And if you're enjoying this podcast, please consider sharing it with a friend because if you like it, they will probably like it too. Resentment is a special kind of emotion because it's really a blend of hurt and anger and judgment and injustice all rolled up together. It's very complex. At its core, resentment is fueled by a sense of unfairness.
It's the belief that someone has wronged you in some kind of way that's unjust. This could stem from feeling overlooked, undervalued, or taken advantage of. It's about not having your needs met or considered and that you're not really being valued or prioritized the way you feel that you should be.
And then you tie it all up with a pretty little bow of powerlessness, like you're not in a position or that you're able to say or do anything about it. So it quietly stews and simmers beneath the surface. Sometimes you don't even realize that you're resentful until it starts to affect how you think feel, or act towards this other person.
But the stewing and brewing is partly what makes resentment more insidious because it's not openly acknowledged or addressed. It's more kind of just sitting there underneath the surface and it festers. And rather than an overt expression like we get with anger, it oozes out of us in more subtle ways. And it can often be expressed in passive aggressive behavior. This is why it is so toxic.
I call resentment the silent killer. It's like mold growing in the dark. You can't see it, but you can feel it. It's like acid erosion slowly eating away at our physical health, our emotional wellbeing, and our relationships too. It's a joy killer. a desire killer, a relationship killer. And often the offense isn't even overt and obvious.
Sometimes it's just very subtle and it's more about what the offense means rather than the offense itself. It's connected to a deeper sense of betrayal or inequity. And it's a prolonged exposure to a series of offenses that just add up, creating a story about the person or the relationship that that you're in. For example, you have a friend who's always late.
This is annoying for sure, but resentment comes into play and starts to build if you believe this friend consistently doesn't respect your time, doesn't value you or prioritize your relationship, and you feel unable to address it. Or maybe you have a business and you're constantly bending over backwards for your customers or your clients, or you're not charging enough for your services.
