Being able to forgive insults is not just a great art and a quality of a strong person.

It turns out that the ability to forgive, as well as to ask for forgiveness, is a skill that qualitatively changes a person’s life.

Therefore, it is necessary to forgive not only out of politeness or recognition of one’s own shortcomings.

Why is this important?

A person who has failed to forgive the offender or who has not been asked for forgiveness will live with resentment inside.

Psychologists say that such an “ulcer” corrodes from within and causes serious harm to the psyche.

The worst thing is that hidden resentment has the potential to eventually burst out in the form of an emotional breakdown.

And also, resentment is a sign of selfishness. Such a person often breaks ties with society, begins to keep things from everyone, then to deceive, to mistrust.

As a result, resentment becomes the cause of the development of depression and other disorders.

If we look at this problem more closely, it turns out that the accumulation of grievances is akin to a disease, experts believe.

Touchy people expect others to want to humiliate them, be rude to them, or hurt them.

But the hour is not far off when the local doctor will suspect paranoia or other disorders.

Experts advise such people to get used to the idea that not all actions of others are aimed at causing suffering to others.

It is possible that a fair criticism or important remark went unnoticed because of the offense.
