  Change your outlook. Don't think about the past and what has happen. You're just going backwards and that's exactly why you can't get over it. Most people don't remember things that have happen in the past about you, so why should you fixate on it yourself? Believe me, it's the impressions you make now that matter, not the ones in the past. The past is the past for a reason. Have a positive attitude. Have a now attitude, don't dwell on regrets. If you dwell on the past, that's all you'll have is fears. You will never gain the courage to face them.
