How to forgive yourself for hurting someone?

The best way to forgive yourself is to learn from what you did. Sometimes we hurt others because we are hurting, hanging on to it will only make it worse.

It's hard to forgive yourself, but you cannot heal until you do so. It's a process, but honestly, everyone hurts at least someone, it's unavoidable, but how you work through that and better yourself as a person matters. Learn from the mistake and then it's a lot easier to forgive yourself because you've changed as a person.

We all make mistakes, it's part of being a human. Nothing is set in stone forever, there is still time to go back and apologise for any harm or hurt that you have caused. You owe it to yourself to seek forgiveness for any wrongs that you have done because that's when you can begin to heal yourself.

I am very critical of myself, and I often beat myself up over hurting someone else's feelings. The way to forgive yourself is by realizing that no one is perfect. Emotional pain is an unavoidable and natural part of life - and people can handle it. After you've apologized, you have to move on, and forgive yourself as any good friend of yours would. You're not perfect, and it's okay.

I would constantly think to myself, "Everyone has a flaw- nobody is perfect. I made a mistake, which means I'm human. I'm also a grown individual because I am able to see that I made a mistake. I need to apologize (if applicable) to the person I hurt, and, ultimately, forgive myself for making a mistake that I will try my hardest not to make again."

this can be very hard. especially if the other person doesnt forgive you. you can always tell yourself im sorry and that might help. you can also not make the same mistake again.

Know that you are growing too. Allow yourself to grow. If you didn’t get the message that the Universe is trying to send you, then you haven’t learned and grown from the experience. Making a mistake isn’t as bad as making the same mistake over and over again

It takes a lot of self reflection and a real will to change. It can be harder if the person you hurt has not forgiven you either but it isnt impossible.

People often forgive, but do not forget. Hind sight is always 20/20. It is always easy to beat yourself up over something when you get the benefit of looking back. Unless you intentionally hurt them, then holding on to the guilt of hurting someone will pull you down so you continue hurting someone. However, if it was intentional. You have to come to terms with how you hurt them. Seek their forgiveness if possible and try to set things right if you can. If you cannot, promise yourself you will not willing do it again to someone else.

The first and most important step in forgiving yourself is always to be honest with yourself. To realise what you did and why, without distorting it to either hurt yourself in your guilt or to try and blame someone else. Try to see yourself through a friend's eyes. Try to understand that if you don*t forgive yourself, learning from mistakes is difficult. You can't make amends, if you're still hung up on what you did. And making amends is very important. Don't bury that pain. Use it to grow. Once you've grown, it'll be easy to let go of the guilt and forgive yourself.
