Forgiven or not?

In the old testament, people kill an animal and give it to God and he will be forgiven with his sin. In fact, that gesture represents a few things.
1. knowledge of sin so one has the ability to know when he commits one
2. fear of God; care of the relationship with God
3. guilty - that requires humble, putting down oneself, let God lead the life, has holy spirit inside
4. Confession openly - to the spiritual mature persons such as priest, confess to the public when the time came
How come I don't feel fully forgiven? Am I punishing myself? I don't have enough faith? Or is it because I can't confess openly? Am I not able move forward for that? Leviticus4-5
