Are you a forgiving person? If some one does you wrong (knowingly). Can you forgive them if they do everything they can to prove they are sorry? Or do you hold grudges?

I begrudge many but apologies help significantly. We may never be cool but I would no longer wish their demise.

I might be the ultimate forgiving person!! I recommended a friend? for a job at the company where I worked. Then I recommended her for a job in my department, which was a step up for her; including more hours and pay raise. She tried to get me fired - TWICE! But, when I was leaving the company, they asked who I recommended for my replacement and you guessed it! I not only recommended her, I trained her as my replacement. Why, because I felt she was the best person for the job. And is if that wasn't enough, we are 'friends' on facebook. Am I a forgiving compassionate person, or just a big sucker?

I as a rule let one slide, I'll let a friend get one by me, but just once and then it's over

Lucky for many people, I have a terrible time with memory. Even so, I do sometimes remember specific people were rude or downright hateful to me. Apologies go a LONG way with me. Without an apology, I still might come around eventually and make my presence known just to see if you're able to bury the hatchet. If you're not, then that's it. I am done with you. I don't hold grudges. People who do hold grudges aren't my kind of folks. +5

If you are a christian, the bible clearly states forgiveness is one of the best things you can do. Forgive everyone, I know it is hard. Excpecially if it is a relationship with a freind I would not hold a grudge. You don't have to like them. To forgive is to simply not hate one.

i forgive people very easily. i have a lot of compassion in me & will forgive just about everything. i don't so much hold grudges as i do make it known that i nurse a sore spot for whatever wrongs have been done. i may forgive but that doesn't take away the hurt of some things.

To harbor a resentment is like taking poison hopeing the other person dies, space in my head is at a premium I don't let anyone rent space there. so even if they don't make an amend to me I still forgive and forget.But I am not a door mat either. To error is human to forgive is divine

I think I am pretty forgiving under most circumstances. Some things are not easy to let go of though. Especially when an apology is not given. And then there is the situation of forgive but can not forget. So I don’t hold grudges really but I may not forget when someone does me wrong either which I think is probably the best thing because then you do not leave yourself open to be hurt by them again.
-
I forgive them to some degree but I never forget. and would never trust them
-
I don't hold Grudges. I process the hurt. I forgive and move on. My problem is that I think I do this too quickly and ended up being treated like a doormat. The big question for me is: When is granting forgiveness wrong?

Plotting revenge is one of my favorite hobbies. +3

Whether I forgive or not depends on the wrong done to me. I don't hold grudges. I hold one promise that is not so pleasant, even that is not a grudge though. Sometimes it is best to let it be and walk away. +5
