TIFU by removing myself from social media

I used to be on literally every major social network app you could think of, it started off with MySpace then moved to Facebook and then as social platforms came along I joined them and made friends, got in contact with old friends and made new ones.

Then the world changed pretty drastically post covid, social platforms seemed to favour toxicity, depressing stories and whatnot, it was affecting my mental health so after some deep thought I ripped myself off everything (bar Reddit, which I recently joined back onto and loving it).

This decision has basically severed ties with everyone I knew, nobody even sends a text/calls and the only irl friends I have don't even come see me.

As a huge introvert and someone who gets anxious and depressed fairly quickly it's sending me down a spiral I'm not enjoying and despite my best efforts (subreddits for finding friends) it isn't working at all.

Sorry I'm aware most TIFU posts are pretty funny, this one isn't...if you read this far then big kudos to you ❤️.

TL:DR I went from social media addict to cold turkey and now I'm a friend less depressed mess of a man

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 ...
