I beat my self up all the time over previous mistakes i have made in my life. I feel unlovable because i have made so many and still continue to make mistakes. I have never been in a proper relationship i have been on dates but they all end because i dont feel good enough.i am envious of intelligent people because i feel that ill never be able to have a life like them due to my mistakes and failures.

Everybody including Einstein makes mistakes . All you can do is try to learn from them and keep going in the direction that you want to go.

I would try to feel grateful for what you have. Looking harshly at your life is not going to get you in a good mindspace.

I hear that, your literally preaching to the choir baby 
I’ve made some horrendous mistakes and I can’t take them back. But it’s definitely best not to dwell on them.
I’ve written a few poems about mistakes
That’s a different issue. If you have flaws who’s to say the other person might love your flaws. Maybe you should give the other person a chance.
Be a good listener. You’ll make fewer mistakes, and you just might learn something.
I have low attention span
I know the feeling of beating oneself up over previous mistakes… I used to daydream all day about fixing my previous mistakes if I could go back in time while laying in bed doing nothing.
One day something changed, and eventually I got used to not thinking too much, especially about the past. I´m happier this way. Sometimes I get a bad dream, or a fixated thought, but I´m good most of the times.
Now I´m doing things that are not common for my age, I´m 32 (like studying a degree). But I couldn´t care less about it.

How do you know it’s always your fault? If you make mistakes is the other person thinking they don’t? Because they do. Everyone messes up sometimes

I talk to myself in the mirror, giving myself loving comments that I like about myself…I never never dwell on my mistakes or bad things I feel bad about…it comes to me at night right before I go to sleep sometimes…cry…get it out of your system…life always brings change…especially when we try to love ourselves.
Making mistakes is important for your growth, insight and awareness is the best start for improvement. Even 60 years old still fall in love sometimes, you can’t hurry love, its a game of win and take.

We all make mistakes. It is a part of growing… we learn from them and know what not to do next time… noone is perfect and noone is expecting you to be perfect. I make mistakes everyday on quizzes, exams, at work, at home… with people… sometimes I don’t even realize I am doing it… anyway point is don’t beat yourself up… just try to better yourself each day and learn from these experiences.
I think you are very smart because stupid people don’t worry about mistakes they have made.
