Do you forgive others easily? Or do you hold grudges?

Well, I'm a forgiving person sometimes depending on what happened, and what occured and all that. However, holding grudges is not in my nature - why? Why waste time holding a grudge on someone - when you can work things out? But, sometimes a friendship can never be reserved due to some reason or another(have you ever broken a friendship, and became friends again?)

I tend to not hold grudges. I'm always saying "that's ok." and probably 99% of the time it is. Especially with the one I love. When she says she's sorry, she really is. I must admit, sometimes when someone says their sorry, or do you mind and I say no I don't mind, I sort of do. And I never let them know. And every now and then, I'll remember that thing they did and I'll get angry or in a bad mood. I'm not sure if that's holding a grudge or not.
I do tend to hold onto friendships as long as they want to. Biut there is one I did end because he tended to disrespect me, even blame things on me that wasn't my fault and I got sick of it. I just stopped calling him and he never called me. And I'm still glad about that. But generally speaking, people know me as a very forgiving person.

Just forgive and forget, Our Lord Jesus said For if you forgive others their trespasses your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

I do hold grudges if someone hurt me seriously in a deliberate way, but if it is accidental, I let it go. I also make it a point to give forgiveness when someone shows genuine remorse for their past actions, but I am always careful to not let them get in a position to hurt me again in the same way.
