todays capitalism in steroids (too much competition) makes a lot of people perfectionist to the point of being unforgiving to their selves and others, one small mistake in your wage slave job for example and you are fired, one old wrong social media post that people found out and all hell will break loose on you too, etc

so how unforgiving are you? i try to forgive as much as possible since its not healthy although my scumbag brain is usually unforgiving

your other thoughts about this too?

If the person is capable of learning from his previous mistakes, then there is not one reason for me to not forgive him. But if the person is determined to be a failure, then it doesn't really matter much does it?

i'm probably not as forgiving as i should be given how much i've fucked up in my own life. as a general rule i'll forgive anything up until deliberate cruelty which i think is pretty reasonable. if someone has shown to be malicious towards you then they'll likely re-offend regardless of whether you forgive them.

It depends on what they've done to me, so, really, "my forgiveness" doesn't do anything or affect me personally, because I'll never see their faces again.

I'm a forgiver in almost all cases because I have some personal beliefs guiding me to forgiveness, it does me no good to keep anger bottled up.

I say that, but there's some shit I can't get around to forgiving. Although, given enough time, I think I'd forgive these things too.

I never forgive myself, though, no matter how much effort I put into it.

How unforgiving the treatment can be is only determined by how extreme the action was.

It can be difficult for me to forgive others unless they show what I consider genuine remorse, and it may not possible depending on the action. Yes I can be petty. I don't mean in regards to those stupid purity tests though. All people are awful under the surface so chastising others when they see a crack is just self-righteous nonsense.

It's better for people to be more forgiving because it does not encourage such superficial appearances, as not being so prevents real change and simply makes people hide what they are really like to the majority.

I can see you

You can forgive others since you do not know them well and you don't know the reasoning behind their actions. But you know yourself. And its hard to forgive yourself with that knowledge. Also if you forgive yourself everything easily, you can justify everything, even crime (internally).

i have a very good memory tho so if someone spited me i will never forget it but i don't bother with people i don't even know

Why so many options with only "try to" instead of "do" or "will" forgive?

I'm not the type to bear grudges, except for if someone did something extremely outrageous, which hasn't happened so far.

I still regret the mistakes I did, but it's not like I would constantly blame myself for them, either, so I'm forgiving to myself, too.

I forgive most people pretty easily, but that doesn't mean I'll suddenly like them. It took me some time to make this distinction, but I think it's important to note that regardless of which side you're on (the one forgiving or the one being forgiven), you can still dislike each other. Forgiveness just means that you won't hold someone's actions against them, meaning you won't retalliate either, but you're not obligated to suddenly enjoy their company more.

Well I am chronically antisocial, BUT! If I hate people I work with, I deal with them because, y'know, gotta keep the relationships at work as professional as possible. I also forgive my own mistakes rather than let any regret consume me. Though if I made a mistake that was just full out my fault, I'll suffer out the shame, because I deserve it in that case.

I just don't know how to forgive. If there is something that the other person did wrong for some reason I always think about it and how the other parson could have dome better in their judgement. It's worse when it puts not only me, but a bunch of other people in an awkward situation. It's really dumb and I should learn how to forgive. On a scale? Maybe 1/10

I will always give someone another chance to redeem themselves. Only exception is murder, sexual assault, displaying an innate lack of empathy, or committing wrongdoings several times with no sign of them trying to change themselves for the better. Unfortunately the internet is chalk full of the last two (and a surprising amount of the third) so my faith in humanity is quickly declining.

"try to" sounds so negative, like in a reference letter:

"he tried to work his best" = "he failed horrible"

"will" is giving an intention

In my culture there's something called siri', if one crosses my siri' line I will most likely not get involved with the person anymore for the rest of my life. There was someone who did that at work before, I tried to endure and showed him how I dislike he crossed my line, but he never understood. I resigned and went back to my hometown. But that's just how people in my area who still hold that tradition. Anything else, I can forgive.

I'm pretty unforgiving, even though on the surface, I will not let it show.
I don't believe in the sugarcoating of "I forgive, but I don't forget", because that means precisely that you are not forgiving after all.

I haven't suggested using "should", because that would imply a moral obligation. And "try to" still sounds as a poor alternative compared to "I will do my best" or just "I('m) do(ing) my best"

There might be some relation with speaking a language with weak future tense reference and one with strong future tense reference:

For the most part, I'm pretty forgiving. I'm not easily upset, and I don't like to dwell on things and don't even have a good enough memory to hold grudges. But it's entirely dependent on the person and situation.

i don't try forgiving, my anger dissipates quickly to the point where i can forgive someone easily. which ends up with me going back to them. sometimes it's good, a lot of the time it's bad, so i've both likes and hated my forgiving attitude

i tend to be very unforgiving towards myself when trying to perfect a task, which leads me to be very angry or very depressed. thankfully that doesn't happen a lot

I don't forget or forgive anything major like someone cheating on me. Things like arranging to meet up and then forgetting are fine as long as it doesn't become a theme.

A neighbour tried to screw me over once, she failed and then was sending me Christmas cards and trying to talk to me but I will never forget or forgive.
