How to forgive yourself for cheating or lying?

always keep in mind that you can't dwell on the past because you can't go back and change anything so just learn from your past and realize that you're now wiser and smarter towards that problem!

first step is realization and accepting. when we realize that we cheated or lied and that it was a very wrong deed, a sin on our part then automatically regret will take over. and it is in our hands to guide this regret from the negative way to the positive path. we cannot punish ourselves physically, its wrong and we got no right. but we can punish us to do 10 things right for 1 lie. begin with making a list of things you want to do for other's good and go on accomplishing them. and when the list is fulfilled then we will realize that all this while we have been forgiving ourselves. the wrongdoer in us has finally done good. the liar in us has finally faced the truth. Last but not the least, never cease to love yourself, not for the wrong tasks but for all the good we are capable to do.

Learn from it. Don't make that mistake again. Biggest thing to fixing your mistake is to not repeat or indulge in anything that can lead to such mistakes.

Everyone does it, there is no way you can turn back time, why waste time wishing you could? You need to look forward to the future, not waste your time on the past.

My honest answer is that it lies within yourself 100%. You can not look for the validation to come from anyone but yourself. We all make mistakes in life, and we are all humans just learning how to be good people! As long as you can learn from the experience, there really is no reason why you can't be willing to forgive yourself. If you can forgive others for their shortcomings, try practicing that same forgiveness within yourself and forgive yourself and let go of the mistakes you made.

You can forgive yourself from cheating or lying by understanding why you did it in the first place and see if it was a reasonable decision to do than you can choose to forgive yourself or not to.

make up your mind that you wont do that again. then focus on something else that makes you happy. youll feel better

It's sometimes tough to forgive yourself for something you've done wrong. Understanding that this negative decision is in the past and learning from the error is what encourages me to forgive myself. I also avoid defending any lie.

First, accept that you did it, that you were at fault and therefore some guilt is bound to be there. Also accept that you're a human and while you did make a mistake, it doesn't mean that you're inherently "bad" or evil. The best way to move on from a mistake is to accept it, try to understand why you did it (so that you don't repeat it again), make amends to people you might have hurt and then vow to do your best not to repeat it.

There's no way to forgive yourself for cheating, but cheating comes from 2 sides The person that you're in a relationship with is also a part of the problem unfortunately otherwise there would be no cheating
