I am good at ignoring people who hurts me and betrays me, because holding a grudge is not healty and will affect my mood for the coming days. so why not just let it go and think they dont deserve my attention and my love at all. and please never come to me for forgiveness.

I think if a person holds a grudge for a long time, it reveals from psychological perspective that he’s a very unhappy man who can’t let it go and forgive and forget. He is more willing to wallow in the boicotting ’ blissfulness’ being as a victim rather than take a step to reconciliation. Well, from the other perspective of how big the betrayal or offence was, the relationship will never be the same turning into a formal, cold demeaner which is sometimes unfortunately is the best way to go to avoid further unpleasant moments. All in all, holding a grudge is a dark side of the character making the bearier of that heavy burden suffer in the first place…
