How to forgive yourself for hurting someone?

Think back to a time, when someone you loved hurt you. Did you forgive them? Chances are, you did. So when you hurt someone else, why is it that we can't find the heart to forgive ourselves. We are our own words critics at times and it is hard to accept the actions we made that hurt another individual. We are human, we all make mistakes; however, this does not define who we are and what we are yet to be! Our mistakes can be a learning process, a painful one at times but nonetheless a learning experience. This does not make us a bad person. In order to forgive yourself you have to be able to accept your good and bad side and acknowledge that it takes time overall to not make mistakes. Forgiving yourself is far more challenging than forgiving someone else because you must live with yourself and your thoughts 24/7, 365. When you are around new people or similar situations, think back to what you could do better and do it. Life is about finding yourself and accepting who you are. Love yourself unapologetically and strive for the better side of you to make an impact.

Talk to them, ask for their forgiveness. They may be understanding about the whole situation, and you can move on. Looking back on the event now that it has happened is a great way to learn from an experience. Know that you can not change the past and what has been done. In situations like this, I have learned quite a bit from reflecting on the incident, and was able to use that in future problems.

Everything happens for a reason. Think about that statement. You must forgive yourself because it happens.

Learn to accept that no decisions are stupid. They may suck but things are meant to happen in this way.

Well, I talk to the person about the experience and clear things up, and just talk to them in general.

You need to find closure. Look deep inside yourself. And look for what is bothering you the most. Try to apologize to te person you hurt. That might help.

Self acceptance is one of the most valuable things that you can do, and it goes hand in hand with accepting your mistakes so you can grow as a person!

As time passes we need to learn for forgive and forget do we can move on. Forgiving yourself is a long process but it starts from with in

Realize that you cannot change the past and your mistakes don't define you. Apoligize, and even if you cant make up for it, learn from what happened and try not to repeat it again

Thats a hard one, I have hurt alot of people that are very close to me in the wake of my self destruction. To me, its about being able to grow and move on. There is no good in crying over something you cant change if you have already had a reflection on it.
