what has worked for you to stop getting angry thinking about people who hurt you? (linux.community)

I'm letting people who hurt me in the past live rent free in my mind.

One episode involves a former landlord that tried to run me over in an intersection with no traffic cameras.

Another one involves a manager that fired me for informing that one of his favorites yelled during night shift and ignored alarms to talk. He fired me the next day, used the exit interview to tell me everything I didn't do right (but kept quiet about his favorites, even though I did the job like them), still had the utmost confidence on his favorites, accused me of being lazy and instead of simply firing me and keeping neutral he chose to take it personal, proceeded to try to scare me insinuating I wouldn't work for his system again, when that failed, tried to humiliate me and then fired me. This was in an non union hospital.

When I think about it I get angry. Id like not to be so thin skinned, but here I am.

I've become so jaded with people in general I can't be arsed bothering with what anyone but my wife and mother think of me, do to me or say to me.

I don't know what has happened to cause you to be jaded but I want you to know you're worth being hurt, it doesn't make you less and I hope you are happy despite the pain you've felt.
