Are you bitter? -- Recognizing it...

It is really not that complicated to recognize bitterness. Some of the characteristics of an extremely bitter person:
1. They show a lack of concern for others. A bitter person cares very little about anybody else.
3. They become very possessive with just a few friends, and rarely ever have any really close friends. They also have an unnatural fear of losing their friends.
4. They tend to avoid meeting new people.
5. They show little or no gratitude at all.
6. They will usually speak words of empty flattery or harsh criticism.
7. They hold grudges against people, often for a long time. They find it extremely difficult to forgive.
8. They often have a stubborn or sulking attitude.
9. They are usually unwilling to share or help anybody.
