If you don’t present your gripes to the responsible party, you cannot humanly bury those complaints—it’s just not possible to “forget” about something that has hurt or stung you.
Anthony is mistaken, I have “forgotten” plenty of things that have hurt or stung me. While I don’t discourage healthy assertive communication, sometimes it is even wise to forget and bury those complaints. It is not always appropriate to present gripes to the responsible party and quite often there is a more effective way to go about exacting the desired changes.
As with most things human, it is necessary to get the balance right between honesty and practicality.
