Does anyone else keep an IRL journal where you write down cringeworthy and regrettable mistakes you made, what you wished you would have done, and what you would do in the future? I find that this helps curb my autistic proclivity to overthink everything, allowing me to relax and actually feel good about learning from what I didn't like about the way I reacted, and be confident that I won't make the same fuckup again.
Not a physical one...
Not exactly. I have a notebook where I write down embarrassing memories. I try to relive the moment in my mind. For masochistic masturbation purposes.

Better not read your parents'
I'm 21 and have had a journal since I was 14 that I write in every year or so. The first entries are all about my highschool life down to the small details, but after some really bad things happened to me I just write fact-based reports of my life and my failings/improvements, if I even made any. The first part of it has shitty entries talking about my fetishes though, always want to rip it out but I don't want to do it to little me.

And there's your problem. After time, your autistic mistakes will become distorted by emotion and memory, making them into bigger problems than they are or were. Writing them down will provide a written record for you to reference from time to time and realize you didn't fuck up nearly as much as you thought.
Alternatively, you could write another Rodger Dodger manifesto and achieve literally the opposite.
