      I'm Sorry
      For many years I carried a deep sense of guilt with me. Which has shifted again and again, as soon as I apologized for something to a person. I carried the guilt with me and tortured myself for many years. Until I realized that the only one I really had to apologize to, was myself. I have tortured myself, the most. So every day I apologize to myself for what I've done to myself. This is how I find my innocence; that I once lost, again. And by apologizing to myself, I release my feelings of guilt. And so I don't do anything to others either. Because I am at peace with myself and therefore with the world. Therefore, apologize to yourself if you feel guilty about yourself. Because you can't torture yourself and apologize to yourself at the same time. Tormenting inflicts sorrow. And apologizing takes away sorrow.
      I hope someone who needs this, stumbles upon this. It took me many years to realize this.a

And now the chance of getting back together is gone. He moved on. I have apologized and he forgave me but still I can't forgive myself yet. I pray to heal and learn form this. In Jesus name, I believe I will overcome it little by little. 🙏🏾

    9:59 " Forgiving yourself does not mean you think it was ok " I really need this because every time I tried and wanted to be a better person, guilt and shame attack my brain, possess my mind and body so I struggled A lot and broke down so too many times. There were always these thoughts telling me I don't deserve to know happiness ever again and honestly it led to " so why should I be alive? if unhappiness and punishment are going to be the only words I know. " For all the people I've hurt along my journey, I truly am sorry and know better now, I wish I could take all the pain I've caused you back, and I'm hoping I'll have a chance to apologize and make it up to you in person one day if we meet again.
    What I can do now is...
    - finding a way to heal myself in order to become a better version of me.
    - living my life carefully and trying my best not to hurt anyone.
    - be patient cause it takes time.
    and for those who are still struggling about your past, I just want you to know you are not alone although most of the times you might feel like that or worse.

      Please work on accepting it and forgiving yourself and now going forward just take the lesson. Remember you aren't who you used to be and at the time you did the best you could even if it meant bad coping mechanisms and staying in bad situations. Self sabotaging, pushing ppl away and picking the wrong ppl are all apart of bad coping mechanisms and familiar circumstances that once made sense. Perhaps you should look up inner child work/exercises.

      For many years I carried a deep sense of guilt with me. Which has shifted again and again, as soon as I apologized for something to a person. I carried the guilt with me and tortured myself for many years. Until I realized that the only one I really had to apologize to, was myself. I have tortured myself, the most. So every day I apologize to myself for what I've done to myself. This is how I find my innocence; that I once lost, again. And by apologizing to myself, I release my feelings of guilt. And so I don't do anything to others either. Because I am at peace with myself and therefore with the world. Therefore, apologize to yourself if you feel guilty about yourself. Because you can't torture yourself and apologize to yourself at the same time. Tormenting inflicts sorrow. And apologizing takes away sorrow.
      I hope someone who needs this, stumbles upon this. It took me many years to realize this.a

    I think sometimes guilt and shame can really become a way of life for some people, especially women. I love how you emphasize that seeking out and having a strong relationship with the Lord will help to free us of these destructive mindsets. It's so true. Condemnation comes directly from the enemy and keeps us trapped. Conviction comes from the Holy Spirit, and helps us to understand our wrong doings and turn away from them. It's so beautiful that we are told that our loving Father forgives And forgets our sins when we cling to Him 🌺

      This is so true, I was too kind and too naive and I let people step over my boundaries. I didn't stand up for myself enough. And I obviously cannot blame others for stepping over my boundaries if I allow them to and don't give them clear instructions. As I result I ended up being hurt and socially withdrawing. I ended up cutting ties with the people who became unhealthy and toxic for me and I have forgiven them but I seem to struggle with forgiving myself a lot. Because I did some inner reflection and realized I was the one who allowed all the mistreatment to happen. It's hard to accept but I am learning to remind myself that If I had known better, I would've done better. And know that I know better, I am not going to repeat those mistakes. I realized by no means I am perfect and hence I deserve to give myself room to make mistakes and learn from them. I tell myself that I had pure intentions and it all happened because i was simply naive and I needed to learn a lesson. And hence I deserve forgiveness. May God help us all to forgive ourselves and make room for mistakes, make room for growth and more importantly make room for self love and love for God🙏❤

As painful as it is the fact that you have reflected on your own actions and are possibly confronting a painful truth rather than turning away from reality as many people would choose to do, to shelter their own emotions and ego, shows that you are already in the process of healing and changing. Best wishes.

