Today, I hired out a motel room so I could stay there by myself and lie to my mother and grandmother about having friends. This is the third time. FML

Today, my boyfriend came to visit from another state. My mom didn't want me to go to his hotel, but I did. When she asked about it, I lied to her and said I didn't go. She the showed me a picture of my car outside his hotel. FML
Today, marks the third time this month my parents came to visit. I moved 5 hours away to get away from them. FML
Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML
Today, I had to clean out my room because I was having a sleepover. Only, I've not been in here for months since I've spent every night in my mom's room because I'm too scared to sleep alone. FML
Today, I got yelled at for staying in my room too long; got yelled at for going out of my room; got yelled at for staying at a friend's place. FML
Today, I walked around town by myself for four hours because I was too ashamed to tell my parents that I have no friends willing to spend time with me. FML
Today, my mom won't let me have the extra hotel room she booked all to myself, even though it's just me, her, and my sister. Basically I can share a room with her or with my sister, but I can't be alone. I'm 23. FML
Today, my parents tricked me by claiming we were going on holiday, but stopped at grandma"s first, "just to say hi", then left me there with my bags. They dumped me with grandma and went on holiday without me. FML

So get some, and stop wasting your money.

You have to stay out all night to prove you have friends? Wouldn't it be much cheaper to go to a movie and come home late?

What a ridiculous and expensive lie. Just be honest with them, then try and find some friends. It's not that hard, just takes a little courage.

Making friends is hard, usually.. Not everyone is sociable..
Sandman366 6
Yeah making friends isn't always easy, but if OP spent time near people instead of alone in a hotel room, it'd probably be easier...
I_iz_B_a_troll 23
Well I've come to enjoy not having friends, but I still hate the way my parents and other people expect me to be out there living life and partying, it only makes reality even more depressing :P if I had the money for a motel I might do the same.. Or just sleep in the car for the night. I think I know what I'm doing this weekend... ;)
lilhellian 26
I'll be y'alls friend!:D Yay for FML!
sens3sfailing 24

That is the definition of a one man wolf pack though.

41-"Today, I made a friend via FML. FML." Thread- I don't mind having few friends that I know well compared to thousands that I have to check a profile page for to remember their name. Its just...better.

I'm a pretty weird mofo myself, but the first thing I could tell you is that you need to find like-minded individuals. You don't want random jackass sons o' bitches as your friends; you want people that have your back and shit. Throwing money at a hotel won't get you anything but a drained wallet.

The easiest way to find friends for socially awkwards such as myself is; find other socially awkwards. After you find one socially awkward person, you can find many. Now go make friends.
False_Stupidity 41
Surely OP you must have a hobby of some sort, go join a club of like minded people, i'm sure they have things like that, even in Western Australia...

That's terrible. FYL

Ya but some people are just anti-social. Like I prefer my dog over my friends. It's odd, but eh everyone's different..

Well, you could just get some real friends and have an epic slumber party in a motel room, but I guess that's too simple huh?
emilyjgraham 34
It's not that simple actually. OP could be socially awkward. He may not have any connections in his life to be able to make friends. He may have tried to make friends but people may have disregarded him. Also, if he does find friends it doesn't necessarily mean they'll want to party.

Actually he could have a phobia. When you start going to great lengths to convince people you are normal, that is just how far outside of normal you are. You should probably be talking to someone about this, like yesterday.

Why does it matter if your parents think you have friends?
igive 29
Because they might feel obligated to set them up with people, which is worse.

Go to a bar or club. Interact with people and make friends.
kingsian 15
I was thinking the exact same thing!
lilhellian 26
But if he wants popcorn he would have to ask his parents to take a second mortage out on their house...

Bars and clubs are about the worst places to go if you want to interact with people, even if you already know them; you can barely see or hear them. If you don't already know them, there's basically no chance; maybe you can overcome shyness enough to say hello to a stranger once, but not enough times for them to actually hear you, or even if you do there's nothing to talk about.

Not all bars are loud. Just think of "Cheers". I bartend and will say it's a great place to socialize, even if you don't drink. I have lots of guests that only drink iced teas and order an appetizer or two. Bars are a great place to meet people from all walks of life. I rarely see guys "hook up" with the ladies but the bond between long term friends are tight! Even dance clubs have spots where you can go to get away from the loud music. (:

#55, I don't think so. Bartenders can barely stand to chat with me, much less other patrons. I usually go alone and I must give off this axe-murderer vibe. Oh, well.
Enslaved 36
Maybe you should stop wearing your "I come to get drunk and **** bitches" T-Shirt!
perdix 29
#67, shows how much you know. When I go to a bar, I don't even wear a shirt! (Could that be a problem?)
Enslaved 36
"We headed to the bar, baby don't be nervous No shoes, no shirt, and I still get serviced" I think you took that "Sexy and I Know It" song too close to heart. ;)
SillyGirl4602 23
55- I agree. The place I bartend is usually pretty quiet. I have a lot of bar regulars that became close friends with each other. Some bars are a great place to meet friends.

Look at the bright side. At least it's not the fourth time.

That is so sad

dude...wtf....come hang out with me!
Kingbreezy04 10
Yeah bro I'd hang out with you too.
FML_Whale 18
I'll hang out with myself.
False_Stupidity 41
I'd hang out... the laundry.
tacojauns 45
so you paid a hooker to be your friend in that motel room?
Catkam623 27
Just invite someone over. If she's female you might get lucky.
