Guilt from sexual behavior in childhood

By learning a lot of it is normal and you shouldn’t blame yourself because you were a kid who didn’t know better. I was shocked to hear people I consider to be really evolved and kind tell me they had experiences like this and had to work on forgiving themselves for not knowing better too. My goal is not only to forgive but break the cycle

Yea. At first I didn’t even realize that it could be related to OCD. Mind you I am undiagnosed but I’ve had a fairly consistent pattern of OCD behaviours. And I deal with this theme on and off and every time it comes back it is so debilitating. It feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Realizing that a lot of it is common behaviour helped a bit. It still comes and goes but knowing that other people struggle too makes me feel not alone.

This thread alone is enough to show how common it is. You’re okay. Your brain wasn’t developed, you didn’t know and it is the past. Let it be there and be in the today.

Regardless of nature, you to learn to understand that you were just a kid, and kids know nothing, and have extremely underdeveloped brains. For example consider that There’s a reason legal systems don’t punish kids and adults the same for the same crime. Kids are dumb.
