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 - 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 ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
