how do you stop worrying about the past and the dumb mistakes you made?
>tfw keep cringing at the dumb and autistc shit ive done
>ruins my day or at least the next few hours every time one of these thoughts come up

Realize you are the only person that cares about and remembers those moments.
>>39057507
Oh my god I thought I was the only one. I was a really cring, clingy kid, and at least once a day I have a flashback of me being a fuckwad anywhere from ages around 9-13. I usually feel better if I hit myself shortly after. >>39057611
I also try this and it offers only short term comfort.
>>39057507
guilty or embarrassing? You just have to accept and feel the embarrassment and it'll go away

>I usually feel better if I hit myself shortly after
so im not the only one.
>>39058245
guilty too but its stupid shit no "normal" person should feel guilty about
I've cringed about things I did as a kid. I usually help myself by thinking things like "I was just a kid", "kids do stupid things", "and nobody definitely remembers this random autist back in 1st grade"
For cringy things I've done more recently, it's a bit more hard. I try to learn from each mistake, and it's helped a lot. I cringe less viewing it as a learning experience. Introspection and understanding will help you move past it and be less likely to repeat it.
Also usually nobody cares about these things past school. Do you spend longer than a second thinking about people you see?
>>39057507
I have these random cringe memory flashbacks too, OP. After it happens I always think to myself "why? I'm 99.999% sure he/she/they haven't even thought about it once since then, why must I torture myself?"
>how do you stop worrying about the past and the dumb mistakes you made?
Easy. Remember that the people who were there when you done those dumb and autistic things all grew up to be successful normies, and haven't thought about you or your autistic episodes once since they happened. :^)

>>39058234
is there a name for this horrible thing
>>39057507
I don't feel bad about the dumb autistic shit i've made as a child because it's none of my fault.
>>39057507
You have to develop mental tools for dealing with these feelings. Mine is to immediately try and solve the problem. Wait I can't solve the problem because I don't have a time machine. I am no longer thinking of the past, because time machines don't exist.

I never remember my dreams but i know my past haunts me
>sleep in the same room as dad because were really poor right now
>wake up around 2PM as usual because i cant find a job no matter how hard i try
>dad says i shout strange things in my sleep
>he says most of it doesnt make sense but what he does hear is
>"NOOOO STOP!!"
>"THATS ENOUGH!"
>"AAAHHHHHH!!"
>"FUUUUCK!"
>"FUUUCK YOOOUU!!"
>apperently when he tries to wake me up in the morning i say really mean things to him
>"FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF IM SLEEPING FUCK OFF!!"
>im not even conscious but my subconscious curses him out
does any one know what this means?
I told my dad im sorry and it doesnt seem to upset him to much but i feel like im hurting him when i do that and it makes me really sad and i want it to stop.

Me too. Ive been so fucking cringy in my childhood.
blessing in disguise anon. Most people just go through life with an ever growing number of skeletons in the closet. You can't learn anything if you don't remember what you learned.
>>39057507
I also sometimes cringe at the stupid shit I made, but I have tons of experience if it comes to suppressing bad memories. You get better at forgetting as time passes. Also the fact that my future is far scarier than anything else overshadows any other concerns I might have.
>>39057611
>Realize you are the only person that cares about and remembers those moments.
Autists actually believe this?
Reminder that people always remember at least a few of your childhood fuck-ups. Why do you think people "that kid" threads on 4chan? Those things stick in the head. Always good for a chuckle.
>>39057611
>Think this
>Hey anon remember when you went durka durka and thought you were durka durka?
I'm getting the rope
You're only human, OP. You were born with the ability to learn from your past mistakes and make sure you do your best to not repeat them.
As for me I huff paint thinner so I can't remember anything.
>>39061860
>he thinks people talk about other kids in those thread
I get your point but damn you retarded
>>39062130
Honestly I think that posting about yourself in those threads is mainly a r9k meme
>>39057507
Tell us or people about those moments and you will forget them. That usually works.
Hey OP, look's like you might be "the mouse" same here man just try to not focus on the past
