I can’t get things right (sorry, I need to vent.)

Sorry if this is a really boring post, it’s something I’ve talked about a few times over the years on here, I guess it’s always on my mind.
With each new year I suppose it’s normal to take a look at yourself, your life etc. I’ve come a long way from when I first joined here and pretty much it’s all positive. When I joined, I talked a lot about how I was a bully at school/college and couldn’t see that what happened to me was all my fault.
I was so obsessed with being popular that I made other people’s lives a nightmare, just to make me feel good. It’s really hard to change your personality completely and so I still case popularity quite a lot (but hopefully in a more positive way.)
Lots of people still don’t like me because of the way I was and it really hurts to hear what they say about me (snobby, shallow, boring etc.)
I know I should ignore them and keep my head up but it does upset me still.

There comes a time when you realise that you might not have been the best person you could be.
Seems like you have taken a hard look at yourself and decided you want to be better than that.
Being the age you are, you have decades ahead of you to ensure you are a better person.
Someone who has empathy and compassion for others.
Not the self-absorbed brat you were.
Use the future years wisely and you will come to love the person you grow into.
