Are you easy to forgive people?

When somebody makes you mad, do you keep the anger for a long time? Or do you take it easy?

It depends what there is to forgive. Somethings, I just can't forgive, while other things, I have a fairly easy time forgiving whatever there is to forgive. I think that it also depends on the person in question, as well. Some people I have an easier time forgiving than others.

Yes, I think that that too comes into the equation.

Well, one thing...I can easily forgive, but I don't forget that instantly.

Not usually right after the angry moment, maybe after a short while.

Hello mermaidivy, When it happens, I always say that I won't forgive that person forever but it is only words. I will just forget about the anger after a day or two. I can forgive others quite easily but it depends on what mistake they did to me. As for my family and close friends, I always give them few chances to get back my trust.

I don't get angry quickly. Even in fights I usually try to view things from the others perspective as well and I'm not someone who gets in a rage or something. When I do get mad however that is because someone crossed a certain line and I can stay mad for quite some time, depending on how important the person is to me as well.

It takes a lot, a very lot, before someone makes me mad and if that ever happens I don't get cross. The other person usually starts raising their voice and I stay calm. They raise it louder and I still stay calm and in the end they get mad because I am NOT getting mad. Then they huff off and Ihave a laugh and remember the incident forever. I will forgive if they apologise or regret the mistake but I don't forget. I have not had many arguments

I forgive pretty fast. Faster than most people. I just don't see the point in holding a grudge. What good does it do? If there's a lesson to be taught, then teach it, but holding something against someone as a weapon to use against them is just as wrong as whatever it was they did to you. Treat people how you want to be treated. If you don't forgive someone for a mistake that they made, then someone will not forgive you for a mistake that you made. And also people say "i can forgive, but i don't forget." If you haven't forgotten; you always bring it up; its used against that person, then you haven't forgiven at all. If you forgive someone then you forget too. It doesn't exist anymore, and you can no longer use it against them. Tomorrow is a new day. Move on.

I think I can easily forgive if the person I am mad at understands why I am mad at him. He does not have to be sorry, unless he did something really terrible. If he persists in talking to me or keeping in touch, then I do not think I would have the heart to ignore him. I also do not want to keep anger in my heart. Have a nice day!

that's easy to forgive people that did not intend to hurt you.If one man hurt me very deeply,I think It would be a long time to recover my feeling.I don't know if I take it easy.

I am kind of quick to anger, but depending on the person I usually let it go really quick. Like my boyfriend which is probably not a good thing but I can't help it. And I can't stay mad at my sister, she is too sweet. :) So depends on the person.
