Considering the importance of resentment in our lives, and the damage it does, it receives scant attention from psychiatrists and psychologists. Resentment is a great rationalizer: it presents us with selected versions of our own past, so that we do not recognize our own mistakes and avoid the necessity to make painful choices.

Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

I've known for years that resentments don't hurt the person we resent, but they do hurt us.

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

The worst resentment that anybody can have is one you feel justified to keep.

Oh, there's tons of resentment. That's normal. I can't control that, and I don't worry about it.

Bitterness and resentment only hurt one person, and it's not the person we're resenting - it's us.

So what exactly are the rewards of resentment. It is always a relief to know that the reason we have failed in life is not because we lack the talent, energy, or determination to succeed, but because of a factor that is beyond our control and that has loaded the dice decisively against us.

People say you have to work on your resentments. Yeah, no, I'm gonna hang onto them and they're gonna fuel my attack.

Human nature is you work shoulder to shoulder in a real emotional kind of setting, and there are jealousies that come up. There's resentment, and resentment turns to just outright bad things.
