    No, I don't. The grudge holder is usually the one who suffers the most. I try not to be a glutton for punishment. That's not to say that I let people back into my life if they are a constant negative force. Again, not a glutton for punishment. I forgive people but don't always allow them to be a part of me anymore.

    I unfortunately remember alot of what people say if it hurt me that much. I guess I wouldn't say I hold grudges, but I do everything in my power to try and avoid people who have hurt me in the past and so far I've been rather successful.

    No, I do not. I'm the type of person who can get extremely angry and get into an arguement & five minutes later think "hey, this is dumb." then wind up apologizing even if I'm not the one at fault. That's probably just as bad as holding a grudge...

    RIP Sally

    I agree with many others, holding a grudge is a waste of energy. Most of the time, the only person you're hurting is yourself.

    I certainly try not to. But I don't always succeed.

    I don't hold grudges. I get mad, blow up, then it's over.

    It depends on what happened. I dont hold a grudge for a long time UNLESS someone has really hurt me. Then I just make it my business to not see that person again... is that a grudge? Dont know but it works for me LOL.

    For silly things I usually vent my anger and then I'm ok.

    Holding a grudge is like renting space in your head to your ex-husband.

    I've been on FB too much. I started to look for a "Like" button for this post. I've never been married, but I get the reference.

    I get mad, blow up, hold a grudge for a while. I try not to, though. It's hard a lot of times.
