Yeah... you know the kind.

People who are bent and hold it in for just the right place to vent. Swinging the sword of hurtful words and bringing up deep-seated hatred that goes far beyond the situation at hand.

Yeah... you have to feel sorry for people like that. They probably sit around single with a bunch of dogs or cats complaining about everyone and anything from neighbors to people in general.

Do you know of someone like this and how do you cope?

I don't hold grudges, period. It's too time-consuming and generally exhausting.

My wife does this. If I had my way, we'd not be married anymore.

Yeah, I won't carry hate around with me; it doesn't feel good.

I might be upset with someone for a little while, but it usually gets to the point where it's just water under the bridge.

Holding grudges will eat you from the inside and destroy any potential to grow as a person. I have been hurt by people, but I consider myself lucky, because I'm the type of person who forgives and forgets everything.

What good is a grudge if you can't hold it for years and let the hate build up inside?

I don't forgive and I don't forget, but I still don't hold a grudge. I had a best friend that crossed me several years ago. We simply don't hang out or talk anymore. I'm not mad at what he did, but know to keep my distance from people like that. I'll still be cordial if we bump into each other though.

I think this is the healthy way to deal with this stuff. Someone either adds more to your life than they take away or they do not.