    @Yuppp328 3 роки тому +4

    Thank you for making a video on this topic and holding space. Since the start of quarantine, I’ve been constantly revisiting my past actions, ruminating and obsessing over mistakes I made - both beating myself up for how terrible I believe I am for making them, and constantly reliving those moments to see what I could do different. It’s caused me to be stuck in a rut, make myself believe I am not worthy of things, that I’m a sociopath, or that I’m inherently a bad person. It’s made me consider self-harm and I’ve distanced myself from those I care about the most.
    But I’ve came to realize (and your video highlights this) that the first part of growth is acknowledging those mistakes, owning them, and making a pledge to not commit them again. It can be hard to know those actions are apart of my past. Yet what is even more difficult to me, is knowing how my past actions may have caused distress or hurt to others. That’s something that won’t ever leave me, even after I’ve apologized (though maybe it’s for good reason).
    In addition, often times I viewed my mistakes in a vacuum; blaming myself for everything and anything that situation had to deal with. When in actuality, some of my actions were the result of the environment and society I grew up in, and some were completely out of my control. Of course, this doesn’t deny/or give a pass to my actions, but it is a way to explain why I made specific choices at a specific time.
    Again thank you so much for making this video. It’s really helped me. Ultimately, I agree with you tenfold; in order to hold ourselves accountable, to cleanse our past actions, to continue to love others wholeheartedly and spread love, we need to first begin by forgiving ourselves. Much love ❤️

      I'm Sorry
      For many years I carried a deep sense of guilt with me. Which has shifted again and again, as soon as I apologized for something to a person. I carried the guilt with me and tortured myself for many years. Until I realized that the only one I really had to apologize to, was myself. I have tortured myself, the most. So every day I apologize to myself for what I've done to myself. This is how I find my innocence; that I once lost, again. And by apologizing to myself, I release my feelings of guilt. And so I don't do anything to others either. Because I am at peace with myself and therefore with the world. Therefore, apologize to yourself if you feel guilty about yourself. Because you can't torture yourself and apologize to yourself at the same time. Tormenting inflicts sorrow. And apologizing takes away sorrow.
      I hope someone who needs this, stumbles upon this. It took me many years to realize this.b

    Thank you. Thank you very much. I thank you with all my heart, my soul is grateful to you… I needed to hear that. I’d been blaming myself for about 5 years for one horrible mistake that I’ve done. I wanted to be innocent and easy, simple again. But because of you I realized, that my does not define me. I’ve learned my lesson. I changed completely. I CAN be innocent and easy and simple. I know that I will never do the same thing again. Never in my life. And I am trying my best. Thank you with all my love from the very heart ❤️

    This video has helped me more than any other I've found. Thank you so much for sharing this. This was much needed. I've done very sick things. Things I won't say on here but I made things right with the person and their family. I received their forgiveness, I was finally able to forgive myself after SO much remorse, regret, guilt and shame. But most importantly, I received God's forgiveness. I've truly learned my lesson and I'm never doing those things again.

    I want to like this video a hundred times. It helped me accept that what I did was wrong but that I can let go and be different. Other sources just try minimize what you've done and simply excuse you for going against your values. They want you to skip the natural guilt that comes with doing something wrong. That's not right. Now I know you have to go through the process and it's okay. You can go through it with dignity and grace. Thank you so much.

    For many years, I carried deep feelings of guilt with me. Which have shifted again and again, as soon as I apologized to a person, for something. I carried the guilt with me and tortured myself, for many years. Until I realized that the one I really needed to apologize to was myself. I tortured myself the most. So I apologize to myself for what I did to myself. And the intention to apologize is everything. So I find my innocence, which I had once lost; again. And by apologizing to myself, I release my guilt. And thus I do no harm to others. Because I am at peace with myself and thereby with the world. Therefore, apologize to yourself if you carry feelings of guilt with you. Because you can't torture yourself and apologize to yourself at the same time. Tormenting inflicts suffering and apologizing takes away suffering. "Anyway" and "Yes" are the words that enable me to apologize to myself. Because I get impulses to get back into the hamster wheel of apologizing or torturing myself for certain things. But I say, "Yes, I'm apologizing to myself anyway." And I apologize to others when it's my free choice. And I use these two methods to do that. By either apologizing to people personally or apologizing to people within myself, if I don't want to make it personal. Because the honest intention is enough.

    This really helped me. Im a Delivery Driver and last week was all the black friday deal deliveries. Well, one day the system apparently malfunctioned and I ended up with a huge amount of packages that werent on my list. We are supposed to manually scan them in and deliver them, but instead, I left them at houses I had on my list. We are already worked hard and the company doesnt care enough to make sure important things like that work as intended. I was very angry, but i feel guilty because I work hard and Im a good and honest person. Im always friendly with people and I am grateful for having what I have in life. I truly feel guilty. Even though those people will receive replacements before christmas, I shouldnt act out of anger because it isnt their fault. I will try to keep a level head moving forward.

She’s all I want in life and I want to die because of how guilty I feel every second of every day.

    I behaved in a really silly way years ago in a brief dating situation. And I had forgotten about it for a while, but recently the crippling feelings of embarressment and regret have crept back up again because I moved back to the area and have had annoying reminders popping up (running into his ex wife and daughter, etc). I was in a bad place mentally at the time and I just can't even believe my actions.. so so embarressed. And he would've told all his coworkers etc. so him and lots of people think I'm a nutcase. I have to try not to care what people think.

    I feel pain all the time knowing I did this to them and they didnt deserve it….I get that things are not the same for me now becuase of it…and I have accepted that I cant be truly happy , but I didn’t realise I’d be this unhappy…I didn’t realise I’d feel absolutely no joy at all in anything ….but I do know it’s because I truly hurt a loved one with my words and inaction….
