I'm 23yo, I've got a happy life with lots of friends, I'm successful in my studies and in my professional life, but I can't stop thinking about my teenage years, when I was friendless and socially inept. I think about it a lot and cringe when I think of all the mistakes I made and how few people liked me. A while ago, 2 of my old classmates looked me up and started talking shit about me to the people I currently hang out with. How do I stop feeling like a failure at life because of my unhappy past even though I'm now happy?

The fact that you look back and can cringe means that you have grown as a person and can recognise things which you shouldn't have done and won't do again.
The people who looked you up have no life if they spend their time trying to ruin yours. Your friends shouldn't care. Everyone changes and develops, and any adult knows that.
Just live your life OP. You've made a good one, enjoy. And when you do look back on the past, smile because of how far you've come :)

Stop thinking about it. If you want to stop getting fat you eat less right. It's the same with thoughts. Also do meditation practices .

This really won't sound to positive at first
, but don't worry about it. It's in the past and beyond your control, so worrying about it is a waste of your effort. Like that other anon said, you've grown since then. Despite the cringe they're still learning experiences and you came away better off. Fuck that other guy. If your friends bring it up at all, just play it off somehow
