Do you hold grudges?

I used to hold grudges with little kids that everyone in my family used to pay more attention to. I felt like I wanted to say something bad to them I couldn't because their parents and other grown ups where there sitting next to us. Now I say thank god I couldn't say anything to them because if I did, now I would be full of regrets. I still hold my grudges but that's if someone does something bad to me that I know I can't do nothing about it and seeing from that other person, he/she does it to take advantage of me knowing I can't do anything to him/her.

I try not to be the kind of person that holds a grudge against somebody else. Life is too short and too precious to waste on such bitterness. I would like to be the kind of person that can resolve an issue and move forward with life.

Honestly, I do hold grudges in my heart towards my old friends. How I wish that I can no longer feel this anger in my heart. I do understand that it is wrong to hold hatred in our hearts and I'm struggling so hard to have this issue resolved. I'm still praying to God to help me forgive those people who have hurt me and for them to forgive me as well. How I wish I could forget all the hurts I have and live a happy and peaceful life.

who will not hold a grudge against people who plan evil against one? there are people just exactly like this, that because of envy, they will spread rumors, or character assassinate people. but then again, holding a grudge is counterproductive, and make one evil, too. i have to admit, i feel ill feelings towards these people but i pray for guidance, and that i can be able to forgive. i won't have to be affected and not move on with my life.

Sometimes, unfortunately, I do... Even if they are over minute things... but I've noticed that I hold the worst and longest grudges against my mother and against men I've dated that don't have the balls to end a relationship in a proper and dignified manner.

There were times in my life when I felt grudges against persons who left me,but that's all in the past now,as I realized that instead of wasting my energy on holding grudges I could use it in other ways,concentrating on what I have to do in the present and close future,so I don't hold grudges any more and even if there are moments when I feel offended by some people,I manage to get over my grudges and move on by simply not thinking about them anymore.Just like you,my resentments are gone in a few days and I manage to let it all go and focus on what I want to do.

Oh yes grudges, I go an all girl's school and the girls really know how to hold a grudge. Two very good friends actually fought about something and they both held a grudge for a very long time. It went for like a year! and I was stuck in between until I was so ed up with it and told them to just apologize to each other. I guess after a year, the grudges kinda grew old and they became friends again like nothing happened. I don't like holding grudges, if I did hold one, it'll probably last like a few days, not a year like my friends It's really unhealthy to hold grudges against someone, always talk and try and rebuild that trust. The longer the grudge, the more damages it does to your relationships.

Grudges are unhealthy to a person and to any relationship. Everyone may have tried getting angry to someone for once in their life. Whenever I get angry with someone, it usually lasts for hours or if not, a day. It's bad to hold a grudge. Yeah you're right. The best thing to do is to pray and lift everything up to God.
