Why do some people have no compassion in their heart to forgive someone?

[mrshooiser]

[jahaims]

They didn't receive compassion etc

[Anonymous]

Because they lack empathy.

As a relationship coach, I aim to help you understand the complexities of human emotions. Some folks might struggle with forgiveness because they've been burned before or find it hard to let go of past pain. It's like they're guarding their hearts from another round of emotional ghosting! Everyone heals at their own pace, and sometimes holding grudges is their way of protecting themselves. Letting go takes time and understanding. 😌❤️ Just remember, compassion starts from within, and forgiving doesn't mean forgetting; it's freeing yourself from carrying that emotional luggage! 🚀💕

Part of it has to do with how badly they were hurt by the person. Also, some people don’t even have remorse so it’s hard to want to give them another chance or excuse what they did.

Though I know forgiveness is the right thing to do, that is an area that I very much struggle with.

[Nikki1989]

People might feel that by forgiving, they are letting the person who wronged them “off the hook” or pretending the pain never happened. In reality, forgiveness is not about the other person; it's about a choice to release yourself from the burden of resentment. Sadly some people are just such miserable people who don't have that strength within them.

Why do some people assume they are owed forgiveness for hurting someone?

Some things are simply unforgiveable, and nobody is under any obligation to absolve you of the consequences of your actions.

I have not forgiven someone because she knew me as a person, she knew me well, she knew that was she was doing was wrong, would hurt me, and despite all that, she did it anyway. Why would I forgive that behavior? Knowing full well that it'll happen again? Because it was a repeat offender?

Any job on this earth will teach a person first hand that human beings come in all shapes sizes and above different attitudes - not everyone is happy to see you / us

Can be a tough crowd some days, an easy breeze other days - them's wison words 🥳

[EmmaMary]

That greatly depends on what you're forgiving them for.

@EmmaMary proceeds to scowl expression 👀😋😅😅😅 me sweats

Did the person who screwed them over have compassion for them? No? Then they don't have to forgive either if they're not comfortable doing so... and that doesn't make them a bad person

[cora1]

Why do some people lack empathy (and compassion) for others that are hurt and want to force forgiveness just because they don’t want to deal with the consequences? Entitled much?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Forgiveness isn’t making everything the way it was, sometimes forgiveness means “I’m not going to hold onto this but I’m not going to have you in my life anymore either.”

[CorneliaUSA]

It depends on how badly you get hurt by that someone. Some things are easier to forgive than others.

[MannMitAntworten]

I suppose it depends what they are hoping to receive compassion for. I mean, intentionally doing malice towards someone and asking for forgiveness and compassion after doing so …. Yeah, kick rocks.

[Tracy2025]

If someone feels deeply hurt or betrayed, holding on to anger can feel like self-protection. It’s not always about lacking kindness; sometimes it’s about still healing.

[abc3643]

Because some actions are not forgiveable.
Like those of 9/11 terrorists.

[dudeinohio]

Sometimes there are things that you can forgive and Sometimes there are things that cannot be forgiven.

I am a forgiving person but a couple things have happened to me that I can't forgive.

[RavVid]

I feel no reason to do so. Minor things perhaps but not major transgressions.

[genericname85]

put yourself in their position. what benefit do they have from forgiving that particular someone you're thinking about?

[exitseven]

After you get screwed over enough times you do not believe in compassion anymore

[Jennz6]

For what exactly are we supposed to forgive?

[WonderingManII]

I think that comes from knowing God. Most people don't know God.

[Nikki1989]

LMAO!

[In_Trance]

It's not lack of compassion
It's that they have standards in place

[dragoblack]

Because the other person makes no effort to rectify in anyway

[DCVsMarvel2]

Depends on what they're being forgiven for

I never forgive killers

[Cormac995]

Some people don't deserve forgivness.

[FreyaRed]

compassion in meaning mercy or pity?

[Agape93]

Because they don't deserve my forgiveness.

[WhitneySnow]

I’m not sure. But that’s not me.

[Shiprex]

Some people don't deserve it

[SotiCoto]

No need for it.

[HeartShapedHaze]

The way they were raised probably

[dustybiker2]

Past hurt.
