Today, I am so shy and friendless that my mother is literally setting up a play-date with one of her friend's daughters. I'm 25 years-old and this is my best chance at making a friend. FML

Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML
Today, I realized the only reason my mom trusts me to stay home alone for long periods of time is because I don't have enough friends to throw a party. FML
Today, I'm so hopelessly lonely that I've agreed to meet up with my ex for some semblance of friendship. FML
Today, I'm a 19 year-old college student in NYC, it's Friday night and I'm sitting alone on my bed in my dorm room, talking to my mother on Facebook. Then she stopped responding. Turns out even my mother has better things to do on Friday night. FML
Today, my mom asked all the old ladies in her church to pray that I meet "someone special". FML
Today, I woke up to an email confirming my membership to a dating site. Turns out my mother is as annoyed by my loveless life as I am. FML
Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML
Today, I live with my mother and realized she goes out with her friends and dates more times a week than I do in a single month. FML
Today, a friend of mine came to my house with tears in her eyes. I thought she was finally single so I could ask her out. Actually, her mother found out she was dating a girl, so she wants me to be her fake boyfriend as a cover-up. At least we're "dating" now. FML
Today, my mom friended all my friends on Facebook then thought it'd be a good idea to try and act like a teen so she'd be considered 'cool'. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Some of the best relationships start as friendships in the sandbox throwing sand in each other's faces and screaming "No, YOU are a poopyhead!" Don't forget to put on a clean diaper first, and bring an extra juice box for her. Chicks dig that. Good luck.

It's incredibly frustrating being shy. I still am myself so I know how hard it can be. I hope it goes well for you, OP and that it will help you build up more confidence.

It's just not that easy for someone who is shy, or has social anxiety, to introduce themselves and chat up someone they have never met.

Speeking from my experience you could use some social lube (alcohol). Just don't over do it. :)

18- It's not that easy to just "change". People who are shy aren't that way because they *chose* to be. I'm very shy and find it hard to make friends, but that's not because I've chosen to stay this way. It's actually incredibly frustrating but difficult to break out of.

We don't necessarily need many friends, just a few close friends are enough. Hope the "play date" could become one of those for you!

Friends came come from many different places, you never know how it will turn out.
