When you're mad at someone special, do you tell him or do you just hide it?

If you're mad at a relative or good friend or a special someone, or you hold a grudge against him/her, do you go straight to him and tell what you feel or do you just hide it and pretend that everything's alright?
A few weeks ago, i had a fight with one of my really good friends and he said something that really hurt my feelings. THough we have patched things up and are back to normal already, i cant help but feel really bad about what he said to me.I always feel bad and seems like there's a heavy feeling settling in my heart which makes me really uncomfortable especially when im with him. Recently, i have opened up and talked to him about it and since then, my heart feels lighter already and i feel happi

Yes I do. Specially with my husband. It would be really uncomfortable pretending you're fine when you're really not. I would be sad if I keep things to myself, and it's not gonna help at all. It's good to keep the communication open between you and your love ones.

If I'm really upset with someone close to me, I like to sit down and talk with them about it to let them know how I feel. It always makes me feel much better afterward too, and I think it can help to make things less awkward. Sometimes people can hurt our feelings on accident and not even realize they're doing it, so I think it's best to let them know so that they can try not to do it again in the future.

When Im mad at someone,I just blast them if they are my friends or someone whom I dont know.But when Im mad at someone whom I respect like my professors or parents,I keep quiet and will shout at them when Im back in my room especially these professors.

I think if the thing won't affact me very much, I will tolerent as maybe he/she has his/her own troubles. But if it is beyond your tolerence and I feel very upset about the thing, the best way is to open up yourself and tell him/her what your feeling is seeing how to solve the problem otherwise the grudge may creep in your heart, which may affact your relationship.

Of course, if someone, a specially a near dear friend tell you something that hurts you. You must talk about it. Thats something important. As you say you could not forgett it and you felt bad about even if you made things up without talking about it. If he´s your friend as you say he is, he will understand that you need to talk about it. You should not let sun goes down in anger.
