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?

Alhamdulillah. This reminded me of what I heard in a bayan of sheikh Maulana Abdus Sattar (DB). When the court forgives a culprit, it still keeps the crime record of the person while Allah SWT erases even our record of sins if we repent to Allah SWT so His SWT slave doesnt feel ashamed on the Day on Judgement in presence of everyone. Such is the mercy and love of Allah SWT. When a person repents after 40 or 50 or 60 or even more number of years, Allah SWT says that there is only delay in the person seeking His SWT forgiveness while there is no delay in Him SWT in granting His SWT forgiveness. When we upset our mothers and we see their forgiveness, even they might taunt us sometimes and then forgive us while Allah SWT won't even taunt. That is how He SWT is merciful.
As far as the part which can bring more harm, then it is better we pray for the one whom we hurt. Allahu alam
I hope someone knowledgable can reply better. Let Allah SWT grant us all tawfeeq to repent sincerely to Allah SWT and make us all pious and beloved to Him SWT.

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?
