Recognize resentment as accumulated unacknowledged debts…

Recognize resentment as accumulated unacknowledged debts from repeated yes-when-you-mean-no decisions rather than as character weakness.

Applies loss aversion (Losses loom larger than equivalent gains in human…) and negativity bias (Negative events carry greater psychological weight…) to boundary violations. This principle reframes resentment as information about accumulated costs rather than as a moral failing.
