Before practicing islam i use to do sins without ever thinking about consequences and have made tauba from them. However during this period what if there are shameful sins where i did or said things to others which were completely wrong? At the time i felt nothing cos i had no fear of allah swt. Now i am not sure if merely repenting is enough? I dont want to bring this sins up cos i feel terrible shame and guilt from them and also it would harm my relationship with them. Is it enough for me to make taubah? I make dua for the people also? Is it any better that i commited these sins during when the thought of allah swt never crossed my mind?

as well as repenting and making dua for them maybe there is an opportunity for you to do things of benefit for these people to these people as a reparation.

maybe it is a good idea to avoid bringing these things in the past up, it sometimes is,

even if the ones you harmed are not ones that you have a daily reason/excuse to help/benefit there are often ways we can think of helping and benefiting others without them knowing it is us doing it, yes?

indeed maybe your beliefs were wrong to the point of infidelity (i.e. believing the haram is halal contrary to what is clearly established in Islam or other things that negate Islam etc) so maybe you committed them as a non-Muslim.

In that case your repentance of them and your improvement in your way of living and thinking could have been like a non-Muslim coming to Islam, who knows.

The important thing is that you repented and you feel remorse for what you did.

today I heard someone recite the hadith that says when a someone truly repents Allah is pleased like a man who finds his lost camel in the desert.

be pleased that you are one of Allah's lost camels that has been found, yes?
