Why am I so quick to forgive others? Do their feelings really matter more than mine? You know what - if you were my real friend you wouldn't have done anything to me that needed forgiveness. Why don't my feelings mean as much? You messed up, hurt me and now I'm supposed to forget everything and *magically* feel better because you said 'I'm sorry, please forgive me'? That's not really how it works in real life. Sure I said you are forgiven, but I'm still hurt. You're not off the hook that easy. Do you realize that I will now second guess and question you for the remainder of our friendship? Am I the one that is flawed because I expected more from you? Maybe so. I have now put my wall back up; best of luck breaking through.
