I’m not really sure what I want to say here…I feel like I’m doing better now, I’m out of counseling, back in school, still facing challenges. I’m still trying to be the person I want to be, but I find it difficult since I’m stubborn and always focus on the past, and I still get anxiety around people I don’t know, and I still have vengeance for those who hurt me or are hurting, and I don’t want to be like that… Anyone know good tips or advice to help me be a better compassionate person?

I would say let your story play out. You’ll find your heart slowly become more open over time. One of these days I’m also planning writing individual letters to people. Finding some forest and burning them. Watch the smoke carry the grief and rage away.
I think it is also key to accept yourself as you are and where you are at today. Nasty emotions that you don’t like and all. That acceptance will empower change.
Be yourself and live one day at a time. Anything goes as long as you aren’t hurting yourself or others (including animals). As for the past, it’s ok to lose the guilt if you keep the lessons.
