TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by asking my parents why they don’t like me

i (F, 24) live with my mom, dad, and brother(22). For context, as a family we have gone through a lot together. Our house burned down in 2016 and we lost everything, after that my dad lost his mom and ended up becoming a raging alcoholic and completely physically and mentally abusive. He would hit my mom and leave bruises all over her and would mentally abuse my brother and i, go on crazy rampages throwing things off of our deck etc. At the time i was living on my own in a house, and my mother came to me for help and comfort. That took a huge mental toll on me and i ended up having to quit my job earlier than expected, move out of my home and back in with my parents on very short notice and that’s where i have been since. Eventually my dad almost died from the alcohol and got sober. Since then, we have all lived together, relatively “peacefully”. My parents have always had their issues but the biggest thing has been their lack of emotional maturity throughout my life. As i have gotten older i almost feel as if i have surpassed their emotional intelligence and i find it so difficult to even have a conversation with them, let alone a hard one. They always deflect or project their own feelings onto me or just ignore me all together. They team up on me and even completely twist situations to be what they are not. Overall i am completely exhausted and tired of defending myself. The final straw was this morning. I joined them in the living room just to tell them a few things about my dog and i could feel their apathy towards me. I was feeling emotional and began to cry at their lack of interest in what i was saying. When my mom noticed i was crying she looked upset and so i said “why don’t you guys like me?”. I surprised even myself when i asked but i needed to know. My dad proceeded to tell me very matter of factly that i was” hard to like, and hard to be friends with, and even hard to love”. Hearing that come from my own fathers lips sent me into a bit of a panic attack and i felt like i couldn’t breath so i excused myself and walked away. i know deep down none of that is even remotely true and i felt like he was projecting a bit onto me again. I calmed myself down but for lack of better judgment went back upstairs to ask my mom if she also felt that way about me. Turns out she absolutely does. She started bringing up things i’d say as a teenager ( at least 5 years ago now) and said i’m a very mean person. She also said i was mean for calling out her emotionally detached and apathetic behavior in the past. I cannot stress to y’all enough how much i have been trying to not talk to them and hold back my tongue and walk away when they get mean or angry so i was very confused. I was also confused because of course i had said some crazy shit in my time, i had been dealing with an abusive parent. Somehow it then turned into my dad going on yet another one of his rampages around the house calling everyone stupid and slamming doors. They are pissed at me and think i’m an awful person who starts shit for no reason.

i am at such a loss. I still live with them and unfortunately due to the way the economy is looking will continue to for the foreseeable future.

TL;DR i am cutting off my toxic parents because they don’t like me and think i’m hard to love because of my reactions to their abusive behaviors.

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
