Is it normal to forgive so easily?

I never have enemies for longer than a year at a time. Even when I was bullied in school, I was pretty much able to treat the bully like any other kid by the next year.
In fact, some people I was on pretty bad terms with have even become friends of sorts, weird as that sounds. I hated one girl with a passion for a long time, and then somehow she became a friend last year. And I even reconciled with my backstabbing middle school friend a few years ago after a year and a half of not saying a word to each other.
The thing is, sometimes I wonder whether I give some people too many second chances. It hasn't had any major negative consequences so far, but sometimes I can't help but wonder, am I normal to be this forgiving?

  • I am rocked by violent impulses, so you don't want to need a chance because you have no chance of getting that chance in order to need a second chance.

    It's hard to say, but it's good that you are, some people don't find it easy. I don't think there's enough love in them to be honest but I hope they find it. Be as you are, you're doing nothing wrong.

    It is so much better to forgive than to have grudges. I'm glad that you practice this.

    That's a wonderful and rare trait to have. Don't ever lose it.

    But at the same time, don't go to far with that. You could risk being let down again.

    I can forgive a person in a few seconds, I think its like I dont care what people do. I just ignore them when they try messing with me but, as soon as they stop Im free to talk to them.

  • Yeah, I'm sucker for a sincere apology that shows the person understands what they did and is truly repentant.

    I wish I was like you. I believe people are entitled to second chances but they can fuck themselves if they screw with me for third time.
