Very forgiving of people

Post Reply New Topic

Lots of things and human habits annoy me. I can't think of anyone I really dislike, though - apart from celebrities, but that's not real dislike, that's annoyance.

People can be downright rude and disrespectful to me, as they they can be to anyone. It's happened very recently and people are surprised I've taken it so well. I find it difficult to actually dislike people for anything. Annoyance comes very easily, dislike doesn't. I met some violent racists once; I disliked them. I dislike someone who was very abusive in their relationship. Other than that, no.

Is anyone else like this?

I hate a ridiculous amount of people. So no I'm not like that....though I have forgiven too many people too many times.

I'm mostly the same way. I separate people from their actions a lot -- I'll be really angry about things people do, but I don't hold onto the anger because the actions are not the person. I get angry really quickly if someone is doing something to someone ELSE, but I'm quick to forget it or forgive or... whatever you'd call it, it just goes out of my mind.

Hatred takes too much energy. I can count on one hand the people against whom I have had such a visceral thing as hatred. One is a vile sexual predator. The other is just vile.

It depends on the crime that the other party committed. I've been having a really hard time forgiving someone in my family, since the last week of this past June. I know thatI will be able to forgive that person, one day.

Took me about 30 years to get over reactions to some people. Generally, though I will move away before I blame.

Nope, I'm not that forgiving actually. And I dislike quite a few people I've met.

In a developmental sense only, yes.

Prior to age 13 or 14, I was pretty judgmental and critical, very unforgiving of others. I would hold grudges. This is very likely due to my background with my family, however.

After those ages, I've had changes in philosophy, changes in myself; some good, some bad. But one of the better ones, is my forgiveness and kindness that I have more of now. I am really forgiving.

abit. there's very few people who i actually hate, if any. sometimes i hate the things people do and dislike some of their traits... but i dont think anyones that bad that you can completely hate everything about them.:/ i never understand how folk can dislike so many people. i think maybe im quite good at seeing the good in people or something, i dunno

I find myself forgiving people when they are nice to me again. Same as when they apologize.

I don't find myself mad at people forever like my ex's or at my husband. I often think I will never trust someone again but then I find out I would probably end up giving them another chance if they decided to be my friend.

The longest time I can think of was four days of not talking to my mother because she upset me and it happened this year. I probably would have gone longer if she never apologized. It was just one bad week for me and she made it worse again by saying one word to me I have a negative reaction to so I didn't speak to her again.

I know I am not as forgiving as I was as a child because I am older and I know how many chances can you keep giving people? If someone kept treating me like dirt, am I going to keep forgiving them and stay with them or keep on talking to them online? That's what I did with kids at my school and to my friends. I was too forgiving and they always hurt me again and again and I never dumped them. Now today I draw the line and go "enough" and block them. If it were in real life, I wouldn't even bother with them.

I have a low tolerance for people and especially those who are bullies and those who take advantage of other people. But I save my true disdain for those who are hypocrites.

Yes, I dislike very few people because I can usually see most people in a way that makes them likable. And you're right, it's an energy thing. Why should I bother putting all that effort into making my own mind dark and clouded? I read once, something to the effect of hating is like taking poison and waiting for someone else to die.

I can't be bothered.

It's like this curmudgeonly neighbor I have. We could feud and I could harbor ill will toward him, but I don't want that filth in my house or in my mind. He's made enough for the two of us. He can keep it. He clearly carries it around, why should I?
