TIFU by ruining my best friend's birthday party

I (22M) totally messed up at my best friend's (23F) birthday party. So, for a little context: i met my best friend when we were 3 years old, we met at a ballet class and since then we've been inseparable. She's like my sister and i always try my best to support her and be there for her. But, there's a major problem between us: how we live completely different lives socially. I'm autistic so it's very difficult for me to communicate with others, many dislike some characteristics that they may find annoying like my info dumping about special interests or not making eye contact (not blaming others, everyone can hang out with whoever they want and I'm ok with that). It's specially difficult for me to bond with others and maintain a good friendship, so she's my only long relationship (aside from my family). I only have other two friends who i care about deeply, while she's a social butterfly and can befriend basically anyone (thing i adore about her).

Well, yesterday/today was her birthday party, where she invited all her friends from high-school, college, singing lessons, family friends, etc. As i said, i have a very difficult time with social stuff and can get very awkward in loud and crowded spaces. The thing is, the only way i can get more extroverted and outgoing is when i drink, but because i don't usually drink i just stay away and smile awkwardly.

Now here's where i totally fucked up: because i wanted to blend in with the rest of them and, to be honest, selfishly feel normal and not invisible, i started drinking. First it was a couple of beers from a keg she bought, then it was a little of wine. I was actually surprised at how well i was holding up since i'm usually smashed at that point. I started chatting, and laughing and people were actually listening to me, then i made the dumb move of getting shots of vodka. Like... 7 shots of vodka. I was fine, and suddenly i remember vomiting and people helping me up. Next thing i knew, i woke up at the ER, it was cold and i had no idea where i was. I got so scared i started panicking and asking the nurse where i was and what happened. Then my mom appeared and explained that apparently, they told her i drank so much i puked all over her bathroom and passed out. Her friends had to call an ambulance because i was unresponsive, and while they took me to the ambulance my mom arrived and left with me to the hospital. I feel so shitty, not only because i basically puked my organs out, but because i feel miserable knowing she probably freaked out during her own birthday party because i was stupid and reckless. I sent her a message apologizing again and again, and even though she says it's totally fine i still feel so horrible. I don't even know how I'm gonna face her friends next time she has another birthday party, i feel embarrassed and I'm definitely not drinking like that ever again.

So, TL;DR: Today i fucked up by getting super drunk at my BFFs birthday party and ending up at the ER because of it.

(Ps: sorry if there are any mistakes, spanish is my native language, and I'm also still kinda hangover even though it's been like 14hs)

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by telling the whole bus I am sleeping with my coworker.

Alright so basically I didn't do anything wrong. We were friends before but we didn't do anything inappropriate when he had a fiancee. But we were working together (different positions, it wasn't a problem but sleeping with your coworker still sounds like asking for trouble) and his fiancee knew who I was however we never spoke. A while after they broke up, I hooked up with him and we decided to be fuck buddies since sex was surprisingly amazing. I met him today in a bus. Like crowded bus. He told me "Wow, you look great today, I have never seen you like that" (I had a skirt) I answered without thinking "Well, apart from our work you basically only see me naked so it is possible you could miss my best outfits". Yes, his ex was at that bus. We laughed it off and basically it is still very funny for me but somewhere deep in mind I hope she won't get the wrong impression. Like, he really didn't cheat on her and I would hate if she got some insec...

TIFU By asking my Sister to watch our brother while I rested…

TL;DR: After Dog sitting for almost a month, Watching my cousin and brother together, and now having to dog sit again i am burned out so i asked my sister to watch my brother and all she did was make him miserable. ———————————————————— 19M, I’ll do almost anything for money if someone asks. That’s just the kind of man i am. Sorry for word vomit, I am upset. Last month I was watching my stepdads dogs for money, they weren’t hard to watch but one of them was extremely energetic. Immediately after that was done my little brother was coming back home after being with my aunt for almost a year since my mom was overseas and I was in college (graduated yay). It actually inter lapped for a few days. In exchange for this favor she wanted my mom to watch my cousin, she then offered me money to watch both if them and I said sure because I didn’t want her stressed. I really want to take the burden off my mom so I started helping more. To be clear my brother isn’t the issue, he’s 6 and my...
