So has any one ever felt like second hand embarrassment from their actions as a kid? I feel like I wasn’t a horrible person, just made stupid mistakes growing up and for that I feel like I’ve let that dictate who I am today and I don’t like that. Pt1

Pt 2, I’ve changed a lot since I was a kid. But yet I still like feel guilt for my actions as a kid or even in highschool. I wasn’t horrible or judgmental but I was definitely ugly sometimes and made poor decisions. I don’t know. I want to continue growing and blooming but it’s hard to when I feel like others might see me as the same problematic person

i was that person that grew up thinking being a bitch was cool, and as much as i regret that and am embarrassed by that, im glad that i went through that phase when i was younger so that now i can understand how lame and embarrassing that was and like actively work to not be like that anymore

at the end of the day, you can’t go back and change the past. you were also still a child, so your decision making skills weren’t fully there yet. as long as you realize those actions were wrong and you don’t repeat them, you don’t really have a reason to beat yourself up over it
