Yup me too, in fact, it even defines me in some ways (not necessarily bad for me imo, a lesson is a lesson regardless of how sour you may feel)

Your youth is generally full of cringeworthy stuff.

Then, hopefully you mature as you age and learn from your mistakes. It’s just a life journey we all go through.

I do. My therapist is working with me on learning how to let go of the shame. She says cringing at your past means you learned better. It is a sign of how much you improved.

Unfortunately, with my BPD diagnosis, I am doing this after every interaction with every person…I am constantly thinking “oh, I shouldn’t have said THAT” even when what I said was entirely appropriate. I constantly feel like my every conversation is a shame-inducing faux pas. I’m working on this…
