TIFU getting circumcised for my ex girlfriend

This happened 8 ish months ago and just wanted to give an update on how I am travelling after making such a stupid mistake. I was circumcised due to my ex's advice and didn't do any meaningful research myself to know if it was a good idea or not.

Not only did I instantly regret the procedure less than a few weeks afterwards, but the ongoing damage that I have to live with everyday is a reminder to really think before committing to any lifelong decision. My penis has become extremely dry and does not feel anywhere near as sensitive. I am having issues regulating moisture as I feel it is extremely difficult to keep the glans moist due to the rubbing on my underwear/pants. I feel like too much skin was removed during the operation leaving me with inadequate skin coverage while getting erections and masturbating has become incredibly difficult and non-rewarding/pleasurable.

I am a bit deflated about making such a permanent decision so quickly based on no research and I feel it is something I have to learn to live with which is very tough. Point of this post is to really just make your own decisions in life especially if it is about your genitals because cutting important pieces off really isn't a smart idea especially if it is for someone else's aesthetic preferences. Thanks to everyone that previously sent really positive and supportive messages I really appreciate everything.

TL;DR by getting circumcised for an ex girlfriend 8 ish months ago and now living with a dry exposed penis and everything sexual is a lot less pleasurable and numb.

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 getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
