Do bad experiences tend to make people better, or bitter?

[Anonymous]

Or does it depend on each person as an individual?

I'd say it depends on the individual and what they make of it. I know people who became bitter as a result of bad experiences, but I also know people who became better because of them. They didn't let bad experiences change them in a negative way; instead, they became stronger, learned from it and evolved as a person, and honestly, I believe that's how you deal with life and problems healthily.

Depends on a person.

We all get hurt, in one way or another,

the point is to take it as a part of the life and hope for the better things while bettering yourself.

So, I think becoming better or bitter is a choice and of course, there’s no gain becoming the bitter one.

Definitely bitter. There were plenty of ethnic groups I didn't used to hate, but now I do

Some experiences make you better. Too many can make you bitter.

It depends on the person
It's just like success you cannot have success without failure

For every bad experience you have if you do not learn from it you do not gain anything you have to experience it again

No matter what happens to us in life that is bad or we consider bad there is always a silver lining there's always something positive and good that comes from it if you grow with it if you don't it's a vicious cycle that keeps coming around and around and around until you learn

If you understand life you know that we are supposed to experience everything and learn from it and grow with it that's what makes us become one with ourselves one with others and one with this universe and that is our goal in life

It's a choice. Viktor Frankl came out of Auschwitz able to forgive the Nazis who'd tried to exterminate his entire family. I challenge anyone to find a worse experience. His conclusion that he could choose how to react to the situation gave him more freedom than the men killing his family and friends.

It's all about how you choose to look at life.

Bitter, if they let it get to them and can't let it go.
