Of course I can forgive you. And of course, I must forgive you however difficult that might be — depending on circumstances.

What circumstances would preclude you from forgiving the sin?

But can you forgive yourself?

No need to, it has no effect.

Can God forgive you for the damage that you might have done to my reputation? Etc.?

God can, and will, forgive me when I ask because I loosed that sin by asking you for forgiveness.

You stated you can and must forgive sins when asked. How does your ability to forgive sins differ from the ability to forgive sins given to the apostles?  

May God lead us all to His truth, BVB
