Today, I checked my fake Facebook account for the first time in ages and realized that the "fake me" got more birthday greetings than the "real me." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was on Facebook when I saw a picture a popular girl I don't talk to had posted of her fake ID. She had used my full name and identical signature. FML
Today, I changed the date of my birthday to today on Facebook to see how many people actually know my birthday. My mom wished me a happy birthday. FML
Today, I found out that my mom uses my Facebook account more than I do. FML
Today, I made a fake Facebook account for a girl, and then set my relationship status to make it look like the fake person was my girlfriend. Someone found out and hacked the fake account. My fake girlfriend just dumped me over Facebook. FML
Today, my friends created a fake Facebook profile of a girl, and asked me to be in a relationship. Even my friends think I can't get a real girlfriend, and need a fake one to feel better. FML
Today, I got on Facebook and realized the only two friend requests I've had in 2 months are both from my parents. FML
Today, I got my first Facebook friend request in 4 months. I also got a message in my inbox. The message said: "Sorry, I thought you were someone else. Just ignore my friend request." FML
Today, I found out that the man I met online was a fake Facebook account, made by my daughter and her friends. FML
Today, I reactivated my Facebook account, having not used it for three months. My "friends" didn't realize this. According to their recent status updates, I'm disgustingly fat, have a hook nose, and I'm secretly hated. FML
Today, it's my birthday. The only "happy birthday"s I got were from my mom, her Facebook account, and the Facebook account she made for her cat. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I've never understood why people make a fake account.

They do it because they're annoying and idiotic. I like cake.

You should become good friends with the fake you. Then maybe you can become friends with his friends.

I dunno, if it was like a parody account (a friend of mine once made Ara Gorn) then fair enough, it's quite funny. If, however, it was a fake account of just a regular person, then it's just a bit sad really.

They make fake accounts to send themselves game requests maybe?
ScaughtieHolden 11
They don't have a lot of self confidence so they use someone else's identity so they can be praised for "their" good looks.
guckylynn 19
I know a lot of people who have fake accounts for game requests. I guess it's easier than bugging real people who get annoyed with all the requests.

YDI just for having a fake account.

Did you make yourself more likable on that Facebook?
Arrawyn 12
The fact that you made a fake face book account proves that you deserve any issues that involves that
MissNicky_fml 0
i just want to say i love your pic
Queen_Cosmos 7
Maybe OP was pretending to be some celebrity. So he probably had lots of "fans" wishing him a Happy Birthday.
AbbyAbyss 5
I thumbed up because of the pic!
xxblmpknxx 10
42- I (like many others) thumbed you down because that's dumb.
Angelwings31 4
Try to make more friends and be more social OP
Arrawyn 12
But seriously, just the fact that you made a fake account on Facebook proves that you deserved anything that involves it
Angelwings31 4
Some people tend to be extremely insecure about themselves and sometimes they need to build confidence but then again you don't know OP's circumstances.
UltimateGIRness 16
What's the point in a fake account
Michael_92 20
So you can have more fake friends.
_lilla_valora_ 7
usually they make fake accounts for games and other things like that so their actual facebook doesnt get all the game notifications ...
eddeeezzyy 19
I'll be honest (Idc if you guys thumb me down for this), but I have a fake Facebook account just to screw around and scam other people. Fake name and everything lol but I haven't been on it in a long time either
DomDomxoxo 16
When I was younger and stupider than now, I made one because my boyfriend wouldn't add the real me and I wanted to see what was going on in his profile. Very stupid and immature of me.
bluekid7 5
To be an attention *****
gracehi 33
I thought about doing that too to see if my (now ex) husband was cheating on me. I set up the fake account, but ended up not finishing the profile or following through with my plan. I don't think you were stupid or immature. You had doubts and wanted to find out if they were justified.
toelie 26
Whatever happened to talking to your partner to resolve trust issues?
gracehi 33
Tried that. Talking to someone you don't trust about trust issues doesn't help. "Hey, I've noticed you go out all night every night and deliberately ignore my calls and pay no attention to me any more. What's up with that?" "Don't worry about that, baby. You know I love you." Yeah. Not comforting.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
Trolling, spying, etc.
toelie 26
#53 It might not get you a confession, but if you don't trust your partner and talking doesn't fix it that is when you break up with them. I'd never spy on my partner or even consider doing so. If I didn't trust him I wouldn't be with him.
laden_swallow09 35
53 - Of course isn't comforting. Not getting straight answers is when you break it off. That's what talking is for!

So true.

I am blinded by the trueness of your comment. I like cake.
Amethyst888 14
26- You don't have to say you like cake every single time you comment, we get the point, cake is delicious and you like it!

Edit, this was meant as a reply to #7 I have a fake account because half the websites you go to these days have a sign in with Facebook account, or you can only join if you have Facebook or Twitter. They then say they will then have access to you newsfeed and friends lists. Also I don't want everyone knowing what article I have read and other things. I just want to be able to keep up with family and friends, not share every website I go to. It's just easier than trying to get the privacy settings right. What I can't understand is why I get friend requests for that account. I just have a drawing I did as the picture, but there is nothing interesting about it.

There is no purpose of a fake account YDI OP.
onlychildFTW 34
This fake account thing seems useless. YDI. But I also think Facebook is a waste of time anyways. So I'm kinda biased.

The fact that you have a "fake me" means you deserve it
KSG472 3
You're face is fake. Do you deserve it?

You know a birthday also means you're one year closer to being old

You know dropping something also means that you'll have to pick it up. You sir, are the captain of obviousness.

Sometimes people make funny facebook accounts, but making one and not using it is stupid.
