How To Get Over Resentment

Resentment can be a tough one because more often than not, the person we are bitter and resentful toward has no idea we resent them. There is a process to stop feeling resentful so we can let go of resentment and in this video I'm going to teach it to you.

What was one of your biggest takeaways from this talk?

[@VideoCesar07]

Try to always take a step back and ask yourself if the feeling is coming because of an expectation that you had of the other person doing or saying something and not because they are unappreciative. Also remember that people also have things going on in their lives and if they did do something to offend you it probably wasn't intentional, particularly if that is not how they behave.

[@craigmerkey8518]

@@VideoCesar07 Three big take aways! 1.) You have a 7, 5 and 2 yo.... wow !! 2.) You usually mostly push me out of my zone of comfort to examine myself. 3.) Recognizing the vibrations of resentment from my primary environment in areas where it bleeds over into other parts of my life!

[@chanuppuluri8726]

1. Get curious and ask yourself 2. Give yourself what you think you're needing and silently expecting from others. Feel fulfilled, it can be in your hands - that's allowed.

[@gerir8634]

The ending was so profound regarding holding on to resentment. Any suggestions for someone who will not let go and keeps harboring ill feelings for more than a decade?

[@Thebobsingleshows]

This is so true. , In your example of driving , I expected to hear the word trust , the expectations would have been less would it not if the trust is stronger from the bigger picture of the relationship day to day. I feel I would do the same because my day to day has little trust . After all I was with a BPD / covert NPD and am trauma bonded severely now. More on that later in your comments of videos .

The root of resentment is disrespect from others.When it is repeated you will feel good by cutting your losses and getting out

[@bittmanbobby]

Actually I have gotten resentment from my "friend" when I did nothing wrong. There is two sides to resentment. Sometimes it's justified and sometimes not

[@primrosedahlia9466]

I agree 100%. I resent my sister in law more than anyone else. I've tried to work on myself, but the hate I feel for her just builds and builds. She's the coldest most arrogant person I know. She has no empathy or sympathy. The fact that she expected that I was there for her when she had issues with her husband - my brother, but when I've been struggling getting out of a destructive relationship, suffering with trauma, trying to parent traumatized children and on top of that dealing with serious illness - she's not been there even 1%, she's talked behind my back, ne et been supportive, never showed my kids any love.. It feels like she kicked me when I was laying on the ground crying. I know my resentment for her is poisonous to myself, but I can't seem to get rid of it... And I agree with you that when people are disrespectful it's best to cut them loose and stay far away, especially if it's a more than one incident situation. It's such a huge sign of personality disorder like narcissism. I wish I could move far far away from them. When I don't have to deal with them I'm fine. The resentment just comes up if I have to deal with them. It's driving me mad. I want to let go of it. I resent her more than I resent my exe who abused me... That's how much she hurt me.

[@kayligo]

Sometimes the only way to “win” is to not play the game. Remove yourself and move on.

[@Sarah-ft8jr]

Not everybody has trouble communicating or being honest in their relationship. Resentment can exist when you have fully and openly verbalized your every thought and feeling numerous times over.

[@JapidTheKiwi]

Hey, I relate to this, completely. have you been able to work through this? Has anything worked for you? I hope you see my comment. Thanks ❤️

[@ayoutubegirl5933]

That's the current situation I'm in. If they don't take you seriously the first few times(and it shouldn't even be that many) then they don't care. Step away and move on. If its family, then set boundaries and don't spend too much time with them.

Hi Curtistine, You are loved and valued always. Just one concern regarding the phrase "they don't care". Sounds like an assumption to me, and assumptions are not facts.

"Don't expect so much of other people and you won't be disappointed as much," my first husband once said to me. Over 30 years later, I haven't forgotten that. I no longer expect big favors or even small ones from anyone, even my family. I used to resent them for allowing me to be homeless. But now I rely solely on myself and God.

Resentment can be also a sign that is time to walk away -like if a person is always giving you this feeling. I struggle with my resentment towards my mom since she is very absent and most of the time only cares about her problematic boyfriends, it's hard not to feel resentful

[@kresivarivkah612]

Resentment can motivate one to protect oneself and set boundaries. I just listened to a talk by Jordan Peterson. But, we must use it wisely. Every emotion is valid.

[@pippipster6767]

I agree. The mantra of always forgive everybody all the time and never resent is unrealistic. As you say emotions and feelings should be respected and not artificially ignored or removed. Sometimes resentment is entirely fitting.

