I had a really awkward conversation and suffered the consequences.

r/

So, I 19m am part of a group project as part of a group assignment. I basically saw one of my group members, 18f, post on her story her at a party with two people I thought I recognised from high school right, as the two little sisters of two guys I had known. The story is that one of the guys I had known had dated one of the girls I thought I had recognised, with the girl having an older brother I also knew. This guy had been less than appropriate we could say with the gf of the older brother, who then proceeded to do nothing. After this right, he started dating the guy’s little sister. I brought this up to her just to make conversation, turns out I had completely confused those two people, and I had no idea who they actually where, it came off as extremely awkward and I was promptly removed off her follower list. In retrospect I think if that person from the post was actually who I thought it was it wouldn’t have made it any better. I have to see this person for the next 7 weeks until this assignment is finished. FML.

    A lesson that young people must learn the hard way sometimes. You’ll be fine. Just stick to the assignment and pretend like nothing happened.

    Just say you mistook the people. They look alike and you thought you knew them. Apologize if you feel you need to. Then move on and don’t bring it up

    Don’t apologize for trying to look out for someone’s safety. Say it was a mistake and you were doing your best to make her aware of a situation that could impact her safety
    As a woman who’s been sexually assaulted? Do not apologize please and thank you for trying to keep her safe < 3

    You didn’t do anything wrong, it was totally unnecessary of her to remove you from her follow list as if you did smth bad

    I think you had good intentions, just next time confirm that it was the same person, “Hey do you also know _____? No? Okay, never mind”

    Stay in your lane. Too much time on your hands stirring the shit pot. Good lesson learned. Keep to your own and mind your own.

    Don’t gossip with anyone but your close friends. We all love gossip but hate gossipers, so it’s something you should only do with people who already know and love you. The only time you gossip to someone who isn’t a friend, it needs to be juicy, way juicier than someone dating someone’s sister, and you need to be 110% sure you have the info correct.

    As someone who’s been sexually assaulted?
    To anyone who says stay in your lane?
    It isn’t his problem?
    That he shouldn’t have said something?
