TIFU by being socially awkward and accidentally looking racist😭

TL;DR

TIFU by being too shy to sit on a bench because some members of a sweet Moroccan family were standing up and i sat on the ground looking racist.

So basically I went to catch a bus and at the station there was this nice Moroccan family i asked if the bus is at 17:00. They said yes, i thanked them and then the mom told the kids to move a little to give me a space to sit on a bench. I felt bad to sit there because the mom was standing and we had to wait for another 30 minutes for the bus to arrive. I politely said "Oh, no, don't worry" and walked a meter or two to stand there and not invide their space.

But there's a problem, i am wearing heels (bad idea if you're going to walk pretty much, i know) so my feet were BURNING. I couldn't keep standing there because I was IN PAIN. But i couldn't go and sit on the bench either because i already declined the offer and it would be awkward. I tried standing on my heels only but it still hurt. So i decided to do the only thing i could: i walked one more meter and sat on the edge of the sidewalk.

And only then, after i noticed the Moroccan mom giving me a side eye, I froze because I realized that it looked like I would rather sit on the ground than sit on the same bench with them.

I'm not racist, I am just socially awkward and shy and also I'm afraid of making people uncomfortable so if there were literally any people on that bench I'd do the same... Now i look like a fucking racist. Great

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 ...
