TIFU by donating €2 to an online friend's Ko-Fi

I'm friends with someone on a Discord server, and through them I found their tumblr account (it's their art account), they follow me back but I don't know if they know it's me? Today I donated €2 to their Ko-Fi which is in their tumblr bio, I wanted it to be anonymous but it showed my name on the receipt. I looked up if ko-fi shares that information with the creators, it does, and I got an email receipt saying "You just donated €2 to [friends full name]@email.com. So now I know their full name, they know mine, they know I found their tumblr, and now they probably think I stalked them! I only knew them by a screen name and I'm mortified that I've breached their privacy by just trying to give them money :(
TL,DR: I wanted to anonymously donate money to an online friend, it wasn't anonymous, and now I know their full name and they know mine.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
