TIFU by 'apologizing' to someone

So, I'm young, still in highschool and I fell out with someone I had been friends with for about six years. Lets call her Libby. She was my best friend, but since a few weeks ago I had felt really left out because she'd started to get closer to one of our other friends till the point they were making arrangements in front of me. I wasn't angry for the fact they were making plans Infront of me but I decided at lunch I would go out without texting them to give them space to make their plans. That's where I messed up. I didn't text. Near the end of lunch they came up to me and they asked me why I never texted them and I said that I didn't know. They both then stormed off.

I thought this was okay, it would've gave me a break from them for a while since this wasn't the first time we'd argued for something like this. But I was very wrong. The next day I had a friend text me saying that Libby had been calling me a bitch behind my back and I wasn't having that, I texted her asking her to meet up with me and calling her a twat and stuff like that. We argued all throughout lunch until the bell went, when I got home I got a text from a random number saying really, really bad things about me. So i texted Libby saying that this had gone to far. She replied with "I don't know who that is" then blocked me. The thing is, she had to know who that person was since it had very personal information about me and things we had argued about previously. I told my gran about it and she said she was going to get the police involved, I said no because this type of thing happens all of the time but I text one of my other friends saying to tell Libby to unblock me and that my gran was getting the police involved. A while after Libby unblocked me and told me she was sorry and that she didn't know that it was actually her best friend from her home country that had texted me it and I said, "it was her??" I told her sorry wasn't enough though, by that I meant she needed to come apologize to me in real life instead of over text. We argued until she blocked me. We hadn't spoke for a couple of weeks after that.

Today was her birthday, I never noticed until a group chat notification popped up where it was one of my other friends birthdays who had the same birthday as Libby. I then texted Libby saying happy birthday and that I had been thinking about what happened and I wanted us both to say sorry to eachother. I then remembered I was still blocked so I asked one of her friends to ask if she could unblock me, she asked me why and I told her it's because I wanted for us to not argue anymore. She said okay and I said thanks. Libby then texted me saying "what" and I resent her the messages it took a while but she read them then instead of typing, sent me a voice note saying what she felt, I heard friends laughing in the background and she'd occasionally laugh with them. I kept telling her how I felt aswell, over text instead of voice note, keep that in mind, she kept saying she just didn't care about me anymore which made me pretty upset as I was so attached to Libby and at this point I felt like I was in the wrong but was still trying to defend myself. I couldn't just say I was sorry because that would make me look weaker than I already am and it probably wouldn't make her come back to me or anything. (I should probably mention that every argument we have ever had, ended in me coming back to her.) Her saying she didn't care anymore made me really angry so I ended our argument with saying how she was a pedophile and so was our other friends. (I should mention she is also young but has child p0r^ on her phone which is pretty awful and our other friend always laughed at it.)

The friend that I had texted previously to ask her to tell noemi to unblock me, texted me saying horrible things, we then argued because she said I lied to her saying I would apologise to Libby but didn't. I honestly tried but it didn't work out and I tried to tell her this but she wasn't having it. (Libby had showed her screenshots of our conversation, I'm guessing that's why she did voice notes, because nobody could hear them through a screenshot, but you could see texts through a screenshot.)

I really feel like my life is over, I have nobody left apart from family and I'm genuinely scared to go to school tomorrow incase they come up to me. If I just didn't text Libby trying to make up, this would've never happened.

What can I do to fix this, or better, avoid it?

TL;DR: by trying to apologise to someone but messing it up by getting angry

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 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 ...
