TIFU for falling for my older brother's friend

I'm a 25F grad student who's usually way too busy between my master's program and working at Starbucks to think about dating. My older brother "Dan" (34M) has a friend ("Brody," 29M) who's been around my extended family for about 10 years. We're not related by blood—our families are only connected through marriage. We were both on my little cousin's graduation trip for a long weekend. I almost didn't even go because of school, but my schedule cleared at the last minute. You see, even though I know Brody too, my brother is way closer to him. They've gone on trips together, they watch soccer games together. However, Dan didn't come on this trip so it was a lot of my cousins, and Brody and I. No Dan.

Over the five days I was there, Buddy kept sitting next to me, joking around with me, remembering random details about me from months ago that I didn't even know he'd noticed, asking about school, giving me drinks, offering me his seat, reviving inside jokes, hugging me, complimenting me, and generally making me laugh. We had one long conversation where he told me his girlfriend had cheated on him a few weeks earlier, and I may have accidentally told him I thought he was "very good looking and charismatic." He hugged me when I told him that. It clearly touched him. And then he asked me if I was seeing anyone after. And he was just there smiling.

Two weeks after I got home, requested him on Instagram... and it's still sitting there pending. It's been nearly a week and he posted in the vacation group chat (which has been dormant for weeks now) a video of him and Dan at some bar.

TL;DR: Went on a family vacation, reconnected with my older brother's longtime friend, realized my teenage crush came back in full force after five days of joking around and talking, sent him an Instagram request afterward, it's still pending, and now I'm questioning every interaction we had.

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...

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 ...

TIFU, I accidentally using my sisters panties as wank material

For the record, I’m gonna start off with saying I’m not some freak. At worse it’s a kink.. I just didn’t realize my gf and my sister were close enough to share underwear, this happened a couple weeks back. We were getting intimate (gf not sister) and I …to put it bluntly have a habit of using her panties to jerk and get myself hard. I don’t know why she didn’t tell me till after but long story short I found out that day they share underwear. my girlfriend found it absolutely hilarious but I went did not. you have no idea how badly I cringed when I found out but her on the other hand she found that absolutely hilarious. I’m debating if I should say something or if i should just keep this to myself..omg I’m still..ew TL; DR: I accidentally use my sister’s panties to get myself hard before I fucked my gf
