How to forgive yourself for cheating or lying?

Acknowledge you did it, if you feel badly for it then you're already halfway there. Figure out why you did it and resolve whatever that cause was. Then, most importantly, remember that what you do is not who you are. You alone choose your actions and behavior. Stop letting the thoughts live your life. I hope you find peace

Forgiving yourself is an important step. Think about it as another life experience, as long as you learn from it, you're just growing as a person. Learn to forgive yourself by helping others and along the way you will learn that you can choose to be a good person or not.

Just tell your self that it already happend and promise yourself you’d never do it again , then apologize to the person you laid or cheated on

You have to realize that no one is perfect....people make mistakes including you and myself. While cheating or lying isn't right, it's not something to beat yourself up about. Don't dwell on the past, apologize to who you need to and move on❤you're not the first person that has ever lied or cheated lol❤

You need to remember that we are all humans and humans have flaws. It is not something that we see as a myth, it is actually a reality. Although we aim for perfection, some period of time may let our state of mind wonder unconsciously. Therefore, it is possible for us to put blame on ourselves due to our mistakes. To that, would you think that it is worth it to keep on thinking about the past or would it be more valuable if you are aware of the mistakes that you have done but learning from them and try to look towards the present and future rather than dwell in the past?

Tell yourself it was all in the past, everyone deserves a second chance and if your willing to grow as a person then that there is a sign of a great person and if you have anyone you have lied to or cheated on I think you should say sorry to really leave that part of you in the past, I have been in your shoes and I have learnt people change and I have learnt to forgive myself by apologising to the people I have hurt and then I told myself, everyone deserves a second chance and I haven't told lies since I forgave myself and moved on

When we commit a mistake, the first thing we need is realization of our mistake. Once we realize we have done something wrong and what that mistake is, next thing is to correct it. Make a conscious decision to never lie and cheat again. To always be truthful. Now go and confess your mistake to whoever you have cheated, lied to. Apologize and ask them for forgiveness. If they do fine. If they don't,accept their decision and respect it. If they have incurred some loss due to you lying, try to fix it if you can. But not if it brings any more harm to that person. Or if they disagree. Now you forgive yourself and move on. But not without a lesson learnt

Start by working through what lead you to do that in the first place. Once you can understand your process you can begin to learn from. I found it important to set myself positive goals for the future and new standards of what was acceptable. There is healing in preparing for your future behaviour. For this to work, I need to confront the impact I had on the other person too. That combined with the impact on myself was enough to know I didn't want to repeat what I had done as it was too late to change it. Lead with an honest heart in future and you'll start to build yourself in your own head again.

Humans are known for making rash decisions and mistakes, and this can be seen through many instances throughout the course of human history. Be it from grasping to a sense of security at a moment of vulnerability or being seduced by an ulterior motive. What we can do as human beings is only give back as much as we've taken from trust and honesty. Whatever mistake we make, we take a proactive step in reflecting upon our mistakes and proving to society that we are no longer our past self. Lying and Cheating is no different, so first one must evaluate what constitutes as "giving back". A common first step is admitting your mistake without any cutbacks; no excuses. Afterwards, assess the proper compensation for it, in the meanwhile bettering your ideals and principles in order to avoid making this mistake in the future. Once this is done, you have logically given the world your best, and regardless of whether they are open to forgiving you, you will forgive yourself. QUOTEDDD

People aren't perfect, and that's okay. Some people will forgive you, which is wonderful, and some people won't, which is unfortunate. However, you can be the biggest person though by learning from it, forgiving yourself, and moving on. Always easier said than done though! Personal growth and self-validation matter more than what others think. People make mistakes, but no one gets anywhere by being judgemental. Keep moving forward and growing, and things will get better. The guilt will ease up over time. You might need to let go of people or things or places that make it harder for your to move on and grow. Not forgiving yourself only holds yourself back.
