Can confirm.

Protip to not become a resentful adult: Vent and vent often. Keeping that shit bottled up is the starting breeding ground for most of today's personality disorders.

Quiet resentment eventually begets external aggression.

    For me the quiet resentment has begotten a wicked dark humour, which I'm generally good with 😏

    Vent, but work to heal the underlying trauma. I've definitely met people with personality disorders that vent constantly, but they don't actually work on healing the damage and developing orthopraxia. If your perception of self or others seems destructive (even if you feel it's true) try discussing it with a professional. Maybe there's no issue, but maybe you'll get some tools to keep you from engaging in destructive behavior

    Or just surround yourself with competent and responsible people, and shut out incompetent and irresponsible ones out of your life so you don't have anyone to resent.

    How does that happen, exactly? Asking for a friend.

    You just do it. If someone is continually incompetent, stop interacting with them.