[@julieholt7889]

This is helpful in otherwise healthy relationships. When it comes to relationships with abusive people, resentment is a self-preservation mechanism.

[@hazelrolle5870]

Yes that's true, so what's needed is withdrawal as a better protection than resentment.

[@sherrytaylor3738]

Withdrawal isn't always an option

[@Karmawillgetyou]

So true. The author of the video never thought of a scenario when for example : you are falsely accused of an atrocious act by someone you loved or cared about. It is not about difference in values. To falsely accuse someone is wrong everywhere. Then, resentment becomes self-preservation.

[@ChelseaSeburn]

By resenting someone.. you're giving them your power. It boils down to a person not doing what you wanted them to. I think a key to releasing resentment is accepting that other people will not always do what you want/expect them to do. People will make mistakes...and that's okay. Communication is key. Thank you for this video. I watched resentment corrode my mother and sisters relationship.

[@andrereloaded1425]

Yes, our expectations of others and theirs of us.. is a huge part of getting past it.

[@jenshark4]

i.e. lower expectations. I am a high achieving person and thus my expectations of those around me are really high. I have to constantly remind myself to tone it down a bit. And that is ok that other people don’t have expectations that match mine. This video really speaks to me.

I come to this incredible little corner of the internet.... I feel Better.

[@BrotherTree1]

Lack of self respect and responsibility, to me, are two of the big key drivers to resentment. It's understandably very tempting because it's gratifying in the short term to relinquish politeness/self-respect and responsibility by lashing out to show dominance and demonstrating how malicious you can be if you don't get your way so that no one can dare challenge and "mess with you"... but the problem is that it creates further problems and/or aggrevates the existing problem even more and that can lead to unnecessary disasters - because the more you engage in it (which you will if you just leave it alone and unconsciously), the stronger and worse it gets and can get extremely destructive and abusive and potentially murderous. It's a vicious cycle; a feedback loop that incrementally builds as you habitualise it. So... leaving it unaddressed for long enough and it's highly likely that the harboured bitterness and resentment can manifest itself unconsciously such as direct or indirect revenge on others, and escalating into worse matters such as extreme abuse. To resolve it, you have to address it as soon as possible and that's firstly through painstakingly consulting with your own conscience and, if it helps further, you can discuss it with others such as your partner, friend, family member, therapist, etc. so that, rather than using him/her to think and/or do things for you (which takes your gift of independence away as well as unnecessarily burden the other person with things they're not responsible for - it's a insufferable situation for both of you), he/she can instead help you to think out loud for yourself by listening and reflecting back on your thoughts. To me, the key is reclaim responsibility for your own wellbeing and the complicated processes that come with it, and then go from there and articulate the issue and then find ways to resolve it psychologically and practically. Could be a thoughtfully inspiring self-discussion ripe with potential new opportunities from here on in (learned and accounted from that experience in the past), or doing/creating something that simultaneously makes the matter less worse and offers some optimistic pathway forward that can benefit yourself in many multidimensional ways and, even better as a consequence, also the people around or involved with you too. And it has to be underpinned by the intention to negotiate/self-negotiate towards mutual peace rather than looking to win and dominate, regardless of whether you're right or wrong, etc. Who knows... with many more years of practice, as well as psychological and philosophical excavation and evaluation of past experiences, it's possible that you may end up justifying the underlying deeply rooted issues and address that "hot temper" and the source of it. More often than not, it boils down to the proposition that life is undeniably unfair and full of suffering (because at some point or another, we've all been wronged and endured tragedy to some degree or another which has internally shaped us - and then it's about how to respond to that "shaping")... the question is how the hell we can justify it in a way that can be helpful and useful to us and also more likely to avoid falling into unnecessary pits that you can then see after hindsight and enlightenment from these past known and yet-to-be-known experiences.

Everything connected to me. This came at the right time for me as well. Working on a 12 step program and already did my 4th step which is writing out all resentments. We're always reminded that expectations are future resentments. On step 9 now which is about making amends to people I have wronged and one of them is someone I have HUGE resentments against and have kept me stuck on this step for months now. I know that most likely they will never recognize or apologize for what they did to me so this video has helped me refocus on having to make amends to what I did to them, not what they did to me.

