TIFU by being too vocal about my opinions

Obligatory, this happened a couple months ago.

I (15M) am very left wing when it comes to politics. I'm an atheist who was against religion for the longest time, but I've gotten better about it.

I was friends with these 2 kids in my class (16M and 16F), and we started a group chat. The guy, let's call him Link, was kind of a dick. He still is, but he was at least nice when we were friends. The girl, let's call her Marilyn, was super nice. She helped me through some very tough times, especially when I had severe depression after my mom died. Link and Marilyn started dating a couple months before we started the group chat, and I thought they were a really cute couple.

During this time, me and my best friend, we'll call him Bradley (15M) were seeing all the news about how Trump is fucking up, and the wars, all that stuff, and we had very strong opinions on it. Mind you, we still do, but not to the extent we did. Anyways, me and Bradley got into a conversation about evangelism and why politics should not have anything to do with religion, and that's when we thought that all Christians were evil. (He was raised Christian, I was raised agnostic) Of course, this is just not true, and we were very prejudiced against religion.

That's where my fuck-up started. I was going on tiktok and YouTube, searching up anti-theism, and made a few posts like, "If God's real, he's a narcissist. The only way you can guarantee getting into heaven is believing in God, which would make all these horrible people, like Hitler, be in heaven, and if that's the case, I'd wanna be in hell." I had many other takes that I have since deleted and forgotten. I put a lot of these opinions as texts in the group chat with Link and Marilyn. They both repeatedly told me to stop voicing my opinions, and I said stuff like "yeah whatever". Classic teenage angst. Eventually, I sent the gods a narcissist text, and Marilyn decided she'd had enough. She texted in the group chat, "I'm leaving this group chat, because I can't deal with your shit anymore." The group chat ended, and I proceeded to text both Link and Marilyn if they wanted to be friends with me. Marilyn said she wanted me out of her life, and Link said no, and that he would never talk to me again.

Of course, I was still very depressed at this time, so that did not help at all. I cried myself to sleep the next couple weeks, and haven't been able to reconcile with them. Me and Bradley are still really good friends, and I talked to Link in the film study class we had together.

TL;DR: I sent a few opinionated texts to my group chat, and they wanted to cut me out of their lives.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
