Yeah I envisioned as much. It's almost like some people just don't know how to forgive and move on with life. Maybe they were spoiled too much when they were younger or something lol.
I seriously doubt Taylor Swift did anything to this individual, but taking things again at face value, you just forgive and part of that is just moving on with life. If Taylor Swift really did do anything, then be the bigger person and let her be the one who is miserable.
Sure, PTSD is awful; it can complicate many of these steps. However, a genuine attempt has to be made and this isn't it.
I think it's a cultural conditioning thing, they are brought up to think that forgiveness is an act of mercy, a decision to not seek to punish someone who has wronged them. That it is something that someone would/should ask for, rather than it being an act of letting go of negative emotions.
Being told they should forgive someone means to them that they are in a position of power and have been wronged.
