Can You Forgive Someone Without Ever Talking To Them Again?

Can you forgive on your own instead of with that person? How do you forgive?

Most of the forgiveness I’ve had to do throughout my life wasn’t because the other person had done anything in particular to request the forgiveness. I think it has a lot to do with recognizing that we’re all human and have made mistakes or done things were not proud of when we were in pain/had been through trauma..
Once I made my peace with that I just kind of got on with my life, but to be clear, forgiving those people didn’t mean that I kept associating with them. I washed my hands of it, “not my circus, not my monkeys “
