Stagnation sets in when one is bitter for a long period of time. Anxiety cages from all corners. Personal growth is hit badly. Nothing seems to be working in a world full of bitterness. Negative thoughts keep clouding one’s mindset. Friends distance themselves. An environment of hatred and anger finds roots. The person feels unhappy, dejected, lacks confidence, and there is no motivation to make things happen. Bitterness attracts a cycle of self-doubt. Self-pity revolves round the clock. 

Playing the victim card glorifies attention. Excuses and blame games become nagging habits. Irritability peaks with severe consequences. Bad behaviour increases day by day without any apologies. Everything is similar to hell. Positivity is at bay. Decisions are rash. Problems double and there are no efforts made for finding solutions. One feels stuck in a whirlpool. Threats to harm oneself are normal things in such a scenario. Living on the edge gives a high to irascible souls. 

Popularity if any dips. Healing seems to be a distant dream then. Wounds and scars that are internal and on the surface are embarrassing. Gloom and revenge occupy thoughts. Darkness is the new light. Bitter individuals prefer hostile environments. Rage loses control. There is no sense of direction. Envy burns a person from within. Happiness of others is loathed and jealousy grows each passing minute. Misery colors the canvass of life then. Perpetual grumpiness due to ill health worsen situations. 

Chronic stress aids in lethargy and there is no focus for anything in life. Relationships suffer. Suffering and emotional burden increase because of dissatisfaction. A grim past stops bitter individuals from forging ahead. A deep-seated ill will makes inroads. Being resentful all the time can help change the narrative of injustice sometimes. People who hold grudges bond well and support each other in scheming the downfall of others. Here friends are not foes as like-mindedness brings solidarity. 

Maturity can transform things. Facing it head on can usher breakthroughs. Accepting it makes it easier. Good thoughts and better handling of bitter phases may just put things in our favor. Healing begins when we give it our heart and soul. It is not a crime to be bitter but when it affects our overall approach, personality, goals and people who matter then it’s nothing but mayhem. It is not a herculean task to chuck bitterness and be happy again. The zeal and determination to turn it around is the key.
