I am the living embodiment of karma. Soon my wrath shall be brought down upon everyone. Just but swift.

I don't hold personal vendettas so much as I'll mark that against you and you need to do something of equal or greater karmik value for me to forgive.

Does anyone say here "I forgive you" when they actually don't mean it?

There is a lot that I can forgive (after all, I have a very non-confrontational manner and wouldn't want something to carry on for too long). However, it's very difficult for me to forget. Sure, forgetting details comes naturally to me (almost too naturally), but if someone hurt me significantly I would remember it for a long time.

But as for forgiveness I can forgive a lot.

Except for rape. Or. Drug pushing. Or killing my family or something like that. Normal stuff I can easily forgive.

I don't ever forgive.

You want to know why? Nobody that does anything bad to me ever feels bad about it. Me forgiving them will do no good, and would probably just be foolish of me in the end.

I used to hold grudges for a long period. I don't know what brought on the change but it can take up to a couple of days to forget. When it comes to forgiveness I suppose it comes with the forgetting. The longer it takes me to forget the longer it will probably take me to forgive.
If the offender appologises sincerly then my forgiveness will come quicker.

Bored out of my mind.

I do that sometimes. I'll be like "OK, I forgive you" but deep down I am still angry/upset. I'm not sure why I do it - if the person seems genuinely sorry then I'd probably say I forgive them without meaning it.

Mom told me never to talk to strangers, and you're pretty strange.

I pretty much don't forgive unless you're a friend of mine. It's probably turning into a mental illness as we speak.

I've always had a difficult time forgiving those who have hurt me. It's one of the reasons I don't talk to my family.

Sweet, vengeful blood or a good, honest, genuine apology backed with whole hearted intent on avoiding reoccurance. Check the eyes for lies.
