Do you think it is too late for me, and will God still forgive me?
I grew up in a Christian home and am a Christian myself. I always believed I was a really good and well behaved child growing up. Until puberty hit… Once puberty hit all I could think about was Lust and it still affects me now at 16. I am still a virgin, but online and in person I have committed some incredibly vile sins. Sure, I have consumed p********** and would even say I am or was a p*** addict, but it goes further beyond that. Several years back me and my friends were watching Harry Potter at my house. My female friend was laying on the couch with all of us and had your legs sprawled out over all of us, which none of us minded. Eventually she fell asleep during the movie and I started rubbing her leg and inner thigh. One thing let to another and before I knew it I started sliding my hand down her pants. Before anything else happened, she woke up. She acted like nothing happened at first, but later she told her mom what happened and then her mom told mine. I acted like nothing happened and my mom believed me. We still met up and I apologized in person. I never told anyone about that night and it feels like it will haunt me for the rest of my life. That wasn’t the start nor the end of my lustful acts. For some reason I kept lusting and hurting people. Later down the road I was in a position of power in an online community (I was an Admin on a Discord server). Me and this girl started DMing back and forth. Nothing serious just goofing off and generally talking. Eventually I started getting more and more s***** with her to the point where I was s******* harassing her. I didn’t even realize how bad it was until the community owner stepped in with some other people to confront me. She never directly said no, so I assumed she wanted it so I kept trying to be s***** with her online. When I was confronted I felt so much guilt and shame I left the community. I told them how I wanted to be a better Christian and left. I was clean for a little while, but then I started consuming p********** again. These are just some notable events, but I have a repeating pattern of getting close to a girl and then either hurting her and then I abandon her out of panic, or I hurt her and then she understandably leaves. This happens with girlfriends, friends, and just general romantic interests. I have hurt so many people because of this lust, and today I just lost my bestfriend because of it. I never really have bestfriends for this reason I usually just hurt them and then they leave, whether it is lust or something else. Today I was being s***** with a girl I recently reconnected with. We were sending videos and stuff back and forth and I accidentally sent one to my bestfriend. I panicked and tried to get in contact with her so she wouldn’t see it, but she still did.
