Holding Grudges

[Nebulous]

Are you the type of person who holds a grudge or do you tend to forgive and forget?

It depends on the person. If it's a friend or family member, I always forgive and forget. If it's a person I just met, I'll hold a grudge.

I'll admit I can hold a grudge I suppose, however I forgive over time 🙂 A simple "sorry" never cuts it with me.

It depends for me on why, most of the time I say my piece and that is it but I have know to hold a grudge, like a family person I have not spoke to in 7 years and have no plans on changing that anytime soon

When I'm wrongly accused or forced in a defensive position, I tend to hold a grudge/vendetta on that person, but eventually I choose to forgive, although never forget.

 

[Nuke]

I usually just forget it but I never forgive XD

I suck at forgiving and forgetting and I'm very aware it's a negative trait.
But, I can hold a grudge for years on end.

I need to fix this about me. 🙁

I dont really hold a grudge, but there is a little feeling inside when I am reminded of the person.

It depends on the person for me. If I already didn't like a person for doing other bad things in the past, then I don't bother to let go of grudges. However, if it's someone I like, then I can easily let go of whatever is bothering me.

It really depends on the person. if it's a good friend or family member, I'll let it go after a day or two usually, but if it's someone who isn't that great a friend I'll hold a grudge I guess.

I'm way too soft, I forgive and forget very easily....but I do have to say my piece first, I'd much rather "clear the air" than to create atmosphere and bite my tongue. I've often got along great with people who I've had a major blow out with.....just ask Jonathan :lol:

It was nothing too major, just be getting a little hot tempered. 😛 not exactly a rarity even now.

As for holding grudges, I tend to forgive but not forget. I will let things slide and perhaps block people on MSN/ ignore them IRL for a while then come back for a while. If they do something else though, it's kind of like a second chance thing. If they do something else stupid I'll bring it back up again whether that annoys them or not.

So yeah, to a degree I do hold grudges but I understand people make mistakes as I do, if someone makes a mistake twice though I tend to just say "piss off"

 

[PlayOn]

I usually forgive and forget.

It all depends with me. If it's something petty, I'll forgive and forget, but I have been known to hold some grudges.

 

[InfiniteJest]

I generally don't hold grudges, but I do carry a couple.

 

[AnAccount]

It depends on the person and the situation in question. I'm usually a forgive and forget kind of person.

 

[ItsZippy]

I rarely ever hold a grudge - it's much better to forgive. Having said that, no-one's even really, really hurt me, so I don't know what I'd do if I was really hurt by someone.

I like to forgive and forget, but that is often easier said than done. I am much better than I used to be about holding grudges, but it still happens from time to time.
