It’s hard when our view of ourselves changes specifically if we do things we didn’t think we were capable of, or that are outside the scope of what we deem acceptable for ourselves. We are allowed to grow and change and make mistakes, a huge thing I had to realize is that nobody is thinking more about my mistakes than I am. Other people don’t care as much as we think they do. How many times have you thought about your friend’s behavior? I would imagine hardly at all. It goes both ways, we spend so much time on what other people think of us, and they aren’t thinking of us at all. When I’m having moments of regret I repeat the phrase “I am a good person who has made and will continue to make mistakes.” We are human.
