TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by not realizing she was into me and now I’m full of regret

If you didn’t read my previous post about me self-sabotaging this.. friendship? Situationship? Idk what to call it. You should check it out also it adds some context to this story.

Anyways, maybe I’m being delusional by romanticizing moments that possibly had no significance but I’d like to share to get another perspective.

I’ll start by saying that I’ve always been a very timid person. I was obese and when growing up and in my early 20s I got into shape. Despite all this, I still have a hard time accepting compliments and feel like people are just being nice to me. I also struggle with communication. Even though I feel like I have improved, when shit gets serious I feel like I just revert back to my old ways and try to act like everything is okay instead of addressing the issue

After that night I (24M) spent with that girl (28F). I could feel myself care for her as more than a friend or hookup. I was scared about it because I thought I was just a hookup to her. She was also 4/5 years older than me so I didn’t think she’d be interested in dating a younger guy. When hanging out she told me about her ex and how badly he had hurt her. I could tell she still wasn’t over the whole situation but I didn’t mind because I was in a similar boat myself. She also told me about a time where she hung out with a guy friend who accidentally got too drunk and missed his first day at a new job. She didn’t mention sex with him but I just assumed it was another guy that she was hooking up with. We eventually messed around and after we were done we cuddled. She was all over me hugging me and we just laid there embracing each other as my music played in the background. I remember her saying “I really needed this” as she played with my hair and held me. I felt so cared for and loved every second of it. Unfortunately I had to go cause I had to be up early so I called an Uber to get home.

She walked me out and my dumbass just gave her an awkward side hug. I still cringe when I think about this. I wanted to kiss her but idk why I did that. She made me feel like I was still in high school acting all shy around her. It had been a while since I felt that. Over the next two weeks talked and things seemed to be going great. I let her know that if she ever wanted to hang out again to just let me know so we could plan it she said "same goes for you:)". i wanted to be around her so bad because I really liked her but I kept telling myself I was just a hookup to her. I thought to myself; let me just save up a bit so I can get a hotel for us again. I thought that’s all she wanted me for and I was willing to accept it because I liked her. I remember my birthday was a couple of days after we met up and she the first person apart from my sister to wish me a happy birthday. Maybe I’m reading too much into it because whenever it’s someone’s birthday I like being the first to wish them a happy birthday. Idk.

She sent me a snap one day of her at the movies and told me "took myself to the movies :)" and i was just like " ooo what movie did you watch" and now i feel like a dumbass because i think she sent that as a hint to ask her out.

I fucked up And asked her about the STDs and looking back now she seemed genuinely hurt that I thought that of her. To me, STDs are not an indication of what kind of person someone is. Everyone who has had sex (which is a huge % of people) runs the risk of being exposed to them and I would never judge someone’s character for that. I wish I told her that but I didn’t realize she was hurt by it until now. I was so worried about myself thinking I had caught something. She also told me “keep in mind other girls you’ve messed around with” and I told her she was the only one but I don’t think she believed me. Looking back now, maybe that was a sign of jealousy? Idk I still feel like I’m reading too much into it. I’d really appreciate your guys’ input.

I feel like if I would’ve made a move and asked her out things could have been different. Maybe she thought I wasn’t that into her when in reality I was and she was exactly my type. I just didn’t show it out of fear. Instead, I fucked everything up myself and now I’m posting it on here for others to read 🤣

tl:dr

Due to my low self esteem and intrusive thoughts I didn’t realize someone I was really into possibly saw me as more than a hookup

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
