Yeah, some people are harmful to me as it stands now. So my forgiveness has nothing to do with it. I need to stay away for my mental health. Disconnecting forgiveness and "another chance" helps me cope and find some release.

But in general, I am very forgiving of mistakes. Mistakes are unintentional or a source of regret. Goodness knows I have my own faults.

If people are intentionally hurtful to me and have no regret, I don't see where forgiveness even enters into it.

The hard part is that intent matters. And we can't read other people's minds. So I err on the side of being reasonable and forgiving, but there are limits.
Thanks for this!
