Forgiveness means letting go of anger and resentment towards someone who wronged you. It doesn’t mean forgetting what happened or saying it was okay.
You can always forgive and never trust, or trust less. Or even forgive and never speak to the person that you forgave.So exactly like you did with your neighbours. Sounds perfectly healthy to me.

Assuming that definition why would one ever not "forgive"? What this advice in essence says is "be logical and do not let intense feelings drive your decisions".
There is a variant of this advice involving positive feelings such as "do not let the positive feelings you may have towards a charismatic sales person drive your purchase decisions / your positive feelings towards a charismatic politician drive your voting" or better still "do not let an intense infatuation cause the ruin your marriage (cheating) / ruin of your career (work place relationship) / ruin of your life (unwanted pregnancy / child)"...
Again what this advice in essence says is "be logical and do not let intense feelings (both good or bad) drive your decisions".
