How to get over a grudge
One of my friends had hurt my feelings. It had happened a few months before, and though I knew I should have let go of what she’d said, I was struggling so much to get over it. Now I was on a trip with a group of my friends, and she was there.
I didn’t want to hold on to a grudge, but every little thing she did seemed to annoy me so much. And the more things she did, the stronger the grudge became. It got to a point where I started sitting out on some of the activities just because she was participating.
A few days in, I realized that she was also not feeling very happy toward me. The tension between us was ruining the whole trip.
