How long does it take to let go of the hurtful words someone said about you?

Do you forgive and forget?
Do you let it pass?
Do you act normal after a few days?
How do you do it?
How do you block the feeling of being hurt?

With a new year just days away, do you really just let it go?

Some of the most hurtful degrading words of my life happened right here. They had impact because it was from someone I was connected / close to. They stayed with me for a long while. Not that I was remembering them daily, but they would sometimes come back to my consciousness and I would feel 😓😡 all over again. It fades after a while and you rarely remember them.
