Same thing different taste

Today, I told a co-worker to "lighten up, and stop wearing black all the time, it makes you look depressed." I didn't know his father had died the week before. FML

Today, I tried to tell my dad that I was really struggling with my mental health and didn't think I could stay alive much longer. He laughed. This comes after telling my "best friend" last week and having to wait three days for a reply. FML

Empathy lives

Today, my mom walked in on me crying in my room and yelled at me for being a "weak little crybaby." I’d just found out my best friend died in a car accident. When I told my mom that, she said, "Does it look like I fucking care?" FML

Miscommunication

By kay-z - 21/06/2014 20:32 - United States

Today, my dad heard that the guy who bullied me at school died recently of a drug overdose. For some reason, he thinks we were actually best friends, and thinks I'm doing drugs too. I'm now not allowed out of the house except to go to school. He won't listen to a word I say. FML

Today, I confided to my dad that since the recent breakup with my boyfriend of 3 months, I feel down all the time and life doesn't feel worth living anymore. His loving advice was for me to "grow the fuck up and get your sentimental head out of la-la land." FML

Yeah, the Glee dude died. I'm sure your friend was an OK person, but he couldn't hold a candle to the Glee dude!

#16, actually, I shouldn't. Obviously, I'm making a joke to a total stranger and the dad is serious to his own flesh and blood. I don't know how you can even compare us!

What a disgusting and ignorant remark; for so many reasons. There is no comparison in human suffering.

I hate it when people say that. "Oh you shouldn't feel bad because people are starving in the world." That, in no way, directly affects me or anyone in my life and how they feel, and its stupid and insensitive to say things like that when you have no idea what someone is going through.

It seems your dad is lacking sympathy and more importantly, empathy. Sorry for your loss OP.

Your father acted in a very rude way. He should have known that your friend was important to you. Sorry for your loss, OP.

I am sympathetic, but from your wording, maybe you were talking about it too much or too long to someone who isn't empathetic. Try a different shoulder to lean on. Your dad could be in his own crisis that he has shielded you from. I know I will get downvoted here--just trying to see both sides.

I'm sorry OP but your dad is very inconsiderate! People deal with death in so many different ways and the amount of time can't really be determined.

Today, I got questioned by the police. Last night I was at a party when a bully of a kid who happened to be an aspiring MMA coach and local fighter was picking on me, stole my alcohol and threw me out of the party. I heard he got stabbed by someone else he was picking on after I left. The police insist it was me. FML

Today, my mother, who thinks I'm a virgin, called me while I was having sex with my boyfriend. I have to answer every time she calls or she freaks out. I ended the conversation quickly and hung up. Or so I thought. She listened in to the rest of our 20-minute lovemaking session, and I have some explaining to do. FML
