TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by losing my passion for music

I am a freshman in college now, and in high school, toward the end of junior year, I decided I would love to learn a new instrument. I'd played trumpet since 5th grade, and was very into music, band, and everything surrounding it. I loved (and still do love) the sound of the Saxophone, so I decided to keep playing trumpet for band, but learn Alto Sax on the side in my free time. I was extremely excited and rented a Saxophone from a local shop for a few months, took private lessons, researched new mouthpieces and ligatures, I tried everything and was very passionate about my new hobby. I would bring it to school and sit in a practice room during my off periods and practice, I spent all of my time on this.

Flash forward to now... I've just finished my first semester in college, and have met people and done things that I have never thought about before. I got really into rock climbing and snowboarding, I also spend a lot of time at the gym. My life took a 180 where I used to like sitting and focusing on a hobby that wouldn't require me to be all too active, whereas now I love getting up and doing stuff and can't find myself sitting around too long.

This is all great. I'm active and social and having a blast at college, except earlier this year I bought myself a saxophone so that I wouldn't have to rent one anymore. It was around March, and I spent my savings from a few years to get a really nice quality horn. I settled on a Yamaha YAS-62 iii, which to save you a google search costs in the realm of $4,000, little more or less depending. I even splurged and got the dark amber lacquer for an extra cost.

So now I have lost most my passion for playing and performing music, but am stuck with a professional quality instrument. My consciousness won't let me sell it, but I feel no passion for Saxophone anymore and gain no pleasure from forcing myself to practice.

TL;DR: I bought a new high quality saxophone before coming to college, but upon trying new activities here I can't find passion for sitting down and playing saxophone anymore

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...
