Miscellaneous: Pick me up

Pick me up

By Ugh - 15/11/2009 17:55 - United States

Today, I was really depressed so I talked on the phone with my best friend. She was telling me how a guy she really liked complimented her. I told her it was be nice to get at least one compliment. After a long silence she says, "You're really good with computers." FML

Today, my girlfriend was upset, so I tried to cheer her up by telling her how much I love her and how beautiful she is. After a minute, her face started to light up. I thought it had worked until I realized that she was being cheered up by the friends she was talking to online. FML

Today, I had a long, meaningful telephone conversation. After hanging up, I realized I hadn't had such a great conversation in a long time. Who was it with? The Dell Customer Support guy. FML

Today, I was snuggling in bed with my girlfriend. She was depressed, so I complimented her strong legs, saying they were "like a horse." I spent the next hour and a half trying to stop her crying. FML

Today, my friend needed to talk out bad feelings. Then she urged me to open up as well. I hate doing it, but it only seemed fair, so I confessed my deep insecurities. Not only did she agree with everything, but she also helpfully added that I'm boring, have no life and all my dreams are unattainable. FML

Today, I was talking to a female friend online. She was typing out a story bit by bit about how awful she was feeling after being teased. I was responding with "So, so true" but because of my slow typing it appeared after she wrote, "Doesn't help being fat." FML

The one with the phone addiction

By Anonymous - 29/06/2019 05:15

Today, after feeling like I've been sucking as a friend and contacting a friend who has called me their best friend, but doesn't talk to me much, we grabbed a coffee. The whole time I was trying to have a conversation, she was on her phone. FML

Today, I realized the only reason my phone ever rings is because someone needs help with their computer. FML

Today, I sent out a text saying "Smile! You're beautiful and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." to most of my contacts. I got one reply, from my best friend, saying, "Are you fucking stupid?" FML

Today, my best friend told me I'm the friend who no one really likes. This was after I had bought her lunch, ice cream, and a ticket to a movie we were going to see that day. FML

This. So your friend was in a good mood and you decided to bring her down. Well done! I hate self absorbed whiny bitches. This wouldn't of happened if you were a good friend, or if you weren't a moaning attention seeker. That's what you get.

A person with low self-esteem can't help but fish. We need something to convince us we're not worthless.

Even if she had given you a good compliment it wouldn't matter because you had to beg for it -_- And wow, I just noticed that... you're a MAN. Grow a pair already.

#6, I agree with what you said, fishing for compliments is never an appealing trait, but just because OP is a man doesn't mean he can't be insecure. Insecurity doesn't have a gender, and everyone deserves to be supported through it :).

So she's complimenting your skills and you're still whining? There's no help for you if you can't even see what you have. You have a friend that tries to cheer you up at least. By the way "it was be nice" doesn't make sense.
