Today, I asked my mom why nobody likes me. She reeled off about a dozen reasons. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Thanks Mom
Today, I was feeling really depressed and ended up asking my mom why guys aren't interested in me. She replied with a laundry list of reasons, including, "Hair. Boobs. Face. Everything." FML
Is she Julia Stiles?
Today, I asked a girl out. She sent me a whole list of reasons that she hated me. FML
Today, my mom said that if I wasn't her daughter, she probably wouldn't even like me. 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, my mother asked me why I disliked her and my father's nakedness in the family pool. FML
Today, I told my mom that I was taking antidepressants because I hate myself. She said "That's not surprising. You hate everybody. And, you're kind of a bitch." FML
Today, my 5-year-old daughter said "Mommy, why doesn't anyone wanna marry you?" I've been asking myself the same question for all too many years. FML
Today, my mom duly informed me I'm the reason people have middle fingers. FML
Today, I asked my mum why she never had any children after me. She scoffed and asked if I've looked in a mirror lately. FML
Today, I approached my mother for comfort, because I've been feeling depressed and unloved by anyone lately. She replied, “Honestly, I stopped loving you back when you were a toddler.” FML

Because you ask questions and get mad when people answer them honestly?

Nobody is as real as parents. They compliment you behind your back (sometimes) and talk shit to your face!

Instead of trying to find negative points about you, try to concentrate on the positive ones. You got answers for the question you asked. As her what she likes about you, and you will see the answers are different. I always tell my turtles I like their determination in progressing, and not that they are slow.

Don't ask a question if you can't handle the answer. FYL though.

Well... At least she's honest. And maybe you could possibly work on some if those things she mentioned

Okay, so now you know she's brutally honest. If you really do have social problems (which is fairly common) at least you've got a parent willing to help you work on them. Some are obvious, like if she said you don't use enough deodorant or brush your teeth often enough. Switching to a stronger brand, brushing more often or effectively, you don't need help with that. But what about the things you CAN change? An annoying laugh, standing too close to others, interrupting them when they speak (a common flaw for guys!), being too loud or mumbling, that sort of thing? Maybe just needing help carrying on a conversation? Either ask your mom for specific advice on how to improve one of the things you want to work on, or ask a teacher (we get this sort of question fairly regularly, actually!!!), a friend's parents, that sort of thing. Get some adult guidance or the guidance of someone who has good talent in that area. Life is growth and improvement. Don't change who you are, but polish it! It's like shaving for a date (guys) or putting on makeup for one (girls). Your family and close friends might never care, but if you want to expand your circle of friends, you need to make yourself sparkle a bit. It might be chewing with your mouth closed, or altering your facial expression to make it more clear that you are an attentive listener, but you can do it. Your mom listed your faults? Ask her what to do about them.

Agreed wholeheartedly. While I don't believe anyone should change who they fundamentally are just to fit in or be popular, most people could stand to improve on their social graces, grooming habits, and style. As you gain those qualities, you will gain confidence, and confidence attracts people, both in friendship and in romantic interests.

I have an obnoxiously loud laugh and I've tried to change it but if I find something genuinely funny it comes out anyways. A laugh should not have been listed under things OP can change. OP can change a million things about herself but that still doesn't mean everyone will like her. Some people just never will and she should respect her mothers honesty.

Look, another person who answered that question way better than the parents did. Lol I completely agree!

You know, it seems harsh and I'd probably say FML too. But I think this a gift for you. At least you know what you can change about yourself then enjoy the results of said change.
