TIFU by accidentally coming out of the closet

By regretfully coming out as gay (actually bi)

So basically last year September I was having an argument with my mum (can’t remember what it was about) but we ended it off kinda well and she said “IK you tell me everything and I hope it stays that way” so I responded with “well I don’t tell you everything..” so ofc she wanted to know what was going on. It was midnight so I told her that I’d tell her tomorrow. I tried avoiding her the next day but I failed. As soon as she saw me she asked. I panicked. I blurted out “mom, I’m bi”. I thought she’d be fine with it because she has never had anything against the community but boy was I wrong. She didn’t believe me and called it a phase; a disgrace; a trend.. She told me not to tell anyone because I’m probably just confused. Every time we have an argument she brings it up and calling me… well hurtful homophobic stuff that I won’t mention. I don’t want to get too personal but her attitude towards me has changed a lot. She ignores me, gets mad at me easily and now despises all my gay friends because they apparently influenced me. Ik she hates me being bi but I couldn’t help but tell her and now I regret it.

I wanted to edit one of my old posts and change it to “Tell your parents you’re gay to see they’re reaction and only spill the prank on April fools” (yk to make it seem like an early April fools joke) but she would see my username as the op

I would ask one of my friends to do it but they don’t have a Reddit post before September.

Idk what to do I just wish I could turn back time and make everything go back to normal.

TL;DR I panicked and told my mum I was bi and now she probably hates me for life because I am seen as a disgrace to her who was apparently influenced by others

Edit: guys IK she is in the wrong but at the end of the day she’s my mum, it hurts to have an unhealthy relationship with my parents. Plus she was brought up to be like that so it’s not entirely her fault. In fact the rest of my family would have kicked me out..she would have handled it the 2nd best (my aunt would have supported me) which is why I told her. I feel so guilty posting this too..makes me feel like I’m betraying her trust 😭 life needs to come with instructions I tell ya

Edit 2: lol if anyone actually finds a post about telling ur parents ur gay as an April fools joke send me the link pls 😭

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
