How do you make peace with a mistake you made? (lemmy.world)

We all make mistakes knowingly or unknowingly. But a few mistakes that I made in the past still haunt me. How do I overcome those?

about a third of this comment section is incredibly unhelpful by repeating that "shit happens" when you clearly just said you know that. in my case, you talk it out with someone, and either of two things can happen. you find someone who'll help you with it, or someone who'll shit you with it. if the latter happens, repeat. if the latter happens many times over eventually you'll grow desensitized to it and the dread will kinda just disappeared. mind that things may work differently for everybody so maybe this will not work with you, but why not try it out.
