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

LOL ... that was a jesture to bail out from the awkward moment that you created for her. Get a grip and get a life.

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.

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.

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.

People that fish for compliments deserve to be punched in the throat.

Today, I hinted like mad for my friend to compliment me. she complimented me. FML.
que?

I thought that this meant that the OP had said that it would be nice to get one compliment not meaning she wanted one herself, and the fact the friend couldn't come up with one was upsetting.

well your frend gave you a comliment && thats an FML have a lil kidcall yo preggo and your not://

While you put her on the spot with your complaint, she's kind of a lame "best" friend if that's the best compliment she could come up with.

That's in the eye of the beholder, actually.
In a group of people that value being technically well-versed it would in fact be a good compliment. In a group of sorority chicks that only talk about make-up, fashion and guys all day and think everyone good with computers is a friendless dork - not so much.

YDI for being a moron and your life ended with a compliment.
Seriously what the fuck is wrong with your logic?

I love it when people go fishing for compliments and reel in an old boot covered in seaweed.
I'll bet you plugged your friend's printer in and correctly connected the USB cable, and from this stroke of genius you were deemed to be "good with computers."
On the other hand, she could have said, "Well,. . . you're dick is not THAT small."
I apologize. I screwed up.
That last line was an edit, and I was under the pressure of the two-minute window. Thanks for pointing out my error. I stand corrected.
I understand completely. Two minutes is never enough time to edit a comment! Especially when the site is slow to load.
"I was really depressed so I talked on the phone-" NO! FAIL! NEVER do that. Nobody wants to hear that you are depressed. It is neither interesting nor helpful to know such things. No one cares.
It's better than putting it in your facebook status and not having a best friend to call.
Yes, I know someone who does that consistently.

Actually true friends very much care if a friend is hurting. True and lasting relationships aren't built by being superficial with one another.
#32 - On 11/15/2009 at 4:22pm by Jewelofagal
I second this. Except with an apostrophe in "that's", a "c" instead of an "x" in actually, and a space between "at" and "least".
#43 - On 11/15/2009 at 8:09pm by 12345678dance
Were you fishing for compliments? Maybe the OP just said that without wanting one. What probably made it awkward or an FML was that his friend thought she was obliged to compliment him, and that's all she could come up with. Which is sad. And a potential FML (if there is such a background).
WOW -> I just analyzed an FML. FML?

#39 I'm the OP and yes your right. Except no i wasn't fishing for compliments it just came out like that. Maybe subconsciously I was fishing but i didn't mean to. Sad thing is I don't really know much about computers. If its any better for you guys she's always fishing for complements around me. I always come up with nice stuff for her. This is the first time I'd ever done anything like that. And we're the kinda best friends that tell each other everything. I've known her for a long time.

The point is not to be interesting, it's to make the depressed person feel better. Hopefully a halfway decent friend would care if you're depressed.
But really, I don't get why this is an FML. You asked for a compliment, you got one. Upset because it's not what you wanted to hear? o_o
'True friends' (or good people for that matter) don't go out of there way to bring someones mood down.
#45 - On 11/15/2009 at 8:24pm by AtoZnumbersand_
If she had to try that hard to find something positive about you, why are you even friends with her?
fishing for compliments is really annoying. by the way, i'm so ugly. don't you guys think i'm ugly? what!!! you think i'm gorgeous!!! babers, YOU'RE the gorgeous one.
You really don't know how to take a compliment, do you? You're just too egotistical for your own good. Let me know when you get off your cloud and decide to live back down here on the ground. Until then...

I like how, because you were disappointed that your friend said you were good with computers, you ran to one, went to this site, and told the computer what was bothering you instead. Your friend's observant.
