It often happens that our relationships with certain people end in resentment.

Resentment, in turn, always has a destructive effect on a person, poisoning his mood and often even interfering with the performance of his usual daily activities.

Getting rid of such destructive feelings can be difficult.

How to drive away resentment? It is necessary to remember three important aspects that will definitely help you to let go of unpleasant emotions.

Forget about revenge

Even if a person has seriously injured you, refrain from the thought of taking revenge on him.

This will only continue your relationship, but this time it will become painful. Remember: the best way to get revenge on someone is to ignore them.

Drive away bad memories

Do you always return in your thoughts to the conflict that occurred? This is a deliberately losing tactic.

Distract yourself with work or an interesting hobby, or better yet, find another interesting conversationalist who won't let you get bored.

Consider the offender's personal problems

It's possible that the person who hurt you is suffering from their own problems.

If so, don't feel sorry for him under any circumstances. Use this knowledge to realize that the reason for the disagreement that occurred is not in you.
