Today, I discovered how pathetically introverted I am when during a car ride with my family, I said, "I really like this song" and my parents gasped because they didn't realize I was in the back seat. And I'm their only child. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, while riding on the car with my family, I put on my headphones and pretended to be listening to music and when my parents talked to me, I pretended I couldn't hear them. They took this opportunity to discuss how fat I was and how I can't hold down a boyfriend. They were laughing as well. FML
Today, I was singing and drumming on the steering wheel in my car while stuck in traffic, only to realize the car next to me was full of my carpooling coworkers, all staring at me in disbelief. They spent the day at the office requesting songs. FML
Today, my teenage daughter came out into the living room and began belting out a song. When I cleared my throat, she screamed, turned beet red, and said, “I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE!” She’d been hiding all day, and to say I'm judging her would be an understatement. FML
Today, I had to listen to my mom give a detailed description of her date last night to her friends via speakerphone... while I was trapped in the car with her. When I pointed out that I was still in the back seat, she scoffed and told me, "I have a sex life, deal with it." FML
Today, I was singing loudly in my car at a red light, completely oblivious. When I finished the song, I turned to see a bus full of passengers watching (and also some of them filming) my performance. FML
Today, I tried to overcome my shyness by warmly greeting the bus driver while entering it. I instead blurted out really loudly the words of the song my iPod was playing. FML
Today, I was listening to music with headphones in my usually quiet class. At one point I really got into the song so I just quietly sang along because why not. Turns out by the end of the song I was singing at full volume, almost yelling, and my friend stopped me to say that. The entire back row was laughing. FML
Today, my Mom was gushing to a relative about going to see a very famous singer with my sister while we were at dinner. I smiled politely, until the relative asked why I wasn’t going. I felt too embarrassed to admit I hadn’t been asked, despite having the money, so I awkwardly made something up. FML
Today, my roommate eavesdropped on me singing. When I realized he was there, he said I was "fucking incredible" and asked me to do another song. There's just one issue: I only sing well when I'm alone. The result was predictably bad. If it was possible to literally die of embarrassment, I wouldn't be writing this. FML
Today, I got caught singing '80s hair metal love ballads to myself in the car by the object of my affection. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

PS don't fall asleep in the backseat. When you wake up you might realize you missed the entire car trip.

That happened to me once. I was sitting in the back seat waiting for everybody, and it turned out they took the other car and didn't notice.

***but what does pathetically introverted mean. I'm just helping you out, hon.

Introverted == shy. Shy is not wanting to, or feeling ashamed or nervous to talk to someone. Introverts can be shy, but all introverted means is they don't like a lot of stimulation. Whether it be from noise or social activities.

== should be =/= sorry

An introverted person prefers being alone to being with others. They often feel uncomfortable on large groups. While extroverts strive in large groups or with attention on them, introverts are more introspective and therefore quieter. Introverts don't do well presenting for groups, or working in large groups. Many are also shy.

Dude. You have Internet. Empower yourself.

Recognizing it is the first step, Op. If that's something you want to change about yourself, time to put yourself social activities. Sign up at a gym with a coach, or enroll in dance, martial arts, heck even a chess or art club! Easy to say, just increase your social activities, harder to do, and ultimately, worth it in the end. Find something you enjoy, do it, and you'll have something to share socially with like minded people. :) Cheers!

There is nothing pathetic about being introverted.

Agreed. And there's a big difference between being introverted and being socially inept.
