Are you the forgive and forget type of person?

I find it hard to forgive especially if I've been hurt very bad. Much more forget. But I can say I can forgive but never forget.

It is interesting that you bring this up. My partner and I were talking about this just the other day. :) I am NOT a forgive and forget type of person. I am a person that will forgive...but will not forget because shame on me if I should let that happen again! But at the same time...I am also not a forgive person all the time either. If it is a serious wrong doing...I do not forgive, but rather I accept. I accept that person was wrong and I accept that person will receive what is coming to him or her for the wrong doing. That is...I believe in karma. And no, I would not inflict that karma onto the person...because that would not be karma but rather revenge. I am not a vengeful person. But I will accept that one day, that person will get what he or she deserves. So, in some ways, I am a forgive and accept type of person...but NOT forget. :)

In most cases I forgive and forget, but there are some people I do not choose to forgive. I do not have to fight with them but I do not want to be their friends anymore, for the wrongs they have done to me. Some I have even forgotten about, and only remember if any person bring it up, like do you remember 10 years ago when Jay said this... etc, the are meaningless to me. I wish them the best of luck and I have moved on and I hope they have too.

I am the same way I have a hard time forgetting also. Some things are hard to forget.

i'd like to say the same thing about myself but i can't. honestly, i forgive easily, but it's hard for me to forget. i never actually tried to get even. i just have a very good memory, that's all. if i really want to forget, i can do that too... but that's not only deleting the memory of the incident, i'll be deleting the person in my memory too. i realized that the only way to forgive and forget is to forget everything about that person. because i associate the people with certain events. if i want to forget something in my past, very likely i'd forget the person too. i think what i have is selective memory, part of my defense mechanism to avoid the hurts in the past. :)

I'm with you, I can and do forgive after some time, but I never forget.

I really can say that I do forgive and forget.Its there somewhere in the back of my head, but I really dont let it get in the way of relationships with certain people that I have forgave.

I can forgive, because me forgiving helps me move on, I'm not stuck in the momment. It's not healthy to harbor bad feelings. On the flip side of that, I don't always forget. That's a matter of what has happend.

me forgive? yes! me forget? depends! to forgive and forget really boils down to the extreme of the matter. I am more of an easy going type of person and can forgive and forget easily.

Little things I can forgive and forget as long as it doesn't happen again. Once something is repeated however, I remember again pretty quickly!

If its a family member that does something and i need to forgive and forget then i would because they are family at the end of the day. If its a friend who needs me to forgive and forget then it depends on what they have and how serious it is whether i forgive and forget them. If its a work colleague who has done something and they need me to forgive and forget then i wouldn't. I would make sure i got back at them no matter how big or small the problem was.

I think that in some occasions i'm a forgive and forget person, and then on some I can't ever let it go. I guess you'd say that it just depends on what you did, and how bad you hurt me. I'm uncertain on weather or not i could forgive someone for killing my child, but i could forgive them for taking his toys. It is really a choice of opinion, on what you would do.

It depends on the situration. There are some things I can forgive and forget but some things that I can only forgive and not forget. And of course there are the things that I can't forgive!

i think im not, i think i hold grudges to people i hate and i know its not good but once a person does something bad to me i don't easily forget it nor forgive him/her...
