TIFU by saying no to a game

TIFUpdate by lying to my family about having a boyfriend

So long story short about a week ago I made a post in this sub saying I lied to my family and told them I had a boyfriend because they've been hounding me for YEARS to get one, specifically 3 of them Deb, Lola and Jenna (all fake names) and I couldn't handle the pressure anymore.

Yesterday I got a text from a friend of a friend linking me to that post asking if it was me. At first I was going to add to the web of lies and tell them no but before I could reply they said the story is too specific to not be about me and I finally came clean. Huge mistake.

Aforementioned friend of a friend, let's call her Dayna, told my entire family that I lied about having a boyfriend and they're all pretty pissed at me. Mostly for lying but more so the fact that I still don't have a boyfriend "at my age" (I said this in the last post but I'm literally 21 and they're acting as if I'm on my death bed). Also somehow Dayna found out the youtuber I was referring to based on his initials in the original post and told my family that as well and now they're being very judgmental about my taste in men which is really putting the nail in the coffin.

Anyways I doubt anyone will see this but I figured I'd make an update anyways I guess just for my own sake.

TL;DR I lied about having a boyfriend to my family members, they believed me at first, friend of a friend found my original post and told my family I lied now my family are pissed at me for lying and once again hounding me about not having a boyfriend

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...
