TIFU When I cut myself for fun and my mom thought I was suicidal

So I have been getting into the habit of taking cold showers, getting up early, embracing discomfort, etc which involves a certain amount of pain. I've watched attack on titan where the main guy needs to bite himself and draw blood from his hand which looked super painful but kinda cool. I tried to do that out of curiosity but I couldn't get to the point where I drew blood.

I also know people cut themselves out of serious depression and I don't want to minimize that at all. It's horrible. But out of curiosity I wanted to see my pain tolerance, essentially to see how tough I was so I got out a pocket knife and cut myself on the arm a few times until I was bleeding pretty good. It did hurt but it wasn't the worst pain I've ever experienced, so I felt pretty good that I was able to take it.

In any case, I completely neglected the fact that I would look like I cut myself out of depression instead of for fun, so when my mom got home, her eyes shot right to the cuts and she started to panic. I said it was just for fun but she didn't believe me. She called the cops, who then came over and talked to me about if I was suicidal. All the while my mom is sobbing and saying she is a failure and she's so sorry for everything.

I explain to them that I was doing it to see my pain tolerance, and after a while I think it got through to the policemen and they believed me but my mom was still skeptical. They left. Ever since that time, my mom has been super vigilant about me being alone, she hid all the knives in the house, made me get therapy, etc. The whole time I'm just here slightly pleased I was able to tolerate pain.

TL;DR: For fun, I cut myself to see my pain tolerance but my mom interpreted that as suicidal thoughts and went kinda crazy.

TIFU Accidentally taught my 4 year old nephew the word chlamydia

So I very awkwardly taught my nephew, the word chlamydia the other day and not in the way that you would think… It was actually very innocent. I was with one of my sister’s friends and my friends who’s become part of the family and I was telling her about an interesting fact, not thinking about how my nephew was right beside us. I told her did you know that koalas can get chlamydia and that they can give it to humans… just a fun fact… and then he who can barely say clear words most of the time clearest day said koala chlamydia so that happened And he went to his grandmother’s house today, so I’m kinda hoping he doesn’t say that, but at the same time I would die laughter and about pee my pants if he did because holy crap, how do you react to that? TL:DR I shared a fact about koalas and my nephew hung on to two words from the sentence. Those two words which he repeated were koala chlamydia.

TIFU having sex with the hot tub

Happened a year ago, but today was when I was told how bad this is.    Having sex with the hot tub is a terrible idea.  Not IN the hot tub.  WITH the hot tub.    I like to relax at night in the hot tub.  No lights on, dark sky and all alone in my backyard.  Sometimes, the hot water and bubbles hit the right spot and things can get aroused.  Usually not a big deal and a little masturbation to climax helps with the relaxing part of the evening.  However, this night, I was too stressed to finish, but the erection would not go away.  I decided I had to take care of the issue and looked for the most immediate, intense stimulation by sticking my penis right up against the jet flow.  The feeling was incredibly intense and the desired effect took place within a minute.    Now I could relax.  But, something didn’t feel right.   Touching my semi-erect penis, I realized it was flopped over to the side, half way up...

TIFU by paying attention in class

Today in psychology my professor was talking about discrimination and the way people can judge others based on initial impressions. I happened to be looking my professor in the eyes when he was speaking to us, which is what I do with everyone talking to me. For some reason he didn’t like this, he stared back at me and continued speaking until eventually he interrupted his lecture to call me out. He said, “you there in the hoodie! do you think anybody knows who you are?” in a slightly aggressive tone. I was completely caught off guard by this, and I felt a lot of anxiety and sudden tension in me rise. I eventually said “no” and he said “I could discriminate against you based on your hoodie.” I didn’t think anything was wrong initially because he could have just been trying to make an example out of me to add to the lecture, except he had never done this with any other student before which is what made me also think it could have been targeted. Everything was fine until I did it agai...
