The only person who can decide if YOU did the right thing would have you be YOU. No one make these decisions for you because your opinion is the only one that should matter.

We can never truly know what is the right or wrong thing. If you think it was the right thing then it doesn't matter what others think
Untill you know that you didn't hurt somebody and you are happy with what you have done,you are right!But actually in reality,everybody is right in their own perspective.

Your guts normally tell you if it was the right thing. GO with what you feel is right always. not everything have to be logical
How do you feel about your decision? If you feel content, you probably did the right thing in your own opinion. However, doing the right thing can mean different things to different people.
You can only know if you did the right thing when you look back and see the results. So you need to trust your feelings and assessment of the situation at hand.
well, you can't dwell on the past, if you did the right or wrong thing you'll know it over time; if you did the right thing then that's great! but if not then you have learned from that and gained wisdom!
If it feels right to you, then that's all that matters. You don't need to worry about if its right to others; just follow what you believe.
You have given thought to your decision and with the best information you have before you acted and take comfort in that.
This is all based on what your beliefs are. Remember, the end doesn’t always justify the means. If you feel you did the right thing but it didn’t have a great outcome, you still may have done the right thing. It’s all about what you feel. You are you and there’s no one who believes the same things as you.
You can base yourself from where you were to begin with to where you are now as a person after doing said task.
I know if I did the right thing when it helps the other person, even if it hurts me. It should feel right when you do it for them, and make them smile, helping their emotional and mental well-being. : )

You know you did the right thing when it was morally correct. If it had a positive impact on someone, chances are you did the right thing.

The right thing can mean a lot of things, the only to Truly know, is if you feel confident and comfortable about the decision that you made.

Personal that is up to you to find that out but I was told as a young person to flow your guilt and listen to the best thought

If it's either for yourself or someone else, you will know. Either as a feeling, or the person reassuring and thanking you for helping
How? When your heart feels lighter and you don't feel as bad as you always do. Or maybe you might get hurt or hurt someone along the line but at the end of the day, you yourself know it's for the best.

you just know you feel peace even if not as soon as you did it later you do its hard and you may regret doing it but you know
Your good emotions are the compass that let you know whether you are heading in the right direction. If you feel great after doing something, you did the right thing. Even if you feel uneasy but still something within tells you everything is okay, you did the right thing.

Only time will tell. You need to look at the big picture. How do you feel? How will you feel in a week? A month? A year?
You can tell by the way your heart feels. If you feel happy with your action, your mind can read it.
A weight will be lifted off of your shoulders, however, if you're hesitating and worrying and it's causing you suffering, then you may need to reconsider the decision you made. Hope that helps you.
There is no way to know if we made a good decision or bad decision until we watch how it turns out. hope all works out for you :)
Knowing if the decision we made was good or bad can be difficult. We don't always know at the moment. It takes time to find out. I think you'll know only in future if looking back you'll consider it as positive or no.

In all honestly, that is ultimately up to you. Think over it a bit. Consider what could have happened on the other side of actions/thoughts. Don't focus on the "negative" or "positive" result of the outcome. For example when a friend is upset, the best thing that you can do is try your best to help comfort them. It might have not made them feel extremely happy, but at least they know they have someone to fall back to if they ever need support or someone to listen to them.
If you are asking this question, you must care deeply about the situation in question as well as the people involved. whatever you did, was probably done with good intentions, but sometimes in life there is no ultimate right answer. Maybe there were unforeseen consequences, or maybe there was no "good" plausible outcome. We cannot know the future for certain, ever. Sometimes we have to accept that our choices can be opportunities to learn in life and grow as people.
I don't think there can ever be such thing as the right thing. Life is all about the grey areas, hardly any choice is black and white. If you feel like you've done the wrong thing, take it as life experience, talk to someone about it and if you feel like you've wronged someone, have an open honest discussion with them about it. You'll learn a lot more about yourself in the process too.
Your intuition.
Ask yourself that why are you doubting your choices.
If you did something right yiu can definitely feel that satisfaction and feeling of happiness deep inside your heart. Even if you're sad about the choice
