TIFU Did I Say Too Much? My Barber Left His Family...!

A few years ago, I went to a local barber who also worked as an elementary school teacher. We chatted for a while, and I don't know how, but I ended up talking to him about the importance of reading. I mentioned that kids find it hard to read and sometimes get bored, right? He agreed. I told him about methods that can help make reading enjoyable for kids and also about a video I recently watched: “Fenix Seminar by Brian Tracy.” In the video, they talked about an experiment with students with low IQs: they treated them as if they were geniuses, and by the end of the year, they had improved tremendously.

Then, I shared a story about a friend of mine from high school who loved playing soccer; he was really good at it. But his family convinced him to study Business Administration at university. He graduated, worked in several companies, and about five years later, when I saw him, he was depressed, stuck, and empty. He confessed to me that he didn’t understand why he had given up soccer when it was his passion.

The barber was listening closely, and it seemed like that story struck a chord with him. I told him that one should follow their passion to avoid ending up frustrated like my friend, but sometimes we let our family influence our choices... He responded, “You’re right.”

What’s crazy is that, after that conversation, not even two weeks passed before he disappeared from the family barber shop, and his wife hired other barbers. At first, I thought he had moved for work, but months passed, then years, and I never saw him again.

I often wonder, did I say too much? Did my words influence his decision to leave? Did he leave his family to follow his passion? Was it right for me to share that story that led him to make such a radical decision? Would he have stayed with his family if I hadn't spoken up? Maybe he chose to follow what he really loved but didn’t have his wife’s support?

I never found out, but that conversation left me with a lot of questions.

Tl: Dr. I told my barber about a friend who gave up his passion for soccer to study what his family wanted, and then he also left his family and his barber shop. Now I wonder if my words were the cause of his decision.

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...
