Hurt/Resentment
Family: Obstacle and boundaries
How it differs from similar states
From someone close to me; I expected them to do better.
How this can feel in the body
Tightness in your chest, the urge to turn away—your body withdraws from the person who hurt you.
It usually comes up when
Words or actions from someone you love that hurt or devalued you.
What this might be pointing to
Pain caused by unfairness from someone close to you—an emotion of close relationships.
What you can do with this
Resentment feeds on what remains unspoken. Be specific: "When you said X, I felt Y"—without generalising. If you can't say it yet, write it down for yourself.
Where the name comes from
Resentment is usually social—it tends to arise when someone close to you hurts you through their words or actions.
Not quite it?
Closest by feel — the same ones the compass would show.
Two minutes, and you will see whether this is really it
