Understanding Resentment

Resentment is a complex emotion that stems from feeling wronged or mistreated, often showing a sense of unfairness or mistreatment. It can manifest when expectations about how we should be treated are not met, especially in close relationships. Resentment can arise from various experiences like feeling taken advantage of, being put down, dismissed, or having your feelings neglected. Expressing resentment is crucial as it can highlight what we value and serve as a form of protest against perceived injustices.
