Today, I dyed my hair back to pastel pink, which it hasn't been in over a year. It goes well with my skin and I was super excited about it so I decided to Snapchat my friend about it. Her response? "You were thinner last time your hair looked like that." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after growing my hair out for over a year and constantly being told that it makes me look like a girl, I finally cut it. The first thing my friends said when they saw me was that I now look like a "lesbian." FML
Today, I let my friend who is in 'beauty school' do my hair. I now look like i have a mullet. What was supposed to be auburn highlights is now hot pink. I have a job interview in the morning. FML
Today, I had my hair done for the first time in 3 years. I loved it. My boyfriend told me I look like his ex. FML
Today, I sent my friend a Snapchat without any makeup on. She asked what filter I used, because it made my face look all red and blotchy. FML
Today, my friend sent me a weird selfie in black and white. I sent one back, and she said I looked like an 80s porn star. It was funny, but then three of my friends had the same reaction. I didn't even look good in the picture. FML
Today, I got a haircut for the first time in almost a year. I thought it looked really nice and made me look good. On my way to CVS, I ran into one of my friends. He examined me and said, "You look... like a crack whore." FML
Today, I decided to dye my hair to freshen up my appearance. I asked my husband for his opinion, expecting him to recommend a color. He then asked me why going on a diet wasn't my first option. FML
Today, my best friend told me I lost weight. I was happy because I've worked hard to shed off those pounds. I asked her what changes were evident, she told me that I now have a neck. FML
Today, I got to see my best friend for the first time in months. Her first reaction was to say, "Wow, you gained a lot of weight." I actually lost a fair bit. FML
Today, I was at the hairdresser's getting a trim. The lady doing my hair commented on how beautiful and luscious my hair was, which made me feel really good. I later overheard her telling her colleague that hair as nice as mine was wasted on someone with a face like mine. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

you are not obligated to stay friends with someone who makes you feel like crap regardless of the time you've known each other. Don't answer the phone

That's not your friend

-sigh- Okay boys, girls, all things in between, and judgemental trolls imma slap some edjumacation (education) on y'all. People who have judgemental crappy people in their social circle tend to become effected by that influence become self conscious and defensive (unaware) of comments. Especially what most call "constructive critism" which is usually thinly valed asshatery. So try to look at it from another perspective. Secondly, and most importantly, stop assuming she's a 350lb person of Walmart just because her "friend" is one of those people who can't seem to say nice things (see on going issue comment). Lastly, everybodies body needs are different. You can have two people whom are the same height and same sex but have one be healthier at a different weight than the other due to structural and genetic differences. If ya need to troll smartly kiddies.

So you'll attack people making snide comments on the internet yet make a reference to the characters of Walmart as if those aren't equal human beings that don't deserve snide comments on their appearance. If you want to troll, don't be a hypocrite.

#30: - Sigh! - You're assuming a lot of facts not yet in evidence (or proven) eg, 350# shopper. Also, your trolling comments/ "expertness"on said subject/ compassion suffer even more when you're unable to use a dictionary or thesaurus.

She simply stated an observable fact. If you choose to get hung up on that, then you perceive it to be a negative thing that you are slightly heavier. Making you the one with the problem. Now you want to blame her for your issues? Nice.

#46: There's also that old rule of etiquette that states: if you can't say something nice about somebody, then don't say anything at all.

Shame. I thought we might be related!

jbuckets_404 is right. Basically as a comeback saying her friend is ugly and there's nothing she can do about it. I'm actually quite surprised this went over so many people's heads.

Are you by any chance a feminist, OP?

I don't think your friend was trying to be rude. I think she was just saying that it looked better the first time and not so much now. She wasn't nasty about it, my friends and I are honest with each other. It's all about the wording, she never mentioned you being fat. Just that your face was thinner the first time around and honestly we all know how that is. I have put on a little weight so when I got bangs recently it was a total mistake compared to how great it looked the first time. ☺️

I have an easy way to drop a shit load of weight quickly - just drop that shitty friend! You'll feel better and lighter immediately
