I Want to Leave the Past Behind

So Embarrassed

I feel like a lot of my teenage years were extremely embarrassing. i have so much shame and guilt over things i have done, people's opinions of me....i wasn't unpopular in high school but i wasn't super popular either. i just don't want to think about certain memories and feel absolutely terrible. if there was some way i could just forget about situations with certain people that would be great....

    Good luck with the forgetting part. I am one of those people who remembers too much, though I was pretty much an angel in high school. Didn't stop other people from making life crappy though. There are things I regret, and I think sometimes you need to remember those- if there's something that happened, do what you can to resolve it for yourself. Apologize to someone, even if they look at you like you're crazy. I recently found someone on Facebook that I've wondered over for 20 years. Felt really good to find out he is alive and well. I've been able to unravel stuff in my mind that's been plaguing me since I was 18. You can't just make yourself forget things if there is a reason you remember. Find out what that reason is, why it nags at you, and resolve the parts that you can. Good luck!
