It sounds like with lowered inhibitions due to drinking, you both allowed yourselves to have some non-sexual intimate contact with another human being. Its only as weird as you two make it. Its okay to have physical contact sometimes with someone, without the need to have sex with them.

I'm not sure, but it sounds like you were both clothed all night so thats a pretty good indicator that there wasn't an overt sexual attempt on either part, since that's not what you guys currently, if ever want. Its also okay that you took care to make sure he was okay after being so drunk, he is your friend after all.

My candidacy exam was an hour. I had a half hour talk iirc, though it’s been a couple years since then so I can’t remember the exact time. The grad school told us to schedule a room for two hours, but my PI said there’s no way any busy professor wants to sit and listen to someone for more than an hour. He’s big on the idea that time is money and taking any professor away from their research is like wasting hundreds or thousands of dollars lol

You did pass, kudos to that! Sometimes things go astray and, though we know it is not the end of the world, the feeling is still there. Anxiety sucks.

Last week I did a job interview for a substitute professor position. They asked me to prepare a 30 minutes class (lesson) to present in person to the committee. By the trainings I did at home in front of the mirror, I was doing it in exactly that time and had full control...

The interview was monday. I decided to visit my mother during the weekend and forgot my anti-depressants. Sunday comes, I get a bus at 22, arrive at the city where the interview would be held at 03 and stood there, chit chatting at the bus station with a local worker until the appointed time, at 10. I was tired, sleep deprived and highly anxious. I spoke so fast during the lesson that I presented it in 15 minutes. I feel that I was all over the place and did no logical connection between the topics. Very poor performance overall, as logical sequence of the lesson and time management were the main things being evaluated.

seems you're into each other... not everything is predatory or rape (I assume you're from the US, all the craziest ways to fuck up sanity come from there) - seems also a good friendship, might become more... maybe enjoy without double guessing everything and looking for the worst possible label for something actually innocent?
Best of luck :)

I'm proud of you for being an adult being mature and bringing this up to your aunt. Having done shameful things myself in the past and bringing it up to my family I have an idea of what you went through so I know it took some strength props. I am not happy without your father reacted and hope that it is only an emotional reaction and in a day or two will calm the fuck down. Give your aunt a big old hug and a kiss on the cheek for us

> And I totally feel you, for the first 4 years of my thesis I had issues with worrying about others thoughts of me until an upper year student heard me talk and said to me "what makes you convinced they are spending time thinking about that aspect about you, rather than something else.

Yes, and I have started to realize that this is a recurring pattern in my behavior and in the way I carry myself in my day-to-day life.
