I was a bully . The past keeps haunting me even though I apologized. What should I do?

You need to learn to forgive and forget the person you once were. You obviously feel bad as you've said sorry and want to change. Not everyones perfect and sometimes we do things we regret later on. You just have to learn to live through it and realise that your not perfect.

If you have asked frogiveness from them for what you did, the next thing is to ask forgiveness from yourself. If you are truly sorry for what you did, then over time you will be able to let it go.

Not sure that you can prevent the past from haunting you. Just like you can't alter the past itself, because what has been done has been done and can not be undone. We often, at one point or another, want to go back and redo things. But we can't and it is better to attempt to try and move forward into the future, rather than stay stuck and overthink the past. You have apologized, right? By doing that, you show true remorse and also show that you have matured from it. As long as you have learned from your mistake, and do not repeat it - Then, that's the only thing that you can do. The feelings of guilt will live with you, regardless of how much you try to forget about them. Just be strong enough to endure them, and look past them! Hope this helps.

Perhaps you could try to reconnect with the person or people you bullied in some way. Have a serious conversation about things, and perhaps even do something small, like sending them some flowers.

You have noticed how bad bullying is,you do regret your behaviour and apologized which you should be proud of yourself because you have taken the right step. Now you have to learn how to forgive yourself and show to everyone that you are completely a new loving,caring,and compassionate soul. You are not the same person as a bully you used to be. Past is past,you can't change it,what you can do is learn from it and make the future better.

have you talked to someone about it? try and remember that what happened in the past is done and over with. dont stress it. you have apologized and thats amazing. most people dont even do that! keep your head up!

you apologised, which is more than atone can ask. you can't change the past and you shouldn't feel guilty, we all bully in one way or another. you are a good person, your past can't define you.

That is a hard situation, I'm very sorry you've found yourself in it. Sometimes our past grips us like a vice and wont let go for anything. The thing is, we've all done things in the past that we're less than proud of. When I was younger I acted very stupid and did things that I'm still trying to work past. The fact is, you're trying to be a better person now, and that is wonderful. You can't undo the past, but you can be a better you and make the future great! Good luck! I believe in you!

I'm glad you apologized, but I regret to inform you that that is not enough. You need to be super nice to this kid that you bullied. I was bullied and I would never wish that kind of pain on anyone else. Offer to help and be kind to the person whenever time permits, and if time does not permit go out of your way. If you do this, hopefully all will be well again.

First, be proud of yourself for changing. It's not easy to admit that you bullied someone or to stop once you start. And it takes a lot of courage to try to make up for past bullying behavior.

While you've apologized and were likely forgiven, it would appear that you haven't been forgiven by the most important person: yourself. If you start thinking of who you were before, instead of hating it, look at it as progress. "Wow, I used to respond negatively to this, but now I'm being a better person working to make others feel good!" Use it to show yourself just how far you've come.

You have grown from your bully days and acknowledge the pain you've once inflicted. Recognizing and not repeating, along with stopping current bullies from inflicting the same pain, is enough to not be haunted and know you are living a great, helpful life

Many people do not realize that people that bully are actually hurting as well and also need guidance. It was wonderful of you to apologize. Can you forgive yourself now? This is important. Maybe reflect about the reasons you felt like bullying in the first place and talk with a listener or someone else. When I work with bullying situations, I believe that the bullier and the person that has been bullied both deserve to be heard. Forgive yourself, reflect on why, and talk with someone. Thank you for saying you are sorry. You are so brave and I am just really proud of you. Be proud of yourself and now stand up for others. Great job. Feel free to talk with any listener.

Take a deep breath. The fact that you feel guilty about the situation says a lot. Take the opportunity to move on from the past and focus on the present you.

Don't become a bully ever again. Prevent it from happening again. Make peace with the person/people you've bullied. You also have to make peace with yourself. People make stupid decisions, and we are all human. We've all made mistakes. Try and accept that.

Forgive yourself and strive to be a better person in the future. Understand why you acted the way you did.

Learn to forgive yourself, We all make mistakes but it's about how we grow and learn from them that is important.

Forgive yourself, you have shown remorse for the rhings you have said or done don't ruin your future by living in the past. You're a different person now. Love yourself and others will follow. Self love is the key to a happy future

if it's other people that keep bringing it up- just prove them you have changed. and before you can really change you need to let it go yourself

Sounds like you need to learn how to forgive yourself for what you have done and let it go that way.
