Do you hold a grudge?

[caseysmom]

Not generally but if someone screws me over I don't give them a second chance.

I once heard a saying like "Holding a grudge is like renting space in your heard to a tenant you don't like who's never gonna pay the bill!" I do not hold grudges, never had a cause to. Are there people I don't care if I never hear from again? Sure, but I don't think about them, or bear them any ill will.

Yeah.. I hold grudges against "some" people, but, otherwise, mostly I forgive and forget...well, I try my best to People who are I see a lot in my life, I usually don't hold grudges against them, but, people I don't get to meet much, it's easy holding grudges against them, but, I still try not to. People who I see a lot, they do some stuff that makes me feel like hating them, but, then, somewhere they do something that makes me happy and I forgive them. So, well, in conclusion, no I try not to hold grudges. I've kind of stopped holding grudges after I heard "Life's too short for holding grudges" (Thank You pomtzu for that! )

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.

Life is WAAAAAAY to short to hold grudges. I can forgive but I cannot forget.

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...

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

[kaycountrygal]

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 always give someone a second chance. But, I draw the line at a third.

My sister "went off" on me a few years ago and blamed me for practically everything except global warming. A few days later, I called her and she said that she needed to speak to me. She told me that someone had told her that she owed me an apology. I waited. She didn't say anything else so I guess that was my apology.

Two years ago, I took her out for her birthday. She went off on me again and this time threw my mother and brother under the bus. She deliberately tried to damage/sabotage my relationship with them. I'm done waiting for an explanation and/or apology. She is no longer a part of my life.

No, I really don't have that time or energy. I can get very upset with someone who does something really horrid but I tend to just let it out and blow off steam. I do let the person know my feelings and just get on with things. I never stay mad at anyone longer than a day...only one thing will make me stay mad and I usually just try to keep it out of my mind when all is said and done.

[Sowa]

Yes. I kinda have a big problem with it. I don't know why I just can't let stuff go.

I was in flyball YEARS ago. A guy hit my dog, and I got really upset and left right away. I e-mailed them later and they all said he didn't hit my dog, and I'm probably not cut out for flyball. I still get angry thinking about it. Lots more things as well. I really wish I could let it go, I waste so much energy thinking about things I can't do anything about.
