Resentment Is a Boundary Signal

If you feel growing resentment toward someone — a partner, a friend, a colleague — it's usually not because they're a terrible person. It's because a boundary is needed and hasn't been set. Resentment is the accumulation of unexpressed needs. Each time you swallow something that needed to be said, the balance tips a little more. It's not a verdict on their character — it's your psyche saying: something here needs to change.
