If you say you forgive someone but then think less of them and more of yourself, you haven't truly forgiven them. The whole point of forgiveness is humility and compassion. I believe God knows what is in a person's heart and whether they are genuine in their forgiveness.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
