I seem to have this problem with letting things go. It is when someone I care about or consider a friend hurts my feelings. I say prayers for them and about the situation. Which does work for a little while. Then BANG, it's back in my head again.

I have this huge urge to say something. Like, I have been wronged and they need to know they have done this to me. I know that's not the way I should be, but that's the way I feel.

This is all a learning process. I have to learn to let it go, and keep my mouth shut!! Very hard for an in your face drunk!!

So, how do you know when you should tell someone they have hurt you and when to just let it go? I guess it depends on each situation. Am I just wanting to prove that I am right? Boost the ego a little. Or do I want to make my feelings known to maybe not get hurt in the future?

How do you guys to it? Do you just dismiss the thought like we do when the thought of drinking pops into our heads?

Confused as usual,
Missy
