Just as you forgive yourself for anything that you do in life which makes you feel ashamed and/or guilty later.
We have ALL done things we are extremely ashamed of/embarrased about in life at several points. But at the same time, we have ALL done things we are extremely proud of/felt good about in life.Life has both the ends all the time and we are constantly thrown into different situations. Sometimes we overcome the difficulties and rise up, sometimes we crumble and fall down.
It doesn't matter so much if you fell down, what matters is whether you are able to pick yourself up and go on and learn from it, and be helpful to yourself the next time around and if you can, extend the help to others.
And remember, you did the best you could at that time, with the limited resources and help and knowledge available to you.
