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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Shyness can be addressed through therapy. Get some professional help. No matter how well intentioned, your mom's efforts will not address the real problem.

I know how you feel OP. I am shy too but not as much as I used to be. It can all depend on a variety of factors. I for example, used to be bullied by the neighborhood kids (emotionally only though) and spent 2 years of my childhood inside on the computer. The only friends I had were at school until a new family moved next door and me and her siblings turned out to be really good friends. It's hard for someone that is shy to get out of their comfort zone, because we constantly think of how other strangers would judge us. It's because we aren't comfortable with ourselves, first. For me, anyway.

I actually met my best friend online. she messaged me and we hit it off. You just have to fight your fear and try to talk to people. I don't have many friends because I'm quiet and reserved, but I'm slowly getting better.

It's okay I was so shy and friendless too but then I used my anxiety and fear and shyness as adrenalin to drive me to meet new people you can do the same thing just use your shyness to talk to people I hope that helped
