Is it normal to recall past slights and conflicts without getting over them?

I can recall almost every slight, insult, and conflict I've ever had with people in my life, and some of them still piss me off when I think of them. In fact, sometimes I brood and dwell upon them excessively, constantly replaying them in my head and wondering who was in the wrong and why. I have a hard time revisiting places where I've had conflicts, and whenever I see a person with whom I have had conflicts or have been slighted or insulted by, I immediately recall those issues the moment I see the person almost.

    • I suggest that you back away from the monitor and breath through your nostrils.

    Yes I do this too. Meanwhile, the same bullies continue to destroy nice people. I don't know what to do. Sorry that I can't help.

    You should read a book called "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.

    Yes I do this too. My doctor says I have a lot of built up hostility towards people who I feel have wronged me (real and imagined) and that I need to exercise it in a healthy way. If I had a gun I'd have been a mass murderer by age twenty. I'm sure I'll be fine though, happy thoughts.

    Im the same way, but I push past it and smile anyways. Its better to not let them see you upset. If you smile and walk away it leaves them wondering and a little confused.
