Bitterness for Dummies

Alright, so let's talk about the word "bitterness." When we say someone is bitter, it means they feel really unhappy and upset about something that happened to them. It's like the feeling you get when you eat something really sour and it makes your face scrunch up because it doesn't taste good.

But bitterness can also be about someone holding onto those unhappy feelings for a long time. It's like they can't let go of those bad feelings, and it starts to affect how they see the world and how they treat other people.

For example, imagine if you really wanted to play a game with your friends, but they didn't let you join in. You might feel bitter because you were left out and it made you sad and upset. And if you kept feeling bitter about it for a long time, it could make you not want to play with your friends at all, even when they invite you to play other games.

So, bitterness is about feeling really unhappy and upset about something that happened, and then holding onto those bad feelings for a long time. It's important to try to let go of bitterness and find ways to feel happy again. It's like when you drink a bitter medicine but then you eat something sweet afterward to make the bad taste go away. It's about finding ways to let go of those bad feelings and move on to happier ones. And that's what we want to help each other do. So, if you ever feel bitterness, it's okay to talk about it and find ways to feel better.
