Carrying resentment doesn't actually punish the person who wronged you—nor is it helping you. This article provides expert tips on how to realistically put it behind you in a way that doesn't minimize your pain or their actions.
When the person who wronged you doesn’t seem to face any consequences, holding a grudge can feel like the only way to restore some sort of justice. Sure, they may be completely oblivious to the unresolved tension and bitterness brewing deep inside you, but still: There’s something oddly satisfying about ensuring they haven’t gotten off scot-free .
Or, depending on your situation, have an honest conversation. This isn’t always possible or ideal, but it’s an option worth considering with people you want to maintain a relationship with—like a family member you believe has good intentions or an ex-friend you outgrew but still care about. Sometimes, people aren’t aware of the impact their actions had on you, Bayramyan points out, which is why in some cases, letting them know can provide 'closure” to end your grudge.
