TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU (actually was a few days ago) by downloading grindr at college

I’m majoring in a STEM major that really stresses me out, makes me unhappy, but I do it for scholarships because I was really averted to taking student loans to go to college. My classes for this major really stress me out, I’ve failed calculus twice, am always generally just bad at math and computer courses. The other day, I decided to download Grindr to look for hookups. Still not sure why I did it. Maybe an attempt to cope with stress, maybe a desire to socialize in some way, maybe I wanted validation from people, maybe I was just horny. I downloaded Grindr, set my pfp to a provocative image of me with my face cropped out, and then I noticed that there were people a few hundred feet away, one person who matched with me. I recognized the person who matched with me, made me nervous, but we talked some, I sent a face pic, and kept trying to make non-lewd small-talk conversation, and then without warning, they disappeared from my messages and favorites. I guess I was blocked. He said he didn’t recognize me when I revealed my face, but I’m still mortified. I also talked some with some other guy who also attends the university, also sending a face pic (he sent one first), but neither of us knew eachother. I deleted the app later that day out of anxiety and shame. I’m mortified to go anywhere on campus, I just go to a secluded spot and sleep all day instead of studying. I feel like such a skank, this has made my social anxiety so much worse. I shouldn’t have used such a risqué profile picture. I’m just horrified that one of those two people I sent pictures with my unobscured face visible will recognize me on campus, then find out my name, and then word will spread. I feel like I’ve thrown away my dignity, and I still can’t figure out why the fuck I did it. TLDR; decided to hoe around on Grindr while on campus, got blocked by someone who’s been in my classes before, and now my social anxiety has spiraled out of control to the point I just hide from people and sleep all day instead of studying or looking after my responsibilities. Edit: I recognize that I am likely overreacting a lot. I’ve always struggled with anxiety and overthinking things. This post was more or less a way for me to get this off my chest, I wasn’t thinking too deep about this while typing. This post wasn’t an invitation for yall to be smartasses; seriously, being snotty and pretentious to someone who was clearly not in the clearest state of mind is some pretty damn low hanging fruit.

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...
