Today, I woke up realizing that not even the scammer that I told I would pay for her friendship wanted to be my friend. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my best friend told me she didn't want to be my friend anymore, because she wanted to start afresh in college and have pretty friends. FML
Today, I realized one of my best friends was only friends with me because I would take her shopping, spoil her regularly, and help her out financially. She moved to another province and only contacted me whenever she wanted money. After I refused a couple of times, she deleted me on Facebook. FML
Today, I got scammed and lost thousands of dollars, but my best friend would rather post on Instagram than reply to my texts. FML
Today, I found out that my closest friend of many years had been putting on a charade of being my friend, and has decided that they can't be bothered with the effort of me existing any more. FML
Today, I found out my parents paid my "best friend" to be my friend for the past 7 years. She's my only friend too. FML
Today, I agreed to help a "friend" again, after only finding out yesterday she'd been lying to me. FML
Today, I discovered that the five-star meal that my friend treated me to last night was actually meant to be repayment of the $200 I loaned her last month. I needed that money for bills and she refuses to give me another cent. FML
Today, and for the past 2 years, my aunt has owed me money. She just admitted that she fell for a scam, and gave the scammer more than double the amount I'd loaned her. I felt bad for her… until I realized something. When I asked how she had it to give to them, but not to pay me back, she got mad and hung up on me. FML
Today, I found out that the $200 I reluctantly gave to my mother so she could rent a house was paid to a scammer. Now she wants to live with me, in my one bedroom apartment. FML
Today, I spent a lot of money buying a birthday gift for a close friend, only to find out I'm not even invited to the party. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What are you into? Try joining online groups. For example, I’ve met some pretty cool people playing Clash of Clans and Call of Duty Mobile. We hang out, chat, bitch about life, etc, like normal people do. It takes a bit of time to build these little relationships with internet strangers, but you get to have fun playing some games while you’re casually getting to know people. If games aren’t your thing, you could try Meetup groups. It was easier pre-COVID, but there may be groups that meet virtually for whatever interest you may have (gaming, movies, books, music, whatever). I haven’t looked into this, but it’s possible some groups even have socially distanced hikes or bonfires or things like that. I would also suggest trying to be polite and confident. If people are meeting you but genuinely don’t want to be your friend for whatever reason, you could be a factor. No offense at all. I, for example, was too needy and demanding and learned to dial it back and chill out more, as well as have more of a filter when I spoke, and people have responded well. And I grew confidence so the cycle seemed to feed itself to where it was easier to meet and get to know people. It also helps to ask people about themselves/their day/whatever and listen when they respond. Little stuff like that. I’m sorry you’re having trouble making friends - it can be tough as an adult, and doubly (infinitely?) so in a pandemic. But you can do it! Good luck!! 😃😃❤️😊

Probably because she's a scammer

You haven't paid her enough. In fact, you're just paying her to pretend to be your friend.

Hey, I can be your friend. One month free trial, then you can buy me a beer if you want.

I’ll be your friend.

idk... if some rando says they'll pay for my friendship, I'm always gonna think they'll have ulterior motives and they'll feel like they own you so you have to do what they want, even creepy stuff.

Is she really a scammer if you offered to pay her? Sounds more like a business transaction. Why not try therapy instead?