[@peanuthead5280]

I feel this strongly. I entered the in law family for 5 years and then the co sister in law just pops up after dating my husband's brother for 6 months. I was so excited to be friends with her but she immediately was cold to me. She wouldn't reciprocate any type of communication or connection I tried to make with her. What really began the resentment was how the in laws began to treat her. They treated me very cold and distance from the start, never tried to get to know me, won't put any effort to communicate with me or hang out. I just chalked it up to us not being compatible or they are just defensive and don't know how to act around me or they're not good at talking to new people. But then in walks this new girl and immediately it was like the president had just married in to the family. They text and call her all the time, they go out to eat, they travel hours away to see her when I live 10 mins away, they chat so well with her and actually have conversations with her that aren't superficial. Whenever I'm with them together they just shove down my throat how much more connected they are to the point that I resent this girl soo much. I question what I did to them, what I could've said or maybe I'm just not good enough. I tried mimicking what she does and it didn't make a difference and it made me feel fake and like it really is that they just hate me for no reason. Now I have to sit back and watch them plan for her wedding and dress shop when the in laws couldn't even be bothered to care about my wedding. The mother in law bailed on my bachelorette party that she wanted to plan for me which ended up never happening. She never showed up to my fittings. They left my wedding early. So yeah I'm envious and resentful because what is so special about this sister in law that no matter what she does she's perfect, I have to only hear about her and how amazing she is when I try to hang out with them, she gets everything I've ever asked for which is just love and inclusion. I have no idea how to unpack it because they are people that will not listen to reason and very fixed to their ideas, I can't just ignore them because they emotionally guilt me and my husband for distancing ourselves even thought they don't value us when we're around, and they see no faults in their own actions.

[@joywilliams5861]

Wow! I'm so sorry that you're going thru that. I hope that you can find the strength to get past their rejection and just continue to live life with your husband within your very own happy place. Sometimes family can be so disingenuous and it's nothing you can do about that. Unfortunately 🙄 Sending you peace and blessings ❤️

[@Sarajrossi]

To be honest with you, I would just cut that off and try to be happy myself and my husband, you married him not them, if you feel bad and uncomfortable and belittle, cut that off, you deserve peace and being treated right by the people who surrounds you. I cut that off and idgf 😀😀😀

[@Pam730]

Exactly how my in laws have done me! After 20 years, I'm still not good enough. But they just adore my husbands ex wife who cheated on my husband and was a dead beat mom while I raised her 2 children for her. My husband wonders why I'm so bitter and send him alone to his family gatherings. And my don't they just love posting all the photos of the great time they all had while I wasn't there! It's sick really. These people are mental. If I had to guess, just like in my case, these people are jealous. I'm sure you are an amazing lady and your light is blinding those demons. At least that's what I tell myself. Stay strong and may God richly bless you!

[@user-lv3rl3to1j]

I can relate to this so much. Keep your distance pursue your peace without them.

[@21cormorants]

I wonder if your husband might have been the scapegoat of the family (particularly common in narcissistic families), and his brother the golden child. If that’s the case, then it makes sense, despite being completely unfair. If they are narcissists, honestly, enjoy the distance and count yourself lucky. The less “favours” they think they hold over you, the less emotional blackmail you’ll be on the receiving end of. Take care of yourselves and be well, and just know that some people are worth not ever getting closer to. ❤

Hi Julia, I want to thank you for this video. I have been struggling with the most terrible thoughts because of all the resentment I have toward my family, in specific my father.

Part of it was to visualise someone that you didn't 'feel' kindly to. So I did - what really surprised me is that I wasn't willing to let go of the resentment and anger that I feel for them and then I actually saw that there were several people - in my past - that I still hold resent for. The scaring thing is that I don't want to give this up for any of them!! This seem a bit crazy to me as on the whole I would say that I was a good person. My search about resentment lead me to you and I am thankful for your video - at least now I understand why I feel it - I just need to work on why I'm so comfortable with this resentment and why I don't want it to go - I guess I still am waiting for them to 'pay' - ha ha and that's not going to happen - oh dear - sad face!!

They do know, we all know. I agree, resentment is unmet expectations, and human desire is a core expectation. That is all resentment is here. It’s not drinking poison, it’s not about knowledge and awareness. It’s constant, lifelong negative reactions by the same people that cause you to dislike them.

