Visit: https://lifecoachbootcamp.com/relatio... Have you ever felt a strong recurring emotion when you slip into flashbacks? Do you feel intense anger when you go down the memory lane? Do you still remember the last time you were treated unfairly? Do you feel your blood boiling just by the thought of it? If you experience a huge wave of emotions that take a toll on your present emotional state, you could be full of resentment. What is resentment? Resentment is an emotional state we all experience. Just like our basic six emotions, feeling resentful is also a part of life and can easily disturb your mental health. Resentment stems from unexpressed anger that we keep bottled up inside. When we choose to suppress anger, it keeps snowballing inside and takes the form of resentment. As time passes, resentment becomes the cornerstone of hatred. Eventually it leads us to bitterness, deteriorated mental health, and damaged relationships. When a person starts resenting someone, it may seem subtle. He might also brush things off with a fake smile. But with time, the subtle resentment starts intensifying. And when the situation doesn’t get resolved and frustrations and disappointments keep getting piled up, it leads to strong hatred, which also sometimes leads to verbal and physical violence. Reasons behind resentment: There could be several reasons that fuel resentment. Sometimes a small yet hurtful comment from a friend, partiality in the workplace, humiliation, constant disrespect, being ignored, etc. give rise resentment. Sometimes our resentment gets directed towards ourselves. Inability to achieve goals, being socially awkward, inability to break toxic habits, being overly critical of yourself, etc. can lead to self-resentment. But there are some more factors that contribute to resentment which are as follow: Jealousy: “Why does my neighbor gets to drive that fancy car while I have to put up with two jobs?”, “Why on earth my SAT score is less than his when I studied harder?”, “Why my junior is getting a raise while being a senior, I get to clean up his mess?”. Jealousy can easily give a boost to resentment. Injustice: Standing up against injustice becomes easy when we don’t have much to lose. But what happens when we do? When things are at stake, we sometimes choose to tolerate injustice in silence. But inside, we keep burning with hatred which further gives rise to resentment. Insecurities: Our deep-rooted insecurities also lead to resentment. “Why is that guy talking to my girlfriend?”, “People make fun of me because of my crooked teeth”, “My boss always undermines my work because I am not good enough for my job”. Deep-rooted insecurities often lead to resentment directed towards people around us and sometimes, even to ourselves. Unhealthy Competition: Healthy competition encourages improvement and enables people to pick up new skills. It motivates people to push the boundaries and helps them achieve their goals. On the contrary, unhealthy competition gives rise to fear, discrimination, and comparisons which lead to resentment. Letting go of resentment
