Adult realization: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just to people, grow and learn.
in addition: Trying to avoid ever doing these things will cost you in ways you cannot comprehend until you stop and accept this.
