Question

Express your personal experience about phase "forgive and forget"

Answer 1

Answer:

I don't believe in "forgive and forget" I'm a "forgive but don't forget" kind of guy.

I'm a transgender guy who came out just a little over a year ago and I get misgendered and deadnamed by my family daily. My mom refuses to call me Thailer because she feels as though if I ever felt that I wasn't trans that I couldn't take it back. My father does it on purpose any chance he gets. My brothers do it on purpose when I anger them. And my sister is trying. At this point I'm getting used to being called the wrong name and pronouns all the time. So I just don't say anything and repress my emotions. That's the closest I can get.

The benefits of "forgive and forget" (or forgiving sincerely and forgetting immediately) are-

- Now you can avoid the psychological strain of possible trauma.

- You won't feel stressed or anxious around that person.

- You won't lose trust in them (if you had any to begin with)

- It's all in all just beneficial to your mental health.
