TIFU for being a neurodivergent

I (21) am a university student, I struggle with a lot of trauma which made me honestly a shitty person for that and I acknowledge my badness and I won't be saying I'm not wrong in this. For introduction, I'm not American nor live in the west and my country's medical care is flawed, and it's hard for me to find eligible therapist that won't sent me into conversion therapy bc I'm also queer and my country is homophobic+sexual trauma(especially hypersexualism) something that is frown upon in my country. Which by that I'm self-diagnosed but I have extensive research of the disorders I might've had, just don't have the proper resources to get diagnosed and I want to be diagnosed it's just unfortunate that if I ever did my life would be in so much danger than it is now. I'm not going to specified the disorder I might've had bc all of those disorders are pretty infamous to the internet bc of people spreading the misinformation.

So, the reason I fucked up today is my neurodivergency tendencies hurt my now ex-friend. They confronted me yesterday and said the list they made of my bad traits (that I fully aware of and o thought they understand me which one of the reason I dropped my masked around them).

First disclaimer: I acknowledge these bad traits of mine, but I also can't control it unless I don't drop my mask and acted like a robot, which this lead of people bullying me in the past. I talked to my best friend last night and she said I should acted more npc and don't drop my mask.

The lists are in my language and is too long since they're just repeating same point every 2 lines. So here it goes:

1) I'm too loud and I liked to swear and it's embarassing them, and i'm the reason why our classmates are drifted away from us. -I can't control my voice because that's how I talk and I didn't know when i'm too loud, they could've ask me to tone down my voice bc my other friends always did that to me and I soon talk lower. The reason why I swear a lot is because I want to claim autonomy of my lips since people in my past including family always dictated my talk and made me talk properly, and if I don't they will start gaslighting me.

2) I like to talk down of their achievement. -I don't understand what they meant by this since I am very impressed with their achievement. One of them were game developer ok roblox since she was 14, why wouldn't I'm impress with it? Maybe it's my tone, and my not over the top reaction that they think I wasn't genuine for that. I mean one of them published books, and she got only one time payment, so I said it's not fair and she should get it by loyalty and somehow she think i'm downgrading her achievement when I was saying she deserved better. Again, maybe it's my tone since sometimes the way I talk and communicate is very monotone and rude.

3) i'm to serious, take everything literally and debate over it, then I will said, "yeah you were right, I am wrong." and move on -… I have issue with communication and social cues. I'm aware of it but sometimes it slipped through and I won't notice it unless people said to my face. They don't do that instead they kept it, I mean my other friends used to say what they feel to my face so that I realized what I was doing. Then yeah whenever I feel like debating is a dead-end to them because they're thickhead, I will said they're right bc I recoiled back and want them to feel the satisfaction of it because I thought people want that????

4) I dictated group assignment and did it half way through while if I do it with other group, I did great. -I thought I was helping. I asked them what to do, what to put into the assignment so I can put the needs into gdrive and make it easier. I'm not dictating but I was trying to help and they mistook my intention. They're mad because I don't help to do those assignment when I did half of the work and they don't even recheck what I wrote when I ASKED THEM TO DO SO MULTIPLE TIME AND THEY IGNORED ME. Plus, I don't do better in other assignment with other group, they did their part best and I'm just helping a little just a tiny bit nd they assumed I did all the work.

5) Whenever i upset, I will ignore them and then become okay after and acted like I never ignored them -I thought they don't care about my feeling because they didn't even ask me why I was upset but they expected me to care about theirs. I was dealing with something when this semester started and got a brainfog and become more easily irritated by something. They made me upset by ignoring me when I asked questions and so I recoiled. I have selective mutism which means even if I wanted to talk, I can't do that since I physically can't communicate whenever I got triggered by something and in thid case, people ignoring me when I need a guidance.

Tbh I don't remember what they said anymore but I don't want to check the list they sent to me but easy to say, they dumpef me because of this.

Ik i'm wrong and I don't deny it but imo, they can just not keep it to themselves and tell me before this become too much to handle. I'm an asshole yeah, and I need to bare being alone for another two years or so since we're in degree. But tbh, it's not a lost at all since they're shitty as well. So i'm not that hurt just shocked.

TL;DR: my ex-friend dumped and all their reason is related to me misunderstanding social cues that I can't avoid because i'm a neurodivergent. I acknowledge i'm a bitch but I wish they communicate better than this.

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 getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

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 ...
