TIFU I might have given a wrong advice leading to accident

I(21M) and my family friend(22M) one day were having casual talk. 1.5 yr ago his father committed suicide because of some family issues. He was alcoholic. Great guy . RIP. His family took lot of time to recover from this .After his dad’s passing away his family is left with his younger brother,his mother and him. His brother(18M) was attending college as of now. While we were talking he mentioned his brother not attending his college recently . Me being good at studies and knowing importance of determination in young age , suggested him to take good care of his younger brother and put him in right path even if it is rough for either/both of them. I said something like “you should be the one to take care of him . Being brother you can make sure he is in right path even if he doesnt like it/you”. After almost a month ,i get a call from my dad saying the younger brother has committed suicide. I was in shock and couldn’t contemplate what was going on.After a long explanation : His brother on the day he committed to take his own life left to college in the morning and attended a college festival and got drunk . Returning to home his mom found out about this and confronted him with lot of grief and dissatisfaction ( because of his father’s alcohol addiction His father was under the influence while he committed suicide.) i dont know if she physically hit him . When my friend got home and got to know about the situation , with the intention of putting his brother on right track hit him and asked him to leave house. After that it is told that his brother left the house and went to their farm house and hung himself . Before committing the act he sent a message to his gf , who contacted my friend . By the time my frnd reached the spot his brother already hung himself and passed away. For context thier relation was intercaste and was acknowledged by his family while her family wasn’t completely comfortable.

After getting to know this i was devastated and felt like my suggestion was the reason to this . My only intension was to help him get better . There can be lot of reasons for this but me even accidentally being one is unbearable for me .

After 2 weeks , my mom calls me and mentioned his gf also committed suicide. She already once told her family that if she wouldnt get married to him , even after marrying some one else for the sake of her parents will finally end up committing suicide.this is heart crushing for me .i have been carrying this guilt of saying just small thing would lead to this devastating situation . Every time i see my frnd i feel so heavy . Now his family is himself and his mom . RIP.
TL:DR; i suggested my friend to be rough if needed to keep his brother in right path and ended up in his brother and his gf committing suicide. Be safe . Peace.

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 making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
