I am also feeling in a very similar situation these days, although I believe that most of the harm I caused was due to my bad health.
Just wanted to say that I, for instance, wouldn't feel entirely good to "move on" without the other persons' forgiveness or at least understandng.
It would still make me feel like a wrongdoer deep inside, and somehow (from a moral perspective) prevent me from enjoying life.
To give you an extreme example of what I mean (though it never really happened):
I am driving a car and my friends keep making noise all the time. I am distracted and thereby kill two people in an accident. I feel guilty about my mistake and the fact that I also negatively affected the lives of the relatives of those whom I mistakenly killed.
As long as the relatives keep criticising me I won't be able to fully enjoy a night outside with my friends.
