    I usually easily forgive but hardly forget.

    If I forgive someone, and if she/he don't do anything that need my forgiveness in some times (maybe 1 month; 1 year, ... depending of what it was) I even forget that too!

    I forget more than other people in general! Cause I really believe in this: "All human being make mistakes time to time"! So if I can convince myself that it was just a mistake; I easily can forgive and forget it... But if I feel that it was not a mistake; I even may don't forgive easily.

    I forget everything ( happy and sad things ) very soon , it's a bad habit that I forget soon..

    I forgive but sometimes there 's no need to forgiving because before forgiving you forget it..

    it happened to me a lot when someone hurts me and my feelings and I forget it soon , then I saw her/him and I was really relax ( because I forgot that issue ) but I noticed a kind of embarrassment on that person and then I got it , it was because of the issue that I forgot and he/she not..

    1, if they come back tome and say they are regretful about what happened, I might forgive! i try to at least!

    2, if they continue, I don't forgive nor forget! I answer back :D

    3, if they get away, and I feel like they were unimportant, I try to forget!

    4, If I still feel I love them, and they have always been important to me and they really bothered ne ... I can not do anything! :-|

  • Depends...if they're my good friends then I'll forgive then only once, but I never forget what they done

    If they're just my friends or people I know, then I never forgive them. Either way, I'll always remember the hurt they cause

    It's complicated. You can't forgive if it is still on your mind and hurting you & you can't forget if you are still mad at that person.So it would be Both or None!

    If I'm so deeply hurt I neither forgive or forget nor take revenge, just leave then
