Accept that what happened is in the past. If you are able to directly make amends to that person then think about doing so but only if you know the other person will appreciate it. Whatever it was you said or did, hold on to the feeling of what you did and work hard to ensure it doesn't happen again. Be your own best friend and give yourself a break. No one is perfect. Be there for a friend who needs you, heal yourself by helping others. I hope this helps.

It's a grunt feel happens when you realise your mistake and you try to get forgiveness from the one you hurt, but it should be sought the other by us.

Try writing how you feel down in a journal/ story/ poetry. Writing can help when you are going through forgiving yourself.

It's so easier to forgive others than forgive ourselves isn't it ? What I have found however is that asking forgiveness to the person you have hurted is a good first step

In order to forgive yourself, you must first seek the forgiveness of that person. Ask for forgiveness and learn to humble yourself and have that experience as a lesson to learn from and not become out of spite or regret. By doing this you are forgiving yourself, you are learning to put the other person's shoes and look at it from their point of view. However long it takes for this lesson to happen, keep forgiving yourself for acting and feeling a certain way and learn from your mistakes.

Think of a bathtub that is filled with both forgiveness and trust. In our flawed human way, we pull the plug and everything drains out. If you seek out forgiveness and to restore the relationship with the person you hurt, you can earn about half a bathtub back if they forgive you. However, you can only build trust one drop at a time and it can be a slow procedure. In the case that the person won't forgive you, don't give them the power to feel badly about yourself. We are all human and we all make mistakes. It is said that we are to love others as ourselves. Love yourself, offer yourself forgiveness for not meeting your expectations in this relationship and use it to learn from. You are worth forgiving!

Forgiveness always start within oneself. Forgive yourself for the things you have done and accept that what happened cannot be undone. There's always another chance to make up to whatever you did, don't be too hard on yourself.

you can forgive yourself for hurting someone by realizing that everyone makes some mistakes in their life. And that it's okay. Just tell yourself that as long as you try your very best to be the best and kindest as possible, it's going to be okay. Apologizing to the person you hurt and talking it out to them can also help. Have a good day.

It might take some time but I'm sure you didn't set out to intentionally hurt the person. Everybody makes mistakes and unfortunately you end up hurting people just like people may end up hurting you too. Try not to be too hard on yourself.

Come to your senses. Think about what exactly you think you did wrong, and just try to make up for it by being there for that person and just showing compassion will help you from feeling guilty
