How to overcome regret
I’m turning 20 soon and I’ve been reflecting on my life
.
I was honestly very selfish and took my family for granted. I’ve been trying to move forward and forgive myself for the way I acted, but the guilt still eats me alive. My family still reaches out to me and shows me love, which somehow makes me feel even more guilty because I still can’t believe the way I used to treat them. I was just cold and never appreciated anything they did for me.
I know I can’t change the past, but I’m struggling to stop dwelling on it. I feel ashamed of the person I was back then, and sometimes the guilt feels overwhelming. I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced something similar and, if so, how did you learn to move on? What did you do to make peace with your past and become a better person?
