Today, after finding out that I would never be able to move my dominant arm again, I decided to talk to my best friend about it because it was getting to me. She responded with, "It really bugs me that you made this conversation all about you." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after my therapist told me I should open up to my friends more, I sent a message to a pen-pal and told her that I had asked for and found help with my postpartum troubles. She replied that I'm a bad friend for "always burdening her with my problems." FML
Today, my friend needed to talk out bad feelings. Then she urged me to open up as well. I hate doing it, but it only seemed fair, so I confessed my deep insecurities. Not only did she agree with everything, but she also helpfully added that I'm boring, have no life, and all my dreams are unattainable. FML
Today, I finally shared some of my insecurities and difficulties I’m experiencing with a close friend. The response was great, they listened, and gave advice. Later I met another friend, who said that they’re here for me. Everyone was just trying to help, but now almost everyone I know knows. I feel worse than before. FML
Today, I had to have a very difficult and awkward conversation with my best friend about her fiancé hitting on me. She seemed completely unfazed and ended up admitting that a three-way with me was actually her idea, but she didn't want to "weird me out" by asking me about it. FML
Today, I was talking to my best friend about how much of an asshole my ex-boyfriend is. After about 2 hours of non-stop bitching, it turns out she's actually dating him. FML
Today, while I was explaining my troubles to my therapist, he asked me, "And don't you have someone you can tell all that?" FML
Today, I told my girlfriend about a huge fight I had with my female best friend. This friend no longer wants anything to do with me, and I was obviously upset about it. Instead of being supportive, all my girlfriend said was, "Well maybe now you'll shut the fuck up about her for once." FML
Today, I was complaining to my friend how I was doing all the work in my group, and that they were getting all the credit. Her response? "It's OK, you're doing a shitty job anyway." FML
Today, my friend, knowing my mental health is really bad right now, decided to yell out the fact I have an eating disorder, and how she never sees me eat ever, then started to talk about self-harm and how she would never do it despite what she has gone through. All while side-eyeing me when talking to other people. FML
Today, after feeling like I've been sucking as a friend and contacting a friend who has called me their best friend, but doesn't talk to me much, we grabbed a coffee. The whole time I was trying to have a conversation, she was on her phone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Drop the 'best' part. Actually, drop the 'friend' part.

Well, I mean, you are kinda venting to her about your personal issue, so basically you are talking to her about yourself. She should be more of an understanding friend. And respectful.

Gotta hand it to her, that was a really awful thing to say to a troubled friend.

Aww. I'm sorry to hear that OP. Some people just lack a normal amount of empathy

We're you talking about how much of a bitch she is before the topic moved to your life changing injury? I'm sure that's how you made the convo all about you right OP?

How is it that, as a stranger, I'm more interested in your problem than she is. :|

Your friend is insensitive might need a new one. But, if she was going through a rough time too den, f both of ur life's.

I bet your "friend" is the type who makes everything about her, and she's projecting that on to you.

I'm sorry. I lost most of my range in my left arm from shattering it (elbow and all)

She doesn't sound like much of a friend to me. A true friend is always willing to listen and has your back no matter what. I'm really sorry about your arm and wish you all the best.

Has no one considered that OP and the best friend were in the middle of a conversation where the best friend was discussing her issues when OP decided to change the subject? At least that how I read it.

If that's how you read it, you should consider re-reading it.
