I got caught shoplifting today. I haven’t done it before, but money is really tight and I needed something to eat. The man working there caught me doing it, and it was so terrifying. I was so scared that this one f*** up was gonna mess up my life.
He let me off, though. He asked if I was hungry and didn’t have money to buy food. I tried to say I was fine, and just put the stuff back and leave, but he said “I don’t know why you’d be stealing this if you weren’t hungry,” and insisted on buying it for me. He was so kind, and it was a miracle. He told me that everyone makes mistakes and that times are hard, and to go back to the store and ask for him if I needed food again. I know he did me a HUGE favor tonight, and I don’t plan to make this mistake again, but I still feel like absolute s***. I’m so ashamed I feel like I can’t even eat the food he bought me. I never want to show my face in that store again. This isn’t who I am, and I don’t know what I was thinking. I hate myself so much right now and I just want it to stop.
I’m not looking for anyone to say I didn’t f*** up. But I’m not gonna do it again. I really wish I could talk to someone about this but no one I know would understand, and I’m so ashamed.

I used to go online, find girls to have online relations with. I was a teenager. It started from the start of high school, when I was 15. At worst was F, that was my bottom barrel. It was gross. I don’t know how old she was but she was younger. It was near the end, during the pandemic. I was older, she was younger. I don’t know how much younger, but I was 16 I think. She was younger. Like 2 or 3 years younger, I dunno? It was gross of me. I regret doing it but I fear my regret isn’t because of how I hurt someone, took advantage. They were ok with it in the moment, we were both on the same hookup site. But I was gross. No question about it. There was T too but that was a 16-18 age gap. I deleted the accounts. I was just gross.
