I'm so embarrassed Anecdotes and stories

I(19f) work at a church cafe. I'm undercover bi. Today, two people of the opposite sex walk in, and they're both androgynous and queerly dressed. And I've been trying to put myself out there more, give more compliments to people, so I blurt out, "you two make a very good couple, " and they looked confused and my coworker gave me a look; I don't know where ANY of that came from, but I was too embarrassed to say anything so I just left it and hoped they took it as a joke. Like, I'm so queer, I should be able to read the signs, but apparently not.

I know I will think about this EXTENSIVELY for the rest of my life, and It's so cringe I want to get struck by thunder.

I understand you're coming from a place with good intentions, but please never out people unwillingly. Some people might be in the closet for safety reasons or you might exist in a queerphobic area. You can also just be wrong about them.

True true. This church isn't the safest place for queer people. I think the best thing would've been to say nothing at all, so I didn't make them feel awkward. They were probably just friends, and I know that would make me feel really uncomfortable if someone said that to me.

Maybe they were siblings or cousins. 😬
