How to forgive yourself for hurting someone?

Make sure that person already forgive you! You don't have to feel guilty all the time. Sometimes it's not always your fault. It might be an accident. Not on purpose.

We all make mistakes in life, it is important however, to remember that we learn from these mistakes and move forward, taking the lesson with us so as not to hurt someone in the same manner.

The first step for me would be reconciling. If I did something wrong to someone in public then i should publicly apologize. Apologizing let’s the person know you feel bad and it helps when another person forgives you. When they don’t forgive you, then you need to think that you tried everything and there’s nothing else to do but let it go.

Accept that there is always a tendency for you to hurt other people because you are not perfect. We are all works in progress. Learn the lesson and let go.

Acknowledge the mistake and the pain that you caused. Remember that as cliche as it sounds, everyone really does hurt someone at some point in their lives. We're all human and we'll have faults. Apologize to the person you've hurt, admit to yourself the pain that was caused instead of denying it, and move forward knowing that it's a lesson that you can learn from.

Try apologizing and thinking about what you did wrong. Or just learn from your mistake and try not to hurt then again. Not learning from a mistake is way worse than hurting someone.

I know how hard this can be. Forgiving someone is easier than forgiving yourself. I've been there, i used to blame myself for every choice i ever made and made myself believe that i deserve this pain. but at the end of the day, you still have to move forward and be there for people, the past can't be changed no matter how hard you want them to. it takes time, you just have to move forward, and know you are a human too, human make mistakes and they can also fix them :)

It is hard to forgive yourself but by acknowledging this fact and forgiving you will understand that it is something you will try no to do to another human being. And the fact that you are struggling to forgive yourself means that you care and fell sorry.

I feel personally that when I've hurt someone, the first thing that needs to happen is the seeking and granting of forgiveness from the person whom you have wronged because that which leads up to that moment is a lot of acknowledgment and self-reflection about that which I've done wrong. And that is necessary for me at least to finally forgive myself. I have to acknowledge what I've done wrong as well as acknowledge that that which I've done has hurt somebody and just learn from it.

The best thing you can do to forgive yourself after hurting someone is to think about all the things you have done which wouldn’t hurt this person and why you choose to hurt instead.
