TIFU by being socially awkward in front of the girl i like

For context I 30(M) i grew up only child with a single mother (so family dynamics is something unknown to me) im getting to know this girl (26F) has a child and lives with her big family lets call her N . We aren’t dating yet because she needs time we both need time to get to know each other and to see if i would be a good male figure in her babys life.

Now for the story of how i f*cked up today So i got a message from N that she wanted to get her nails done and wanted to see if im availabe to take care of her child while she did that because for some reason the baby stays and is better behaved with me than whith her family or her for that matter. So i told her yes that i would pick him up latter and so i did, I had him with me all of the afternoon while i was walking back to Ns house i bumped into her moms girlfriend (most sexist gay person I’ve met) and she starts laughing at me and says from now on your name is not so and so your name is the baby sitter (she used a degrading word for baby sitter used in my country). I got mad but mostly hurt so i turned back and went to the park with the baby while i calmed down so after a while i went back to Ns house and as i reached i saw N and her entire family sitting in the front yard, as soon as her moms girlfriend saw me she started shouting at me the same word she called me a while back. Something i forgot to say im bipolar so certain things trigger me so i got angry and told her i dont like being called names but with a very rude tone then i handed N the baby and i left about a hour after i received a txt from N step mom saying thats how family jokes around and that in that house they show love like that.
TL;DR got pissed of and had a fit in front of the girl i like because i didn’t understand how family dynamics work and that they were joking around

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 ...
