Thats something I tend to really struggle with. I have a problem with wanting revenge, or wanting to be made whole so to speak.

partially because I have such a strong memory I cant just forget things happened.

How old are you?

I ask because I'm old. After time, after some personal losses and some humbling, I learned to just let shit go.

Resentment is like drinking poison and hoping that the other guy dies.

I just treat everyone pretty much the same so it doesn't matter what they've done in the past.

I struggle with that as well. Revenge is a siren song, but ultimately it feels better to let go of those feelings instead of reveling in your worst emotions.

It's also important to remember that forgiveness doesn't necessarily require forgetting. You can forgive someone, while still learning from what they did.

I usually dont. I can just think of 1 instance where someone was forgiven. It was mutual. Otherwise I never forgive.

If people are willing to change, I am cool with it. Being a trans person, it's the least I can do. If I don't let people change, people will never accept us. So I welcome it with arms wide open. I just think with political climate these days, it's very unlikely for some kinds of people to ever actually change anymore. That ship has sailed.

I'd say forgiveness shouldn't be off the table and do agree with second chances, but not every situation requires it.

After all, denying forgiveness at most means you just cut one out of your life, but without constantly having hateful thoughts about them and the like.

Additionally while I do again think forgiveness can be good on a case by case basis, the person who does wrong shouldn't change for the sake of forgiveness.

I do think a person who renounces say bigotry may or may not merit a second chance. But if one hints to or outright state that they changed for the sake of being forgiven? Yeah I wouldn't blame anyone for being skeptical.

I'm not even sure what "forgiveness" entails anymore.

There are people who broke my trust pretty severely. Does forgiveness mean I have to trust them again? Do I have to like them again? Or is "not desiring retaliation" sufficient enough to constitute forgiveness?

Yea that sounds like it's up to you.

I think it's about just letting that negativity go.

Reward:effort consideration, same as anything else. But clearly your sense of this is off-balance, so get therapy.
