Any attention is good attention when you are the type of person to treat a bar like a hunt. Very weird imo.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

This is both a bad tip and quite an intrusive tactic.
They are celebrating together, just let them

Choosing violence is a SLPT, not LPT.

Won’t they just think that you’re stupid if you see an “I’m the Bride” sash and conclude that it’s a birthday party?

Just because you did bad things that doesn’t make you a bad person.

Then my apologies. Where I live, "Yeah" starting a sentence can be a satirical.
Example "yeah, let's just not do that, okay?"
I'd interpreted it as such.
"Agree." is better and far more clear. Sorry I yelled at you.

Time to ask my crush out i guess..

No what you want, on what you should do. You should just leave them alone.

One thing you might want to do is to ask yourself whether what you're thinking about or feeling is useful.
We can't always control what thoughts and feelings pop up, so you're going to have periods where you think back to things you did and feel guilty and ashamed. But ultimately, sitting there and wallowing doesn't actually help anybody or anything. Nobody's life is improved by you feeling shitty for extended periods of time.
So when thoughts like that come up, acknowledge them. Yes, you did some awful things and that sucked. Addiction is an awful thing. But you are living in the now, not the past. What are you going to do next? What kind of people do you admire and what do you think they would do right now if they were in your place? What kind of world do you think you'd like to live in? What do you think is good and important and worth fighting for? What do you think sucks and is worth fighting against? And is obsessing about the past the most useful thing you could be doing right now? If not, what could you do instead?
It doesn't really matter if you used to be horrible or not, because you have choices NOW. You can choose to not be horrible now, and to not be horrible in the future.

Yeah you could always do that too. It just depends on what you want to do.

My BIL was trying to nap on the ferry and a lady was loudly having a speakerphone convo, so he started singing “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel as loud as he could. Including all the oh, oh, oh parts. That seemed to do the trick.

Genuine self-confidence and self-esteem is earned.
For example, let’s say your statement was “I feel really bad that I suck at basketball” while knowing you did not put in the work to be good at basketball. What’s the solution? Practice and study the game of basketball until it is undeniable that you’re good at it. You will have genuine self-confidence and self-esteem in the area of basketball. This same concept applies to EVERYTHING.
If you feel bad about yourself, it is probably well deserved. The trick is perspective.
“This is who I am. I deserve to be miserable. I’ll never be good enough, etc”(a losers way of thinking)
“This is what I did. It’s done. This is who I am RIGHT now. I accept that. This is who I want to be. I’m going to be that. This is who I hurt. I’m going to try my best to correct that. What I can’t fix, I will let go, but I hope the best for everyone”(Winners way of thinking)
This way if thinking was indoctrinated in me throughout my entire childhood of competing in sports and watching inspiring media. I will assume that you will need to have a constant self-awareness and obsession with changing your way of thinking from a ‘losers’ way of thinking to a ‘winners’ way of thinking. You seem to feel deeply about this topic, which is beautiful and I think if you grind out a good way of thinking, you’ll do great.
Cheer up
Edit: Oh, and the most important advice I can give is to never give up. Make this an absolute rule, a principle, part of your identity, whatever you want to label it, that no matter what, you’re going to try again every single time you fall.

Wear things more than once. Change out of your work clothes as soon as you get home, turn them inside out and hang them in a well ventilated space (this only works if they are not visibly dirty of course) and rotate through a few outfits over the week. As long as you're careful with personal hygiene, you can get two or three wears out of a shirt/dress and a couple more out of pants/skirts with this method.
