I forgive pretty quick... I don't think holding onto unforgiveness or any of the emotion that comes with it is ever, in any circumstance, the way to go!

Completely depends on who and what I'm angry about. For the most part I can let go of it easily but there are times I can hold s serious grudge. Case in point: one of my brothers called me on my wedding day to tell me I was going to hell because I married "that guy" (my almost-atheist husband). I haven't spoken to him since that day, 3 years in October. He may as well be dead to me, and I mourn him as if he was...who he used to be when we were younger.

Less extreme things I easily let go of, though. And it takes a lot to get me angry to begin with.

@mrbee: Yes, and that's a big part of the problem (with most of my family). Well that plus my political leanings and the fact that in their eyes I "betrayed the South" (and them) by moving north. It was rough for a while, but I have DH's family now (and one or two black sheep from my own

I used to have a pretty sharp tongue that was fairly transparent. So I had a more fiery temper but I didn't hold onto things for long. Now I rarely get angry with people but I do get irritated and I don't usually tell people when I'm irritated now (besides for my husband and family members) so it does take longer to get over smaller irritations. I don't really avoid people or act mean but just am a bit more guarded.

No, I get really upset then I get over it fast.

No, I can become angry quickly but I cool off quickly, too.

I don't hold into anger for long at all. That said, I can become fully indifferent to people quickly, which doesn't seem to affect me, but sometimes I wonder if its healthy, either?

Life's too short for a bunch of anger. I used to be pretty angry, but age and a great guy really mellowed me out... And babies. I'm mellow for my babies.
