Guilt, shame and fear rarely have positive effect or result. Let go of them. Nobody does it right the first time, it's a fact of life. If you beat yourself up over making the inevitable mistakes we are all gonna make as humans, you're just tearing yourself down and reducing your own success. We do live an learn, and there's no shame in making mistakes. A favorite quite of mine goes like this:
"No man ever became great, except through many and great mistakes." - William E. Gladstone
Now... if you make the same mistake again and again... then you have something to worry about. But you learned.
It's not necessary to be mean, but to demand the respect you deserve is a necessity in life.
