How To Put A Stop To Toxic Resentment



Resentment is the most toxic of all emotions in any relationship. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

As hurt and resentment accumulate in a relationship—it becomes harder, and harder, to empathize with the other persons perspective. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Here’s how it works: resentment, anger, and fear are all connected. We become trapped in a self-obsessed cycle of being afraid of the future, angry in the present, and filled with resentment over our past. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

The antidote to fear is faith, the remedy for anger is love, and the solution to resentment is acceptance.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Be honest with yourself. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣If you’re still picturing slapping your bestie in the face every time they talk; or constantly complaining to your friends about how big of a pain in the ass your wife is; it’s time to check yourself. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

If you allow yourself to become angry or resentful whenever situations don’t go the way you prefer, then you are effectively giving control of your feelings to others.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Resentment is the re-experiencing of past injustices—real or perceived—and the old feelings of anger connected to them. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣


Meaning resent is often built on a foundation of distorted beliefs that other humans should or must act in the way that you want them to.
