How do you deal with resentfulness when somebody hurt you?

I work it out physically because it helps me work it out in my mind at the same time. I'll wash and wax the car, clean out the cabinets, the closets, polish the silverware, ride a bike, a brisk walk, aerobics, work out wtih dumbbells (a great one, esp. leg presses), play baseball, racquetball, tennis or bowling - something that makes a noise and gives me a chance to swat or hit! LOL

First human reaction keep my distance I am hurt I need time for myself that poor heart. I will give them time calm after the storm.
It takes time and sometimes the individual will apologise but life is tough if they are not close try to forget about them.

I know that I must have been at the wrong place at the wrong time but usually it takes two to get hurt. I usually confess my own mistakes so that I don't go around justifying all of my own mistakes maybe I have rubbed them or their friends the wrong way. I try my best to see why they would do that to me and knowing that nobody is perfect I try to forgive and forget. So confess, forgive, and forget! Without forgetting the lessons and also if they really screwed me up I would remove them from my life completely I would avoid them and forgive them as soon as I could. I do not want to add fuel to the fire so I completely stop everything that has to do with them. I vent I go through the motions but time heals all wounds if you are forgiving.

I know with me, there can be miscommunication which in my past relationship, led to doubts and mistrust issues. Knowing that you've given all you can is key. Work on improving yourself.

Resentfulness happens when we don't express our hurt and simply say, "I am hurt, and this is why". Some people expect others to be mind readers and guess that they are hurt, but that's just childish. So I now say out loud, "I am hurt" and I don't resent as much.
