Of course Forgiveness isn’t for them, it’s for you Interaction isn’t a necessary part of the equation

Yes, and yes. It's called boundaries that you set for yourself.
To forgive, at it's core, is to cancel a debt. Forgiveness is a skill that we develop. It is both the destination and the journey. If you choose to forgive, you will make that choice over and over again as you walk the road toward forgiveness.
Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.
Those are solid words there.

This x1000
You are not responsible to fix someone with the emotional/anger control and maturity of an 8 year old...whatever they did, the only thing you have any control over is how you react...you cant do anything to affect their part, or make them "see".
Sometimes they do you a favor by giving you a reason to stop having to deal with their issues and crazy...I have found this to be true in a very recent situation.
Wish them well, forgive them, and don't look back.

Yes absolutely. Holding grudges is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die.
Let it go and move on

I have forgiven my dad for all the shite he put us through for the first 30 years of my life. I tried for 12 years to have a relationship with him after I moved out at 18. It failed. He just has to have things his way or have his say. I'm 44 now, haven't talked to him in 10 years. Yes is the answer to your question, but I'd just have something else to forgive him for if I were to try to have a relationship with him.

If someone wrongs me, I write them off and they’re dead to me. No need to worry about forgiveness if I’m not interacting with them anymore.

Yes, did this with my ex wife.

I forgive the meteorologist for predicting rain yesterday that never happened and I plan to never have interaction with him or her ever.
He just wanted the golf course to himself.

Forgiveness is internal so yes.

Define forgiveness. Is it not seeking revenge or just not harboring ill will?

My situation may be different, but I had a good friend of mine who sort of out of the blue decided he didn't want to be as close of a friend (due to nothing that I truly know of that I did and also at one point he said it had nothing to do with me), but I realized something was amiss when I was the only one who initiated conversations or plans for a while, but the truth is some people in life aren't meant to be friends forever, and that was a hard lesson for me because I really enjoyed this person's company. But it takes two to make any relationship last, and when one person moves on, in a way it's over. We kept up pretty regularly and had good times, but at some point, things felt different and he never said why or if anything changed in his personal life.
At one point later I had a dead car battery, and I asked my friend in reference above if he was able to help me jump it, and he never followed up. There was a time he had a similar problem and I promptly went there to help, but I was pretty disappointed that the same willingness wasn't there for me, and I'm not someone who is always asking for help or in crisis.

Absolutely, in fact, that's the only play for dealing with certain types of people (like narcissists).
Eventually, some people show you that there's no place for them in your life, yet to hold a grudge against them hurts no one but yourself.

The problem is it gives the test first and then the lesson.

Yes. Forgiveness takes one.
Reconciliation, however takes two.
I highly recommend Tim Keller’s last book on forgiveness.

Yes. I’m doing it now. I’ve waited on an apology that would never come. It never will. Ironically, I did apologize just to make amends but it was never returned…and I was wronged in a very personal way. I’ve learned over recent years that the relationship was toxic. Maybe not an evil person but about as dark as you can get. The word “forgive” is heavy and implies a reconciliation. Just don’t harbor ill feelings towards them and let go. Pray for them.
