudges
Then push away
Rather than just forgive

PeachyPie93 · Answer

Depends what was done.. if it was just a fight I will be fine the next day but if it was a literal betrayal or something done to actually hurt me that will never be forgiven.. I tend to watch people who hurt me and then when it happens more than once I distance myself from them until they are no longer in my life.

Anonymous · Answer

Not really all that easily. There have been a few people in my past who caused me great problems and it is hard to overlook what they did. I sometimes think that if I were still in touch with those people, perhaps they would apologize given the chance? Even though I'll probably never come in contact with those people again, maybe looking back they would not have been that way if they had known better at the time.

Garud · Answer

I don't forgive so that I can forget and never have to endure this kind of bad treatment again.
It helps me defend myself better next time.
If I get a chance to take revenge and am in the mood to do so, I do so
