I dont think it's so much about forgetting, but rather it is about accepting. I used to beat myself up alot about past mistakes I've made. Truthfully, I dont think you just forget your past, but the important thing is that you learn from it.
Describing myself is hard. For the most part, I am highly individualistic and tend to find contentment in solitude. At other times, I recognize the need to belong, to be social and to enjoy other people's company. Recently, I'm learning how to balance both sides of the fence - I am learning how to be private and how to go public with other people. I need both for my personal growth.
Many people have told me that I seem arrogant upon first meetings.
