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?

    No, that’s a healthy adaptation in normal civil society. In a more distrustful society, where crime is considered more standard, then it could potentially become disadvantageous, as it removes your main motive for attempting to punish people when you perceive they’ve wronged you. Without which they might wrong you again.