I just got on the waiting list for the shift society, looking forward to that! :) I am stuck with the childhood experience of being to much for my parents to handle emotionally, they confirmed that this impression was true a few weeks ago and I'm now trying to handle this, moving beyond social anxiety and lack of relationships. All your work is providing me with a lot of courage and a great entry way for tackling my emotions/beliefs that are often to much and overwhelming, so many thanks to you!

Holding grudge against someone is like drinking a poison and expect the other person to die !!!!!!

[@lyndsiixo]

Thank you so much for this one!!! Would love more videos related to or branching off this topic ❤❤

Being in a relationship with a narcissist is a lot harder to get over the past hurts. You can forgive, but you can not unsee their actions.

[@siskristie2113]

Thank you! Your words were the key that unlocked the door. I feel so much lighter. There isn't a pit in my chest. My stomach is no longer in a knot. I am okay. Even though I did not get what I wanted or had expected, I am okay! I will be okay! Release for sure! Freedom...Yay!!!!!!!!

[@phillipbotha]

Hey Julia! Just stumbled upon your channel. I love it. I just gave myself a pat on the back for something someone else didn't acknowledge me for, and you are right, it did make me feel better. Thanks for putting this matter into perspective. Looking forward to the next video.

I feel that this speech is mostly applicable to anger, getting angry. When we cannot communicate what we need when we expect too much, then we get angry but resentful to me is very different and reasons are very different. It is a longer-term result of allowing others to disrespect, to disregard, to be unfair to you... and that is suppressed for a long time, when we allow that to happen and continue, one day the devil of resentment wakes up and very difficult to calm it down. Anger still can harm in the short-term due to our fuses being short and keep showing anger for anything even tiny stuff and it can cause damage to the relationships that are mostly good enough but the resentment usually comes up after a long time of allowing ourselves to be some form of abuse, unequal relationship and we know we did not we could not stand up for ourselves and kept allowing that to happen again and again and again with the same person. That is to me the resentment. If that was dealt with early on, after a few first instances by cutting off or confronting the person, it would just be healthy anger, not resentment - resentment brews like a strong bitter cup of tea that makes it a hidden enemy of health and all other neurotic behaviours later in life.

Thank you for that incredible incite. I’m Wes. I’m feeling a lot of resentment within a relationship with my wife and I’m finding this so very helpful. Thank you!

[@lukedodge2754]

Thank you!! Very helpful putting that into perspective.

[@MrsStepford]

Hey. This is quality content. I think my problem as a "people pleaser" is that I struggle with the fact that other's don't tend to have those tendencies and don't view pleasing others (ME) as a priority and I get resentful that they don't make the same effort as I do. I guess this is the rulebook I have made for myself and I need to take a different look at the situation. Thank you.

[@tabbydavis4328]

I have so much resentment towards a few people. Need so much help. Loved the video.

[@asmaitgebremical7716]

I discovered your channel about a week ago and have been binge watching since. I really love your content.

[@shan504]

Amazing video! Thank you Julia. Great food for thought.

[@SpotterSky]

Wow that speech is an eye opener and a great mental technique. Thanks Julia!

[@nickatnight9103]

Unfulfilled expectations! I love this so much!

[@theshizz90]

Thank you Julia!!! I have received so much value from your videos, I’ve stared sharing on my Facebook page. Thank you!!!!!

[@Politicallyhomeless18]

This completely resonated with me...you dont need anyone elses approval to feel worthy or valued...it feels nice obvs but you arent defined by that

[@vyte6531]

Thank you so much! You helped me realize that i am feeling resentful towards a friend and don't feel like i can speak to them about it at all. This person puts me down often, has over stepped boundaries, disrespected me Infront of someone else, accusing me of things and just so many things over not even a year... Her insecurities were placed onto me instead of her bringing me up like a friend should as whole. I got belittled/ talked down to just degraded as person over such a small mistake (misplacing their drinks when moving them the night before) really early in the morning pretty much abusing me which made me remove myself from the conversation. Its getting too much and i think what makes me resent them the most is they treat me like this knowing how much im struggling and how much stress im under in my life. I don't know what to do but I'm taking time to process my feelings. I've been in a friendship like this when i was younger very one sided criticism and the other can do no wrong. Ive said to their face lightly to stop coming at me and when they disrespected me Infront of someone they didn't get the hint. I feel like they will jump down my throat or blame shift.

[@vyte6531]

neighbours with both of the people i experience this with which makes it so much more difficult.

