The One Thing She Finds Hardest to Forgive

Join the family: https://speakenglishwithtiffani.com/3... Some things she brushes off completely. One thing she doesn't — and her answer surprised me. In this English conversation, Michiyo from Japan explains the difference between feeling hurt, feeling disrespected, and feeling betrayed, and why forgiveness has almost nothing to do with the other person. Michiyo has been a student leader in the Speak English With Tiffani Academy for over four years. She loves to sing, she has one of the kindest hearts in our community, and she still calls herself shy. We talked about this month's academy topic — forgiveness — and specifically about the emotions that show up before you're ready to forgive. She also shared the exact thing she does with her younger sister after a disagreement, and I shared a rule I've had with a close friend for years. Tell me in the comments: which is hardest for YOU to forgive — being hurt, being disrespected, or being betrayed?
