TIFU calling my friend “mom”, only partially on accident

No, it’s not the kind of situation where you call your teacher “mom” in school as a child, there’s so much more here.

So I have a friend who is having a baby, she’s a few years older than me, very caring and supportive, the typical mom friend. She supported me through every single problem I’ve had since we met, she’s always by my side.

My mother is a piece of shit. She’s dismissing, emotionally abusive and neglectful and she turned me into a fucked up adult with mommy issues who struggles with social relationships and multiple mental health issues. Of course she never supported me, but since I have the friend in question I’ve been suffering less from my mother wounds as I found some to replace her.

I was talking to said friend, she confessed her worries about not being a good mother to her child and possibly cause them irreparable trauma so, in order to reassure her, I told her she’s born to be a mother, she really loves the baby she’s expecting, she’s always there for people and she’s basically my mom already.

The thing is I had a very serious face and tone saying that, more than I intended.

We already joked about her being my and everyone’s mom, but I could tell she was confused because I looked dead serious. She laughed it off but I know what I said was weird.

TL;DR: my friend is pregnant, I’m really close with her and she’s basically like a second mother to me so I told her that unironically.

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 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 ...
