Injustice Collecting
https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200611/injustice-collecting
We have a complicated relationship with the grudges we hold. We get obsessed and aggravated by the many slights that befall us, but we're ever reluctant to bury our pain and move on. Like an illicit affair, our beloved grudges usually end up creating misery for all involved.
The tendency to itemize every unfair knock we've ever suffered is known as injustice collecting. Sometimes the injustices are personal, as in, "My boss unfairly promoted Rick over me." This kind of self-talk leads to anger. At other times, the catalogued outrages lead to overwrought generalizations, such as, "Nothing ever goes well; this is too unfair." This type of thinking leads to hopelessness and rage.
I notice DUmmies are often grudge holders. They really obsess about their plight in life on how unfair it is to them. It is a recurring theme at DU and stuff posted here. They are still very bitter towards President George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan.

Few DUmmies are Christians, and they never learned to forgive others. Theirs grudges don't hurt the other people, they only hurt themselves.
