Is it normal that i still feel regretful about stalking a girl?

When I was 13, I would continue to stalk this 12 year old on multiple platforms. I don't know what was going through me but it wasn't healthy either, I went on using sock puppet accounts and getting blocked by her but at that point she didn't know it was me.

And then six years year later I decided to stop and actually stop stalking her until eventually I became friends with her.......

However I still feel regretful even after doing it for more than a year and I fully hate myself for stalking someone in the first place.

If I ever went back in time I would tell 13 year old me to back out and stop.

    Not normal you stalked her, but normal that you will probably always feel a bit awkward around her.

      I probably do feel awkward but I sometimes feel the flashback that I want to forget.

    It's actually good that you feel shame for something like that. It shows that you have learned a lesson and not likely ever do it again.

    We all make mistakes and wish we would have done things differently in the past. Don't worry too much about it. Just do better in the future.

    I wish you the best,

    I think the feeling of shame is warranted. Thats something that should give you problems when u see yourself in the mirror. Thats peeping tom weirdo shit.

    Yes, it's normal to feel remorse about having stalked someone in your past, especially if it's who is now actually a friend of yours. Whatever you do, never confess to her that you used to stalk her in the past, because no doubt she will feel hella creeped out, as she should! If ever you should feel so bad that you want to make peace with your past you can tell a Catholic priest, or a therapist, but never ever confess to her directly... never.

      If I ever confessed she'll think I'm a weirdo also.

        Yeah, pretty much. Just be cool, respect her and don't get weird.

    It's understandable that you feel that way, but you were very young and you see the errors in your ways now. As long as you know not to repeat that pattern I'd say forgive yourself and move forward.