[@gaelg8664]

Hi, I really like the way you explain and talk about tricky issues. Resentment complicates our life, at least my life sometimes and it feels so good to hear someone talking about it. It can help to notice we are not alone and mostly that it exists some tools to get over this issue that might hold us back. Thanks again for your both clear and valuable tips. Have a good day. Take care!

[@Blessed1111_]

Hello! You are amazing. Your videos have helped me get through a brutal breakup. So thank you!

[@WESTSIDECALI916]

The Resentment I held within my heart for this past year.Cost me being able to enjoy and appreciate the last times I should have made as favorable and Memorable moments I could have shared with the women who gave me life.I could not feel past my hurt let alone Open my mouth to ever truly tell my mother what I was feeling in my heart.If I could have only expressed to her how much I loved her and needed her in my life.Instead of holding all my pain in and acting as if she only made me mad.I can see myself so clear now that she passed away this Mother’s Day early morning.When I was filled with hurt only my anger would show.Yet now that she is no longer around the anger is now gone and I can now feel all my moms worth.Its hard when you come to terms to know you don’t actually know how to express hurt emotions only every other emotion In between.I grow up holding my hurt inside and shaking it off.But over the years it’s made me sheltered off from mostly all.Knowing now that I have a major problem if I couldn’t even open up my heart to let my own mother back inside.Has me seeking deeper within to figure myself out.I wish I could have just told my mom I loved her instead of avoiding her out my life.At the time I thought that’s what I needed to heal but either way I struck out because my moms life wasn’t as long as I had always imagined it would have been.They say in life we learn yet this is one lesson I would rather LiVe WiThOuT💔Thanks Julia Kristina for all your helpful insights and Techniques to inner healing.Blessings ur way ALWAYS✍🏽

Thanks Julia for this wonderful topic it is a blessing to have got this notice on KZbin I must have needed it

[@aoifeoleary8152]

This was such a brilliant, high quality content video. Thank you.

[@evanemetkonc4299]

Your words are gold, Julia. ❤️

[@lostincredulity5369]

This probably makes sense for minor things like in your example. When you are experiencing significant abuse then it’s not a model I can put into place.

[@lostagain6258]

Thank you very much for this! It's been very helpful. 👍👏🙏

[@jillkent6134]

Hi I’m Jill I have just found your channel. I have a lot of autoimmune diseases and have been working on my emotional issues and it is becoming clear to me that resentment is one of my main negative emotions, I am hoping that in clearing this my health will improve.

[@anasalgado8775]

I just subscribed a little while ago and you’ve already helped me so much.. thank you ❤

[@sghavam9502]

thanx Julia, I did enjoy this video. It's just eye-opener to me. good luck 🙏👍

[@vivahvv]

I'll go you one more. It is actually our responsibility to ourselves to provide the; respect, love, compassion, gratitude, etc. that we sometimes expect from others. Don't kid yourself, they feel our resentment too even if we don't say anything. The best part is that when we unconditionally give; respect, love, compassion, gratitude, etc. to ourselves then we can give that to others. You cannot give what you don't have. The less expectations we have of others then the more peaceful and happy we are, and less fearful. When gratitude is conditional on someone else expressing it to us, it can also be taken away, hence the fear. That puts a lot of pressure on relationships and a lot of score keeping. Since I have been practicing self-encouragement, I really enjoy encouraging others, and I am detached from whether they encourage me or not. Love your channel!

So good! Thank you so much for making this video

[@suladaly3635]

You're amazing, very informative video. I have learn something new today because of you. You deserve this subscription 🙏🙏

[@DreamUX]

the two people I hold resentment toward aren't even in my life anymore. they were malignant narcissists and took advantage of an asymmetrical power dynamic in our living situation (relational aggressive, gaslighting, deflecting, hostility, narcissistic rage, every kind of abuse you can think of besides physical, etc.). I'm pretty sure the last and most terrible of the two was in a cult. I'm just in a fog and fallout from narcissistic abuse syndrome/c-ptsd at this point. There hasn't been a day where I haven't fantasized about extreme revenge, and the last of it was in Oct of last year. My limbic system is totally fried at this point. Wish there was better, more experience-informed advice for people who don't have partners/strong social networks and still find themselves in these situations (e.g., millennials who have co-habit in ways previous generations did not).

[@noserialkiller3596]

I'm binge-watching videos on how to let go of a grudge. This video was also helpful, thanks! No Serial Killer.

Great video. Too much energy is expended when you harbor resentment.
