How to forgive yourself for hurting someone?

Its taken me a long time to learn to do that. The first time that I remember forgiving myself I will admit,part of me felt guilt,like I was getting off too easy. But deep down not forgiving myself was hurting me, and I knew that hurting someone else and hurting myself was even worse. It's kinda like forgiving myself was step 1 in learning to treat myself better and as I treated myself better I was able to treat others better.

Forgiving yourself may be one of the hardest things to do, but what you can do is confront that person face to face and say sorry or tell them how you feel. By doing this, you'll know how that person feels and it may put you at ease.

I simply say, "its over, what I did can't be undone" but, I will sure to make up to that person, let him/her feel that it was my mistake and I don't want to do it again.

I can realize that people have sensitivity levels that I may not be aware of, and I'm human. I may unintentionally say something that could be harmful to another person, but if they openly show that they are hurt I will try and fix the situation to the best of my ability. But I've learned that you can never be too hard on yourself

Hello and welcome to seven cups! I just wanted to tell you that some things are inevitable... Nobody is perfect and it is impossible to be that way. You're only human, and we all make mistakes... So please forgive yourself because you deserve that forgiveness; the fact that you feel guilty about it proves this.

Apologize to the person you wronged , admit your fault , own up to your wrongs , recognize that you can do wrong because you’re human .

you should apologize to him and tell him how you feels, you have to promise yourself that you will not hurt people anymore then you will feel better

You can talk to a lister in the 7 cups programme. You need to try and figure out what you did and why you did it. You should give this person time but after a while talk to them about what you did wrong. And never make it sound like you're blaming them. You need to love yourself with whatever way you are. And you should always try and be happy with yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. And mistakes are the things that help us learn for the future. Maybe try and talk to people who care about you or the listeners in 7 cups about what you are feeling.

What's important when it comes to self-forgiveness is to be able to have reached the point of feeling guilty in the first place; so often we fail to understand the negative responses of others towards us as consequences of our own behaviour toward them in the past. In my experience, self-forgiveness has not come easy; I have found it good and well to offer an apology, but the process of making amends has been exactly that, a process, involving actions which are demonstrably different to those I have exhibited in the past. For me it has involved being able to bear shame and to weep openly and honestly; having a confidante has been important in this, as has been the willingness to surrender to a higher power.

Hurting people is a very harsh thing to do, but it is always can be fixed. You can forgive yourself and fix this by telling them that you're wrong and admitting your faults towards them. Of course, you'll have to ask their forgiveness after that and offer the will to fix things up for them. This will not only make you a better & honest person, but will also give you the opportunity to not to lose that person, in fact you might bring his/her friendship/relationship because you showed him/her that were responsible for your mistakes and this is the trait of a mature responsible person.
