I think there are 2 major possibilities in those situations.
1 is we are willfully choosing unforgiveness and bitterness.
2 is that when a significant enough situation happens, the brain stores it in the incorrect spot. This is what leads to trauma wounds, PTSD, and such. When something triggers a subconscious memory of the event, the body will respond as if it is happening again in the current moment. It isn’t a controllable response, but can be healed with lots of hard work- usually with a therapist.

Why is it easier to remember the wrong and keep it closer to our chest and hug it or in our pocket to pull it out at another time to look at it again and re-live the hurt and unhappiness. Thank you for your insight and painting with words the joy we can have with the Creator if we just believe and let go of our doubts that He can take care of us. It is an ongoing battle but your putting into words that we are not alone is encouraging.
