I made a bad choice and I did a stupid thing. A lot of people were upset with me for my choice; however, no one feels as bad as I do. I'm so embrassed, and I know what I did wrong. I made a fool of myself. I've apoligized to people that I hurt or upset from this choice, but I still feel horrible.
How can I clear my mind from this. I've lived and learned, but I can't move on. I always stress about things I can't control.

I'm embrassed by my choice and behavior. I know you can't change the past, but how can I get over this and move on.

It IS hard to give advice when you only hear about a third of the story but I'll give it a go.....
We all make bad choices, friend. We embaress ourselves and feel so stupid but we get over it. We have to. It's part of life. It sounds like you've done all that you can do by apologizing for your behavior and now you just need to let people forget about it. Over apologizing makes it seem "fake" in a way. It makes it seem like you're just saying that to make people stop being angry with you. Say you're sorry and move on.
If it helps, go back and try to figure out why you made the choice that you made.If you felt that it was the right thing to do at the time, and are still hating yourself because your friends are angry, then the issue lies with you. You need not be embarassed by a right choice, if you FELT it was right and you're only feeling that way because someone else thinks it was the wrong choice. If it was the wrong choice because YOU think it was the wrong choice, then, like you said, you live and learn. You have to figure out a way to move on and that is simply by forgiving yourself for whatever it is that you did. This may not make you feel any better, but this won't be your last mistake. You will make many and you need to laugh at yourself sometimes. You need to dig deep and forgive yourself for not making the right choice. If noone else can forgive you (which i'm sure they will) than you'll have to forgive YOU.
Move on, Dear. This too shall pass.

i know it's really hard to get over things, when you seriously messed up or did the wrong thing instead of the right. but you have to realize that your'e not alone, even if you did something terrible, there's so much more to life than that one little mistake you made. if you move on, and get on with your life and forget about it, others will start to do the same. in no time your life will be back to normal. but if you sit around feeling sorry for yourself, you're not going anywhere. you need to get on with life, and focus on the good things and your goals and achievments, not your mistakes and bad choices.
*hope this helps*

Make it clear to everyone that you really feel terrible and that you can't move on unless you know you are forgiven. People make mistakes we are only human. Put the past behind you and show everyone that you are not a fool and that you will not be held down by your past mistakes. I hope this helps!

I'm sorry what exactly were you talking about? Details are your friend. Or did you want s all to make a general assumption based upon what you wrote?

Accept the fact that you are not perfect but find comfort knowing that no one else is either.
