> Are you the type of person to forgive (and possibly forget)?
Those are two different questions, and they should be asked very separately. Forgiveness is very easy for me to give; in fact, others sometimes tell me I'm too generous in my forgiveness, giving it to others even if they're not sorry for the things they've done. Forgetting, however, is a tricky thing; it's really darn hard to do. I like to put it in this way: the likelihood of me forgetting something that happened is directly proportional to how close a friend they are to me. With the closest of my friends, those who think most like me and trust me the most, we have agreed that our very own history was different than what really happened, that we rewrote the story of our friendship to make it more mystical and magical. Of course, I still remember the 'true' story, but my willingness to forgive is heightened by it, because I don't want to remember it. Strangers though I have a hard time forgetting personal acts against me. So... I guess that answers the question.
> Do you easily say those two words, "I'm sorry!"?
Yes, very easily. It usually takes me about five seconds thinking about things to realize that, no, I'm not perfect, that I screw things up just like everyone else, and that I've contributed to a problem. Even if I feel like I'm being a burden to someone, I say those words, but when I say them, I make them heartfelt, because I truly am.
> Do you expect to be forgiven when you've actually said them and meant it?
I never EXPECT others to forgive me. This doesn't mean that I don't want others to forgive me; it means that I realize that I can't force someone else to forgive me and that, in a way, it's a miracle that someone does forgive me when I screw up. It's a sign that they care for me and love me. It's something that I personally can never bring myself to expect, for in doing so, it is a miracle every time it happens.
> How do you feel when someone won't forgive you for something?
Horrible. But, not surprised. I want everyone in the world to like me, because I want to help everyone in any way that I can. When someone refuses to forgive, they take away from me the chance that I have to help them, and so someone is ripped out of my life. At the same time, I know that someone of this type isn't someone that understands me well enough to be very close to me, and so in time, I manage to understand that it's for the best...
