Make sure you apologise to them and then change your behaviour so you don't repeat it and understand what you did was wrong but that you're still learning and making an active effort to change. Everyone deserves second chances.

You don't need to make peace with that someone, You need to make peace with yourself. You need closure, and it's easier to establish closure if you turn the experience into a lesson. Sometime you don't get apologize after you've done something wrong, so make sure when you get the chance you take it. You are now in the unique position to appreciate every opportunity to apologize. That's a lesson you can feel good about, and it's a lesson few people will have learned as well as you. And you can still hold out hope that down the road the opportunity may present itself.

Consider it like this ; when someone hurts you and they apologise, you forgive them no matter hiw bad they've done to you because they've realise that what they've done is wrong ; you knew that whatever you did is awful everybody makes mistakes, now you should ask forgiveness from yourself, and you should be kind to yourself because you've come along way and there's no way what you have done could've been avoided.

If i have hurted someone, the first thing is to realise the mistake and when you realise the same, its good to accept it and asking for an appology for the same and it will really feel much better after doing the same. :)

Understand the motive behind what you did. Was there any other thing you could do at that time? Maybe,you did that because there was no other option or maybe because it was for the better. If you've this question in mind,then that means you've hurt yourself too by hurting that person,give yourself some time! Realise that its a hard thing and now that you've made up your mind, you will try to forgive yourself,slowly,step by step. Take care❤

You've hurt someone in the past and you have difficulty in forgiving yourself yet, the fact remains that you cannot really control what has already happened and you will have to move on eventually. You will have to realise that, if the person has forgiven you, you deserve to forgive yourself as well

Whenever I feel deeply bothered every time I hurt someone, I do these three steps. First, I try to remember what happened. Trying to recall the event makes me reconstruct how I should have acted to avoid hurting somebody. Second, I pray to God to give me the strength to do the last step. The final step is talking and apologizing to the person I have hurt. It takes courage and humility to do so, but it sure is very effective and helpful.

When we hurt someone intentionally or otherwise its normal and healthy to feel guilty. Forgiving yourself is important. You are only a human being and you made a mistake. Its not the end of life. Think about it. If someone else hurt you the way hurt the other and they were genuinely sorry then would you forgive them? If yes then you should forgive yourself too. We human beings are usually far more kinder with others than we are with our ownself. Learn to be kind to yourself.

Starts with openly admiring your hurt to another. Once you have forgiven yourself you must then ask the person you hurt to forgive you. Forgiveness is a powerful tool. You are able to release that weight that has been following you for sometime. You will find you are able to breath. Now just because you ask for forgiveness doesn't mean you will be forgiven. You have to be prepared for someone saying they don't forgive you. It may take them sometime or they may never fully forgive you. Understand that's their right. You can't force forgiveness. You have to be ready for that side of forgiveness. But as long as you have forgiven yourself and made the right decision to make your actions and choice right...then you are forgiven.
