Have you ever felt guilty for not caring about what happens to someone who hurt you? Maybe you’ve been told to “be the bigger person,” to forgive, to feel sympathy — even when they showed you none.
In this episode of Healing Chingon, I dive into why it’s perfectly okay not to feel bad for those who wronged you, and why neutrality is often a sign of growth, not cruelty.
We’ll explore:
- The difference between compassion and guilt-driven empathy
- Why we feel pressured to care about people who caused us harm
- How neutrality can bring freedom and peace
- Practical tools to release guilt and protect your energy
This isn’t about bitterness — it’s about reclaiming your healing and detaching from cycles that no longer serve you.
Because sometimes, healing means saying: “Their story isn’t mine to carry anymore.”
You don’t have to mourn out of guilt…
