I legitimately find it difficult to long term stay annoyed with people who have wronged me. I have close friends and family telling me how ridiculous it is I’m still in touch and friendly with people I used to consider friends but briefly cut them out after they treated me horribly. I can see the logic and feel as though I SHOULD hate certain people for how they’ve been in the past but I just don’t feel any anger or resentment and am quite happy to just forget the past. Is this weird and/or unhealthy?

    Not holding onto anger/resentment is called forgiveness, and it’s a good thing to do for your own sake. However, don’t put yourself in harm’s way, mental or physical, just because you’ve forgiven a person. Forgive all you want, but don’t forget.
