For most of us, forgiving others is a whole lot easier than letting ourselves off the hook. Maybe it’s because we were taught to put others before ourselves and that it was somehow selfish to unconditionally love ourselves.

Here’s Signs We Have Not Forgiven Ourselves…

When We…

1   Don’t feel we deserve to be happy or feel worthy.

2   Are dead set that what we did or didn’t say, or did or didn’t do was wrong.

3   Make it a habit of sacrificing our needs and wants.

4   Criticize ourselves.

5   Feel bad or guilty every time we think about a particular event.

6   Keep apologizing for what we did or didn’t do.

7   Strive to be perfect.

8   Totally disregard when others tell us there is no reason to blame ourselves for what happened.

9   Deflect gifts or compliments from others.

10   Have a difficult time making decisions, afraid we’ll be wrong again.

11   Think about a particular situation over and over, especially what we did wrong and what we should have done.

12   Are very insecure about our abilities, knowledge, or just about anything we say or do.

13   Think our life or others’ lives would have been better if we didn’t say or do what we did. We think we have caused ourselves or others to lose something because of our actions.

14   Want to fix or rectify our past mistakes by trying to control our current behavior.

15   Have no idea what our dreams, desires, and wants are.

If we would just give ourselves a break and leave the past in the past, instead of punishing ourselves over and over for it.
