− | '''Resentment''' can result from a variety of situations, involving a [[perceived]] wrong done to an [[individual]], and often are sparked by [[expressions]] of injustice or humiliation. Common [[sources]] of resentment include [[public]]ly humiliating incidents such as accepting [[negative]] treatment without voicing any protest, an object of regular [[discrimination]] or [[prejudice]], envy/[[jealousy]], [[feeling]] used or taken advantage of by others, and having achievements go unrecognized, while others succeed without working as hard. Resentment can also be generated by dyadic [[interactions]], such as [[emotional]] rejection or [[denial]] by another [[person]], deliberate embarrassment or belittling by another [[person]], or ignorance, putting down, or [[scorn]] by another [[person]].[2] Often resentment can begin early, as in the case of [[children]] who are unequipped [[emotionally]] to [[respond]] otherwise to the [[divorce]] of the [[parents]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resentment] | + | '''Resentment''' can result from a variety of situations, involving a [[perceived]] wrong done to an [[individual]], and often are sparked by [[expressions]] of injustice or humiliation.
