Input: Text: dearest reddit, this is yet another fuck up that happened years ago. i am going to tell the story of how one kiss lead to a year of unpleasantness, but first, some backstory. but if you want the short version:

 

 i was 16 and i was friends with what was then the only girl i had ever confessed to who hadn't run away screaming. she, let's call her "julia", always gave me the impression of being somewhat naive. she seemed to get human emotions, but didn't get what caused them for certain things in other people. she also had a habit of taking every problem to a member of her family, usually her sister, who seemed equally naive. see, she and her siblings had grown up in an isolated corner of nowhere that made **my** crap town seem like it was the big apple. she also claimed to have had a lot of people back stab her in the past. there was quite a list of people that had apparently hurt her, of which only twenty percent i was able to in some way confirm. but i digress, i was friends with her, and couldn't do anything about it because she was dating some dude online at the time who may or may not have been cheating on her.

 eventually, one of my family members picked up on the fact that i liked julia and began trying to convince me to make a move. they said things like "it's online, their relationship doesn't count" and "relationships aren't worth shit at your age anyway". meanwhile i was telling all of what was happening to my good friend and confidant, "albert", who lived in another state. albert told me that all of that was bullshit and that any attempts to make a move could only result in trouble. consciously i agreed, though evidently a small part of me did not. 

fast forward several weeks. julia and i are hanging out at her house, watching a movie when all of a sudden the world goes black and i find myself kissing her and holding her in my arms. immediately after i said something along the lines of "my god, what have i done?", got up and hid behind a conveniently placed couch by lying face down on the floor. the only thing that drew me out was the sound of her giggling and telling me it was okay. in hind sight i really should have seen this as some kind of a warning, but at the time i was just glad i hadn't made her mad. i did, however, still feel like a total asshole and an idiot for having my first kiss with someone who was already with someone

a while after that she broke up with her online boyfriend and we began what i jokingly call a "de facto relationship", that is, it had most of the characteristics of a relationship, but she absolutely refused to call it that and make it official. this went on for about a month until one day we abruptly stop hanging out. for about a week she hangs out with her ex, "mark", instead. at the end us said week, she contacts me over skype to tell me that mark has asked her out again and she accepted. i was devastated, and it resulted in the first of many big arguments, though this time in particular, it was both her and her sister i had to argue with.

relations became very tense after that, honestly i really should have just deleted her from skype, stopped speaking to her and moved on. but i was 16, i was an idiot and i thought that maybe if i just attempted to suppress my bloated feelings for her, we could happily remain friends. she and i would argue once a month. she started going some cold shit during this time. once she invited me over, just to tell me, 30 minutes into a 45 minute drive that her boyfriend was coming over as well, this is less than a month after she first got together with him, mind you. well i hardly responded to these with tact, being the wreck that i was, and ended up going into mood swings for a few months. eventually i decided to just shut up every once in a while and our relations began to warm once more. my mental state, on the other hand, deteriorated and i began to have trouble sleeping at night. my birthday came and went and i barely noticed. nothing seemed to have value any more. i did however, enjoy talking to albert, and julia when she was available.

it is somewhere around here, the autumn of my 17th year that things changed with her in a massive way. she began guilting me about how i had reacted in the aftermath of her getting back together with mark and used it as an excuse to make rude remarks and call me names nearly every time we spoke in person. she also began placing restrictions on me, strange things like pronouncing words a certain way or making sure to message her at least once a day. if i failed to comply, she would do one of two things. she'd either say something along the lines of "well i don't know if we can be friends then", or she'd begin to act all stubborn, start an argument and finally burst into tears and accuse me of going out of my way to start an argument. by the winter of that year, i had lost any and all feelings for her, and soon after i became more and more conscious of this behavior.

during the entire time, she often went to me for opinions when she had gotten into a disagreement with mark. usually it had something to do with a fact about mark that anybody who met him instantly knew. he basically had the personality of a surfer dude, rarely, if ever, showing any emotion other than mellow and content. this annoyed her to no end and made me wonder what the hell caused in initial attraction. but any time i tried to speak about anything else, i risked an argument starting. 

i did try to keep some resemblance of a friendship, but it was difficult. any time we would play a game, she got to decide what game, even if she let me pick, she'd decide she wanted to do something else after five minutes. any time i tried to have a conversation, she'd quickly change the topic. and any time i disagreed with her, even in passing, on a topic, she'd freak out, burst into tears then ban that topic from ever coming up again.

well eventually she started banning topics involving history, which is my passion, and i simply ran out of things to talk about with her. evidently she noticed and began pestering me to contact her more often and began to ask for me to come over for the first time in months. however, this time away from her allowed he to reflect on the past year and i realized something i already knew. any time i had an opinion on anything, i was wrong unless i was agreeing with something she had just said.  every time something went wrong, she blamed me. she had been constantly complaining that i wasn't "putting enough effort" into our friendship. any time she invited me over, she'd delay it, reschedule it and otherwise make it as big a hassle as possible for me to come. i realized these and many other things, so i simply stopped going out of my way to speak with her. this did not please julia.

one day, a few weeks before we would graduate and likely never see each other again, she invited me over. for the first time ever, i refused. mind you, i had good reason to, the nearly hour long drive to her home cost quite a bit in gas money, and my family was already struggling just to get my graduation gown. well she didn't take kindly to this and persisted, asking for me to reconsider as least once a day for the rest of the week. eventually the week ended and  the day she expected me over came and went. well that night she messaged me at two in the morning asking if i was sure i wanted to be friends. i responded that i was okay with remaining friends and it was at this that she began to act unreasonable. accusing me of trying to sabotage our friendship, of treating everyone like numbers, of being a lazy asshole etc etc etc. i refused to have any of it and simply told her that i wasn't willing to argue about this. eventually i'd had enough of her rambling and asked her to contact me when she was ready for a properly civil conversation. with that, i went offline. she continued sending messages for something like ten minutes after that. we scarcely spoke after that and even then i refused to say much more than a few words to her. finally we removed each other from skype and recently i realized that i had other people i associated with her on there as well and promptly removed them.

of the entire affair, i have two regrets that stick out to me. the first is spending so much money on her, i probably bought her a hundred bucks worth of various things. the other is that i allowed her to compromise my morals by letting her force me to always be nice to a man we both knew who used the fact that he was (allegedly) gay to grab womens breasts and vaginas without consent and enjoyed talking to everyone as if we were mere peasants compared to him. he also did things like tell rape jokes to rape victims and act surprised when they got upset. i was one of the few people who ever called him out when he did shit like that and she forced me to stop.

and that, my friends, is my story. i admit, i'm an asshole for some of the things i did, but unfortunately i cannot go back and prevent 16 year old me from kissing her. besides, i'm 18 now so it's best to look forward and not towards the past. sorry for the massive post time.

TIFU by having my first kiss
