We all make mistakes knowingly or unknowingly. But a few mistakes that I made in the past still haunt me. How do I overcome those?

    Shit happens, I’ve made plenty of mistakes and still do make lots of mistakes and I will keep making lots of mistakes. The goal is to learn from them so as to not repeat them, instead of letting them haunt you for eternity…

      I keep telling myself and reminding others of that but still don’t believe it myself.

      Though I feel like that’s mostly just being concerned about mistakes I’ve made with others that they likely don’t even remember.

        Then you should just accept them, there is no going back, whatever happened, happened, and you grew as a person as a result of said mistakes. As I said, no use to overthink it…

          Sure there’s no use in it, but it’s not just a switch everyone can turn off.

          It takes practice, and the best way to practice that I’ve found is regular mindfulness meditation.

          It’s more about whether I should go back and try to make an amends or if that would just come off as weird
