Don't you hate it when people bring up past things?

I know that the past is important so you can grow but I hate when people bring up bad memories and make it seem like it's happening right now. I should know because I used to be that guy end up trying to get away from the past so I can start up a new future but it's hard when people make it seem like it's happening right right now. Like for instants I was writing about how cheating is wrong and how people shouldn't do it and my dad just came out and said I shouldn't be talking because of the fact that years ago I was in a relationship with a girl that literally was crazy to the point where she treated me like property.... he didn't know that but he decided to jump into the conversation because the fact that I cheated on her with someone that I was talking to with because of the fact that this girl literally treated me like I had to be a certain way or act a certain way and if I'm not talking is there a way that she likes she will literally just disappear until she feels that things are going her way. I hate relationships like that and I hate when people just jump into something or bring something up without even having all the information down pat? I put myself into a situation and now that I'm out I don't even want to think about situations like that where I feel like I have to be somebody sleeve just to feel appreciated or feel like I have to be somebody's tool just to be loved!!! I hope none of you have to go through something like that either in a relationship sense or in a sense where somebody is going to bring up a situation that you don't even wanna think about.....

Some are historians that correct others like, "Before ____, there was ____." Some are full of nostalgia syndrome like, "Remember blowing the NES cartridges and inserting them? Ah, good times!" Even older generations bring their eras with them. Somethings in the past are useful info, while some should be discarded.

I think it could be annoying if someone constantly brings up your past mistakes but at the same time it wouldn't bother me unless I've made no effort to change or correct myself from the point in time where i made the mistake. I wouldn't say I hate it when people do that. The past should remain as a window to see who you were before and what progress you have made. I've done things I'm not proud of when I was younger and yeah, my family has brought up some past incidents at times. But I'd just shrug it off because I know I'm not the same person as back then. In fact I'm drastically different so I don't hold any insecurities when it comes to things like that. I'm proud of my progress and growth so rather than being annoyed when people bring up things like that I would answer with "Yeah, that happened. But things have changed since then. The amount of positive actions I have taken to improve myself outweighs the negative" and move on with my life.
