There’s nothing quite as sour as being wronged. Whether someone lied to you, disappointed you, or hurt you on purpose, it sucks. It’s normal to get upset or mad over it. Heck, it’s even normal to feel like that for a while… but when does a while become a grudge?

Holding a grudge is the act of harboring resentment or bitterness over a past wrongdoing. Harboring feelings is when you keep those feelings alive without addressing or resolving them. So, your hatred or anger is normal, until you fuel it to keep it going instead of encouraging it to go bye-bye. You know when you keep talking about that past wrong weeks and months after it’s done? Yeah, that.

Holding a grudge is supposed to be about showing the other person that they did wrong and that they don’t deserve forgiveness, but it does very little harm to the other person and more to you. Here are four big reasons why holding a grudge is holding you back from your own success.
