Discussion Do you constantly remind yourself of past mistakes?

[Versailles]

Naturally we have all made mistakes, the difference is the way we handle it, often I remind myself of these events with a lot of frustration (even the name JusJudah has a meaning behind it, it represents many mistakes I have made in the past )

Who else can't help but remember their own mistakes?

My mind kindly likes to play my mistakes on repeat so I can relive the humiliation and the shame over and over. It puts a somewhat ironic spin on a famous quote:

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." – George Santayana, 1905.

 

[absoluteanimal1]

My mind also loves to play my mistakes on repeat. I've spent many hours agonizing over different decisions I've made in my life. It's exhausting.

 

[noname223]

I am often embarrassed about past incidents. Then I start self-loathing despite the fact I am the only one who remembers it. Still feel ashamed.

 

[bear_trapped]

i'm constantly reminded of mistakes i've made throughout my life. it's a constant hell my brain puts me through

 

[DeadMemes]

All. The. Time. It almost feels like physical pain when it gets bad, idk how to describe it. A sort of tightening in the stomach. This is why I'm reluctant to seek help because no amount of platitudes and therapy is gonna change the past, It'll stay with me for the rest of my life. The only variable seems to be how long that life will be.

 

[Hirokami]

Whether it be minor such as a social blunder or something more serious, my mind reacts with the same self-loathing to every mistake it forces me to remember. It's hell to suddenly remember how godawful I was, and it happens almost every day.

 

[Ashu]

Obsessively, every waking minute. I myself am hell.

 

[Feeding Pigeons]

I have intrusive recollections. Sometimes of terrible moments, sometimes minor things. I always have to take something to slow my mind down otherwise it can turn into a barrage.

 

[Wisdom3_1-9]

Nothing car erase my mistakes. I live with them everyday. Forgetting them isn't going to change my life for the better.

 

[Suicideisgreat]

Past events that are caused by an insecurity such as not being smart enough or having autism then yes. Especially school and growing up.

 

[Justsogone]

Every single day.
I Even regret every decision I make.
It pisses me off

 

[Ravel]

whenever I wake up or try to sleep I keep reminding myself of my past mistakes. That's one of the reasons I'm addicted to sleeping pills.

 

[xLosthopex]

Yes, one of the main reasons for wanting to ctb

 

[albino_elk]

maybe its possible to grow over those mistakes? i mean you can chose not to repeat them ,if if if possible..:v

 

[FuneralCry]

Living can be very painful as we are unable to forget the past and we have to live with our mistakes. It can be impossible to forget. Of course when we made mistakes, sometimes we were doing what we thought was for the best at the time and we did not know any better, but mistakes can still hurt us. However, everything is meaningless, things do not matter in the long term as life does not last forever. I try to not think of the past too much, I spend most of my time dreading the future.

Who else can't help but remember their own mistakes?

Yes, all day and constantly.
I suffer from intrusive thoughts that will not go away and can't be reasoned with, no matter how convincing others tell me to let it go cause I did the right thing.
My past pretty much ruined my future cause I can't stop dwelling on stuff.

 

[WoAiGou]

All day everyday lol. Probably about 10 or so significant events that I'll beat myself up for, and that's on top of the casual self deprecating monologue I have going on nonstop. It's a laugh.

 

[Arot]

My mistakes...
Yes, my mind keeps remembering those mistakes. People I hurted, missed opportunities. There are many things wrong with me and there are many things I regret doing... whenever I hear a kitten or a young cat meow I instantly remember the time when a bunch of kittens made their home in my garden and how I killed one of them by accient.

 

[anxious_depressive]

Yes.
Every day I remind myself of my unforgivable mistakes.

 

[StarryStarry]

Oh hell yeah! I could write a book on how not to live my life. It's like beating your head against the wall over and over again. Painful.

 

[Foresight]

No. I've learned to block it out. I also can't plan or work towards a future either. I just get by each moment in the present. I know the past is screaming in my subconscious though.

 

[markimobzzdeasui]

I am nothing but a mistake of my past and the pasts of my fucked up family members. My existence constantly reminds me of that

 

[.............]

I've been nothing but a mistake my whole life.

 

[solisoccasus]

I've always see myself as a failure because of my past tho i've been taught before to not dwell on the past. I can't help but think that there's nowhere to go but to fail.

 

[StarryStarry]

Every second of every day.

 

[Foresight]

Absolutely not.

I black that out. It's a complete black out in my mind.

edit: that's so funny. See I even blacked out that I've already replied to this thread. No past for me, no thanks.

 

[ikadasui]

Yeah most of the time actually and the list just keeps on growing

 

[Circles]

That and missed opportunities.
