...she was high also

It's understandable to be emotionally put off by this, but take courage, declare your intentions(it's worse having to agonize later or what-if's), and if things turn out well keep in touch as best you can. High school only lasts so long(for the better and for the worse) and when that time is up you two can meet up again and (with hope, effort, and enough luck) continue where you left off. Best of luck to you, OP and I hope that no matter does happen, that things turn out for the best for you.

Ouch. Well... we have all been there. One minor slip-up and you feel like crap. Probably one of my worst was asking a woman when she's due. And she's not pregnant. D'oh. But you only make that mistake once. You learn. You move on.

Sounds like you have a sleep disorder. I also bolt upright in my sleep, babbling incoherently, terrified and my wife has to reassure me that I'm asleep and just dreaming.

>it turned out that I thought she thought I had asked her if she wanted to eat m & ms

Don't do this. It's too early here for these mental gymnastics...

Hey OP. Do ALL of your coworkers a favor and stop being a fucking creep.

I hope he kicked your ass.

Don't be a paranoid idiot. People throw up for many reasons. They're going to clean it up anyways regardless of the reason. You can save yourself the embarrassment of not telling housekeeping, or you can be honest and tell them now that you threw up.

Hindsight and all that, but what you should have done is unpinned the crush and “accidentally” pin a couple others. Just have them be one of many and than blame it on your mouse acting up or something.

And this is why my parents made sure I had a young person's bank account where all this kind of stuff would go.

Sorry you had this happen to you, but it's never too early to control your own money!

" I’ll never get to hear that voice"

Never say never. Life is long. And short. But also long.

It probably took her a great deal of courage to do that, and you basically rejected her... :D

High school love is such a weird thing. Hormones and neurotransmitters are firing on all cylinders, a lack of experience leads to a lot of hesitation and "what if" thoughts, and it ends up being either the best time of your life or the worst...there is no in-between.

Not that the words of an internet stranger matter, but I'm proud of you for being brave enough to take a chance and see what would happen. And for what it's worth, things get easier; your body will take a chill pill and you'll have experience like this one to fall back on, that will help immensely in dealing with new life events as they happen. Personally I hated being a teenager. If you feel that way too, just know it does get better.

I mean, definitely, but the fact that he didn't even try to make the friendship work, in conjunction with how OP idolizes him and doesn't like herself makes me think there's a chance something fishy is going on.

I'm really, REALLY stretching, but he could've basically considered her a toy, for easy worship, and the love confession showed that the toy is now broken. Some emotionally-manipulative people are really like that.

Summer is probably gay. Not because how he responded to you, but the kind of guy that actively becomes good friends with the new girl in school without trying to date them is usually gay or closeted. Maybe he's not, but probably he is.

Bet! Imma check that out; I wanna see what premium VR looks like.

Paraphrasing above… I gave her a test I knew she would fail, and locked her in a room when she did not pass.

Ya, no. 19 is plenty mature enough not to be an abusive asshole. This kind of predatory behavior doesn’t just magically go away with age. This person needs accountability and a healthy dose of therapy. The fact that you are defending them indicates you could use some therapy too (and indicates you should not be trusted around kids either).

It’s not normal for people of any age to treat children this way. Maturity is not a cure all for cruelty.

Happens to all of us. This is a deeply human experience :).

And it’s an experience we must have… because it comes at the cusp of every serious romantic relationship that you will ever have. We must make the leap of faith because it’s the only way to get to the other side of friendship.

If you never take the leap, you will never know. Knowing can hurt, but hanging on wishing hurts even more. Eventually they’ll meet someone else and it’s going to feel awful, and when you break down, they’ll tell you they wish you’d said something sooner.

That’s not to say being friends is bad, if a friend is what you want… but if you find yourself wishing for more, try. Buy the ticket. Take the ride. Worst case, you know the feeling isn’t mutual and you’ll be able to move forward in finding someone who cares as much as you do.

Will that ruin a friendship? Maybe. Is the potential to live your dreams worth it? Of course. Maybe you’ll get everything you hoped for.

And if it doesn’t work out… it’s okay to cry. It’s okay to be angry, sad, and hurt. Those are the moments that make the blue sky shine just a little brighter the next time you see it. You will find someone who cares about you just as much, but you will only find that person if you’re looking for them.

Bahahah... well... ok... so the real FU was all in your head. No actual FU occurred. I think this is the first time a post in this group prevented an actual FU. Well done.

Yes I know. Was clarifying it is a good cpu and if you get one at a good discount it is worth buying. If you can get a newer chip obviously do that

Wow, dude, you are a danger to that kid. Invest in some self reflection now. Nobody gives AF about your trauma if you use it as an excuse to be an absolute fucking monster and traumatize someone else. It sounds like you got off easy by only being banned from some family events. I would never look at you the same if you were my relative.

Beyond being a horrible semi uncle. If this behavior had been told to someone with a duty to report your not quite niece’s family could have faced a serious investigation.

One more thing, if you have a “sour” relationship with an 8 yo, YOU are the problem. They are 8, and at this point you are a fucking adult. I guarantee you your family didn’t get the full story from her, you better hope they never find this post and connect the dots.

Get some counseling now, what you are describing is abuse - get help breaking the cycle of violence you are in.

bruh.

your partner is not a good person. the rest of the people in this thread are not good either for making you guilty by association especially an association you were forced into. Explain what happened. I don't want to say you will be fine because your prof has a decent chance of being as insane as the people in the thread, but if he is not this will all be sorted out with the truth.

TIFU By believing OP's story Then realizing many seconds later that he messed up.
