Today, I was wearing my yoga pants for my boyfriend. He's infatuated with them. He claims they make my ass look nice. I found out it's because I constantly get a camel toe, and it gives him a semi every time he sees it. I found this out by listening to him and his father at dinner. FML

Today, I realised just how lonely I am. After using Tinder for about a week, I got my first match. I said hi while I was in class since I was excited, but by the time I'd gotten back home, she'd unmatched me. I've never felt so hurt by a complete stranger before. FML

Today, I was interacting with someone on a video game, and the topic somehow got switched to mental illness. When I told him about my problems, he was very sympathetic and understanding. A complete stranger cares more about me than my actual family. I'm not sure if I should be happy or crying. FML

Being 24 doesn't mean she can't hate being yelled at. 🤷

It's kinda disrespecting to yell at an adult. I mean...it's also disrespecting against a child but they are annoying and also need to learn the uselessness of yelling. But yelling at an adult is just inefficient communication and never helps.

She needs to be yelled at for her poor usage of "literally." Also, what a weird disease to choose. Mercury poisoning is usually a slow, chronic and progressive disease that occurs over years.

No, that's slow, too. Food poisoning would be better as it happens quickly and has relatable symptoms.

why are you even yelling at your adult daughter? even if she lives at home she should be communicated with and respected as an adult

She should be respected as a human beanbag. no matter their age. I have no idea why parents thing yelling at and/or hitting kids is ok. They are their own persons, not mini-mes parents can treat any way they want.

I'm going to assume 'human beanbag' was an autocorrect but thank you so much for the best laugh I needed today. Also, beanbag or not, you are correct. Yelling at adults serves no purpose and never solves the issue on the table anyway.

Today, I feel like I'm going crazy as I'm in a 2-year relationship with a guy who's 17 years older than me (I'm 23). He's a wonderful partner and I'm totally in love, but the age gap causes monthly, sometimes daily, shifts between wanting to have it all with him, and wanting to leave him. FML
