How does one go about forgiving yourself?

I've been wondering that myself. I'm thinking a good place to start might be apologizing to the people you may have hurt; forgiving yourself might be easier if you've got the support of others who've already forgiven you.

Though unfortunately that's a bit tough for me, since of the two people I probably hurt the most, one isn't actually here, and the other who was, I can't remember what I actually might have done to her due to a complicated set of magical circumstances.

And if you don't feel you're in the right to ask for their forgiveness?

Then that probably means you need it that much more.

It can be rough, talking to people about stuff like that. But it's important to do it if you can. Otherwise you sit around going over worst case scenarios in your head and driving yourself nuts worrying about it. If you just go on and do it, at least you'll know for sure what they think, one way or another.

And if they're your friends? They'll probably at least be willing to hear you out. The fact that you're trying to fix things shows that you care about them, and are willing to put in the effort to make things up to them if you can.
