I would do my best to try to openly apologise and ask for forgiveness. Then acknowledge their right tot be mad but slowly try to rebuild trust.

If you have tracked how you have changed as person since that incident has happened and you truly believed you changed as a person since the event has happened. If you have changed as a person and the other person knows your condolences have been said it should be ok to forgive yourself.

Apologies to the person, learn from the past, and move forward. Remember that situation as you gain new experiences. It will get easier with time.

Sometimes it is difficult to have compassion towards others & this leads us to judge them harshly. This can hurt someone very much. But just like having compassion for others, we should also have compassion towards ourselves. We may have hurt others for whatever reason we did, but we shouldn't hurt ourselves because of it.

You can make amends with that person, you can try and fix it with that specific person. We can't fix all of our problems with everyone 100% of the time but we can try too, and that is what matters. Effort, If you can say to yourself "I tried to make amends with this person, I tried to fix what I did to that person" then that's all you can do, you tried and If you managed to do so then that's amazing and you should be proud of yourself for it

By realization and time. Allow time to let you realize that it is inevitable to cause harm to someone of any form, regardless of your kindness. It's in the human nature, embrace it and accept it. But above all, if you remorse, you may forgive yourself then.

Have you asked them for forgiveness? If you can, perhaps you should try, if not, then understand that sometimes, these things happen. You're only human and you're allowed to make mistakes.

If you feel badly about hurting someone, apologize to them. And if they have something to say back, allow it and allow their anger if they have any. This should help. Allow your own feelings of guilt and/or shame. Feel those feelings if they surface. Also journaling is a great tool. Write to the other person you hurt in there, note all your feelings. This should help you move on and forgive yourself.

I remind myself that we are all human. I have been hurt, and I have hurt others, and I will be hurt again, and I will hurt again. Choosing to learn and move on, instead of dwelling on the past, matters. Learn from the past, but live in the present, and teach so you make a better future.

Try not to think about it. But before you do that, ask yourself why you did it. Or what caused it. And then seek for forgiveness and also ask that person to forgive you.
